The world's most intense rivalry reaches its 2025/26 climax live on TrillerTV! Glasgow stands still as Celtic hosts Rangers at a sold-out Celtic Park. With the league "split" in full effect and a historic three-way title race between the Glasgow giants and Hearts coming to a head, this Old Firm derby is essentially a championship decider.
This fourth and final league meeting of the season finds the two clubs inseparable. Rangers, led by Danny Röhl, enter the weekend in 2nd place with 69 points, while Martin O'Neill's Celtic sit just behind in 3rd with 67 points. With league-leaders Hearts also in action, the winner of this derby will likely take a definitive step toward the trophy, while the loser could see their title dreams evaporate in the East End of Glasgow.
The season series has been a rollercoaster of high-scoring drama. From Rangers' clinical 3-1 win at Celtic Park in January to the pulse-pounding 2-2 draw at Ibrox in March-where Celtic clawed back from two goals down-neither side has been able to establish total dominance. With away fans officially returning to the stands for this clash, the atmosphere at "Paradise" will be at a decade-high intensity.
Players in Focus
Celtic: Benjamin Nygren & Kieran Tierney The Hoops' title charge has been spearheaded by the Swedish sensation Benjamin Nygren, who leads the league scoring charts with 19 goals. His predatory instincts in the box are matched by the emotional leadership of Kieran Tierney. The returning hero has been the architect of Celtic's resurgence, providing world-class delivery from the left and recently scoring the vital opening goal in the previous Ibrox derby.
Rangers: Youssef Chermiti & Jack Butland For the Light Blues, the man of the moment is Youssef Chermiti. The striker has been a "Celtic specialist" this term, netting two stunning goals at Ibrox and a brace in the earlier Parkhead victory. Keeping the Hoops at bay is Jack Butland; the Rangers captain and England international remains the league's top-performing goalkeeper, whose "clutch" saves have been the backbone of Danny Röhl's tactical revolution.
