The latest meeting of these two arch rivals feels huge in the Scottish Premiership title race, as both clubs bid to hunt down leaders Hearts.

New Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy is under increasing pressure after losing five of his first seven games in charge. Defeat against a rejuvenated Rangers would only turn up the scrutiny on him.

Rangers have four wins from their last five games under new manager Danny Rohl, who has lifted the Ibrox club up to third in the table and within three points of Celtic.

After a nightmare stat to the season under Russell Martin, Rangers are now only six points behind Hearts and fans are dreaming of an unlikely title challenge in the second half of the season.

Both clubs have endured difficult starts to the season in which they have both changed managers, struggled for consistency and endured some damaging defeats.

But with Hearts not in action until later in the day when they play Livingston, this is a big opportunity to put some pressure on the leaders after they lost 3-2 to Hibs in the Edinburgh derby last weekend.
