What channel is Celtic B v Rangers B on? Is there a live stream? How to watch Lowland League Old Firm derby

Celtic and Rangers’ stars of the future will perfom a dress rehearsal for this weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final when the B sides go head-to-head at Celtic Park on Tuesday evening.

The Lowland League clash will give the club’s youngsters a chance to impress and stake a claim for promotion to the first team squad ahead of next season.

The Old Firm reserve sides are currently separated by six points, with Tommy McIntyre’s Celtic B placed third in the standings on 70 points, one place ahead of David McCallum’s Rangers B, who have a game in hand.

Rangers B blew their Celtic counterparts away in the most recent mini derby with three goals inside the opening 15 minutes securing a 3-0 win at Ibrox. That came just two weeks after a Glasgow City Cup meeting between the pair which ended in a 3-1 victory for the Bhoys.

A number of players with first team experience feature in both line-ups with Alex Lowry, Leon King and Charlie McCann all involved in the Rangers squad, while Aston Villa target Rory Wilson has also been promoted to the B side following impressive form for the under-18s.

The Hoops B team also regularly features first team fringe stars such as Karamoko Dembele, Owen Moffat and Liverpool-bound Ben Doak.
