Is Celtic vs Rangers on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Old Firm clash

Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers meet in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday, their first top-flight encounter of the season. Rangers sit five points behind hosts Celtic in the Scottish Premiership but came out on top in their first meeting of this campaign, a 3-0 drubbing in the Scottish League Cup. Both teams have had a mixed start to the season: Martin O’Neill’s side have six wins from six top-flight games but go into this encounter off back-to-back losses, in the League Cup quarter-final and a 3-1 loss in their first Europa League group stage game. Rangers meanwhile are out of the Europa League already after a run of four matches without a win, before an uptick in form and seven wins in their next eight - including that triumph against Celtic. This time though Derek McInnes’ men will be without travelling support after all away fans were banned at Old Firm matches for this season. Here’s everything you need to know.
