What channel is Rangers v Celtic on? Kick off time and latest team news- 2 January 2021
Rangers host Celtic in an Old Firm derby clash to kick-start 2021 in spectacular fashion live on Sky Sports.
The Scottish Premiership season has only just crept into 2021 but it feels like we're in the endgame as Rangers take on Celtic knowing that a victory would stack the title races odds overwhelmingly in their favour.
Celtic have games in hand to play, but their form simply hasn't been ruthless enough to keep pace with Steven Gerrard's men.
Neil Lennon is under massive pressure to claw something from an Old Firm derby that could have massive ramifications for his future.
Rangers have been fired along by a host of goal-grabbing stars, from right-back sensation James Tavernier to Kemar Roofe to Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe who have been slightly less prolific than expected, despite the Gers' rampant form.
The title race still has a long way to run, but Rangers will know that a big performance here will stand them in excellent stead.
