What channel is Rangers v Celtic Scottish Premiership match on? Kick off time and latest team news- 2 May 2021
Champions Rangers host Celtic in the last Old Firm clash of the season
Scottish champions Rangers will hope to go a full Premiership season unbeaten against rivals Celtic for the first time since 1999/00 when the two Glasgow sides meet at Ibrox on Sunday.
Rangers boast a W2 D1 record against Celtic in the league this term, and also defeated the Hoops 2-0 in the Scottish FA Cup in mid-April.
Since that victory Steven Gerrard’s men are winless from their last two outings and were dumped out of the Cup to St Johnstone on penalties last weekend.
Celtic, meanwhile, are limping to the end of the season and needed Leigh Griffiths’ late goal to rescue a point from their recent trip to Aberdeen.
The Old Firm this season has offered plenty of spice even without fans in the stands – and Sunday’s clash will be no different as Gerrard seeks to compound Celtic’s recent misery.

Our prediction: Rangers v Celtic
Celtic can’t wait for the season to be over but for Rangers they will want to enjoy their newly earned dominance over their rivals and claim a victory at Ibrox.
This could be a tight affair as a long season winds down for both sets of players, but don’t be surprised if Rangers control much of the central third.
Rangers have scored the opener in all three of their wins over Celtic so far this term, and an early goal on Sunday wouldn’t come as a surprise. Expect the match to be feisty, while the hosts should eventually come out on top.
Our prediction: Rangers 2-1 Celtic (17/2 at bet365)
