Here's another appealing fixture in the Premiership. Celtic is in the 1st spot from completing five games. They greet Rangers who are placed 2nd from five games.
- Celtic have the most scored goals (21) in Premiership
- Rangers have the most matches over the total-line (4) in Premiership
These teams both come from Glasgow, the biggest city in Scotland. The two teams are by far the most popular and successful in the country, and their rivalry is a classic in Scottish culture which also reflects political, social and religious differences. It’s called the Old Firm whenever these two meet, and the meetings are rarely without drama.
This is a game between neighbours, usually meaning added tension and significance.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
