Celtic v Rangers: leaders meet in-form chasers in Premiership test | OneFootball

Celtic host Rangers in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with first facing second and early title momentum at stake.

Celtic have six wins from six to lead the table on 18 points, with Rangers five points back in second. The visitors beat the Bhoys 3-0 on 13 September in the League Cup quarter-finals to add fresh edge to this meeting.

The Bhoys have scored 14 and conceded three in the league, posting three clean sheets. Rangers arrive on a five-match winning run across competitions and have also kept three league clean sheets, suggesting a tight encounter if they can limit clear chances.

With 62% average possession and 89.18% pass accuracy, the Hoops are likely to control the ball and work the flanks, backed by four headed goals and 24.79% cross accuracy from open play. Rangers' 55% possession, 25.00% crossing accuracy and 91 attempts with 41.76% shooting accuracy point to a side that could threaten through quick deliveries and penalties when they come. Camilo Durán, Kasper Hoegh and Benjamin Nygren lead the hosts with three league goals each, while Lawrence Shankland tops Rangers' chart with three.

A home win would move the Hoops to 21 points and strengthen their grip on top spot. Victory for Rangers would take them to 16 and cut the gap in the title race, while a draw would keep the current top-two order intact.
