Rangers and Celtic will renew their rivalry in this weekend's Old Firm derby.

They sit in unusual positions going into the Scottish Premiership clash. The teams sit fourth and fifth respectively after three games, with Celtic only ahead by virtue of a huge goal haul.

Each side has tasted defeat during the fledgling stages of the campaign, but both will be determined to notch up an early victory over the other.

Rangers host this one at Ibrox and will be desperate to put on a show for a packed-out crowd still giddy from their title win earlier this year.

Celtic is the wounded animal after last season, but the team has won its last two league fixtures 6-0 as Celtic begins to turn up the heat in 2021/22.

Our prediction: Rangers v Celtic

The pressure will never change, regardless of where we are in the season, how wide the gap between the pair is, or how often they face each other.

Defeat remains an unacceptable prospect for both sides. It is simply not an option, and the teams looks well-matched going into this encounter and the season ahead.

Rangers were rocked during the week following news of several first-team players being forced to self-isolate, as well as boss Steven Gerrard.

It remains unclear whether the absent parties will return for this one, but whoever does start will look to dig in deep and grind out a point.

Our prediction: Rangers 1-1 Celtic (13/2 at bet365)
