Rangers vs Celtic: TV channel, kick-off time, Glasgow derby team news, referee & VAR

The final Glasgow derby of the season is upon us as Celtic face Rangers at Ibrox.

No fixture against Rangers is ever meaningless, but in the context of the Scottish Premiership title, this game has absolutely nothing riding on it.

Celtic wrapped up their fourth consecutive league title last weekend against Dundee United at Tannadice with a rampant 5-0 win.

And it left Rangers with zero chance of catching Celtic, which was extremely unlikely anyway. They will have to settle for second place as they usually do nowadays.

Around 2,000 Celtic fans will be inside Ibrox this weekend and will be hoping their team can avenge the previous two defeats to Rangers.

That will be Brendan Rodgers’ motivation on Sunday because losing three in a row to your arch-rivals is not how you want to end the league season.

Below, 67 Hail Hail has everything you need to know about Rangers vs Celtic including TV and live stream details, the latest team and injury news, plus the appointed officials.
