You just wonder how far ahead Celtic will be of Rangers when the two meet at Parkhead on March 16.

Brendan Rodgers’ side hold a 13-point lead over their rivals and now Sky Sports, as well as Premier Sports, have confirmed their live TV picks for matches between February and March.

Celtic are set to feature four times in front of the cameras, including the Glasgow derby, where the champions will want revenge for the Ibrox horror show after the New Year.

It was only the second time Rodgers, including from his first spell in charge, tasted defeat in this fixture, as he and the players will want to put things right when the two sides meet again.

In and around that, the Bhoys also have a tricky trip to Easter Road to take on David Gray’s rejuvenated Hibernian, as well as welcoming faltering Aberdeen to Parkhead.

The interesting thing about Celtic’s trip to Hibs on February 22 is that the champions might just be in Champions League action that week.

Rodgers is hoping to guide the team into the play-off phase – two legs – and the dates for those matches are February 11/12 and February 18/19.

So, by the time that Hibs game comes along, Celtic will know if they are through to the round of 16 or not, with the second leg of those ties falling during the same week of the Glasgow derby.

Brendan Rodgers’ record against Rangers as Celtic manager

Class is permanent and it won’t be too long before Rodgers is showing why he has dominated Scottish football over his two spells.

Not only will he be lifting that title aloft at the end of the season, but he will also put the wrongs of Ibrox right at Parkhead.

And if you don’t believe it, then look at the reaction from both clubs post that match, as well as Rodgers’ overall record against Rangers.
