Leaders Hearts watch on as thrilling Scottish Premiership title race prepares for another potential twist

Celtic and Rangers renew their rivalry today in another huge Old Firm derby that will have a decisive say in an incredible Scottish Premiership title race.

Celtic sit second and four points adrift of Hearts with three matches left to play this season, having seen the league-leaders on Saturday be held to a 1-1 draw by Motherwell. Celtic can close the gap to just one point with victory over their bitter rivals today.

Rangers’ hopes appear all but over after losing 2-1 to Hearts at Tynecastle on Monday, with Danny Rohl’s third-place team now sitting eight points adrift of Hearts and four behind Celtic, who contest the Scottish Cup final against Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline later this month. But they will by highly motivated to try and spoil their arch-rivals’ chances this afternoon.

Celtic vs Rangers is scheduled for a 12pm BST kick-off today, Sunday, May 10, 2026.

The match will take place at Celtic Park in Glasgow.

TV channel: The latest Old Firm derby will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Coverage begins at 11am BST on Sky Sports Football.

Celtic are expecting Daizen Maeda to be fit after he suffered a foot issue having scored the opener against Hibs, while Iheanacho will be pushing to start after his crucial winner in Edinburgh that took his recent tally to four goals in five games.

However, the game will come too soon for Cameron Carter-Vickers as he works his way back from a serious Achilles injury, while loanees Tomas Cvancara and Julian Araujo remain sidelined along with Jota, Kasper Schmeichel, Callum Osmand, Colby Donovan and Adam Montgomery.

As for Rangers, Ryan Naderi and Tuur Rommens both returned off the bench against Hearts in a key double boost, but teenage midfielder Bailey Rice is still out.

It feels nigh-on impossible to predict much correctly during one of the most captivating title races that has played out anywhere across European football in recent seasons.

The constant drama and non-stop twists and turns have been nothing short of extraordinary and it would not be at all surprising to see it go right down to the wire, with Celtic hosting Hearts on the final day.

Depending on Hearts’ result at Fir Park on Saturday night, victory may well be essential for Celtic to keep their challenge alive, especially with Hearts hosting Falkirk next and Celtic having to go to Motherwell themselves.

Rangers will be so disappointed to have seen their own title tilt fall away with those back-to-back losses to Motherwell and Hearts, but they would still relish dealing a hammer blow to Celtic’s hopes and could still have a huge say in the trophy’s destination.

Draw, 1-1.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

These two sides last met in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup at Ibrox in March, when Celtic triumphed 4-2 on penalties following a goalless draw after extra time.

Celtic fought back to salvage a dramatic 2-2 draw in the last Premiership clash at Ibrox a week before that cup tie, after Rangers had won 3-1 at Celtic Park in January.

Celtic beat 10-man Rangers by the same scoreline after extra time in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals at Hampden Park in November, after the two clubs had played out a rare bore draw at Ibrox in August.
