Celtic and Rangers go head-to-head at Celtic Park on Saturday, May 11, 2024 - here are our Celtic v Rangers predictions ahead of the biggest derby…

is almost upon us, with the Glasgow titans staring down their fourth and final league fixture of the Scottish Premiership 2023/24 campaign.With just three points separating the sides at the top of the table, and two league matches remaining thereafter, this Old Firm encounter is surely one of the most important in title race terms for some time.

Brendan Rodgers knows this fixture inside out and for the most part has cruised through derby meetings - I can't see it being any different this time. Next season, though, with a full summer window behind Clement well that could be a different story.I'm certain it'll be a fiercely-contested 90 minutes, but I think Celtic will prevail against Rangers on Saturday.

That said, I do feel that Celtic, who have Cameron Carter-Vickers, Reo Hatate and Callum McGregor back and who will have every fan inside the stadium behind them, will have too much for Rangers once again and will record an important victory., you'd think. Anything but a Rangers win on Saturday and I think it will be curtains as far as the title race is concerned.

Rangers know this is their last chance to salvage their title challenge, and I would expect that Philippe Clement will have his men geed up appropriately. But they will have to show a lot more than they have over recent weeks if they are to live with the revitalised champions.
