Celtic hosts Rangers on September 20 at Celtic Park for the Old Firm derby, holding a five-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership with 18 points from six matches and a plus-11 goal difference. The team arrives in concerning form after two consecutive defeats: 3-0 against these same Rangers in the League Cup quarter-final, followed by a 3-1 home loss to Ferencvaros in the Europa League. The table stakes are significant: a Celtic win extends their lead to eight points, while a Rangers victory cuts it to just two. Celtic is also targeting a 14th consecutive league victory, which would represent their longest winning streak in the Premiership since 2017.
