What channel is Celtic v Rangers on? TV details, live stream, kick-off time for Old Firm title showdown

Celtic and Rangers go head-to-head for final time this season on Sunday in a match that could determine the outcome of the Scottish Premiership title race.

Victory for Celtic would open up a nine-point advantage over their Glasgow rivals and given their sizeable goal difference advantage, it would all but secure the championship for Ange Postecoglou’s men with three games to spare, though they would need one more point to make it official.

Even a draw would leave Celtic with a near insurmountable six-point lead with three matches remaining, meaning that Rangers need to win, and in doing so reduce the gap to three points, to retain any slim hopes of overhauling the league leaders.

That will be easier said than done for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men with the match sandwiched between two huge Europa League semi-final ties, with the 1-0 first leg defeat to RB Leipzig coming just three days before the Celtic Park showdown, ahead of the second leg at Ibrox next Thursday.

Another fascinating Old Firm battle is in store and here’s how you can watch the action unfold …
