Will Celtic ease the pressure or Rangers narrow the gap?

Celtic host Rangers in the first Scottish Premiership Old Firm clash of the season on Sunday. Martin O'Neill's side enters the fixture under pressure following back-to-back defeats, including a 3-0 loss to Rangers in the League Cup and a 3-1 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros. A victory for Celtic would move them eight points clear of their rivals at the top of the table.

Rangers, managed by Derek McInnes, aim to secure their sixth consecutive victory across all competitions and close the gap to two points behind Celtic. Due to an ongoing ticket allocation dispute between the two clubs, only Celtic supporters will be permitted inside Parkhead for the match.
