    Champions Celtic scored 114 league goals last season - along with 12 in the Viaplay Cup and 15 in the Scottish Cup - but that's two games in a row without finding the net.

    They have not gone three competitive games in a row without a goal since 1994!

    Celtic have also been turned over at Rugby Park, toppling out of the League Cup, before last weekend's frustrating 0-0 draw at home to St Johnstone.

    Brendan Rodgers' men were booed off that day, with the manager admitting the criticism was merited.

  3. Rangers must shake off Dutch drubbingpublished at 11:21 British Summer Time 3 September 2023

    Rangers v Celtic (12:00)

    Rangers need to pick themselves up after a bruising exit from Champions League qualifying.

    PSV Eindhoven were out for revenge and dished it out in ruthless style as the Rangers defence wilted. The Dutch side scored five on Wednesday and it could have been a few more if not for Jack Butland in between the sticks.

    Michael Beale's team find themselves playing catch up in the league following their opening day defeat at Kilmarnock.

    Home trio Jack Butland, Dujon Sterling and Cyriel Dessers are getting their first experience of this fixture.

    It's the same story for both of Celtic's centre-halves; Gustaf Lagerbielke and Liam Scales, even though the latter has been at the club for two years.

  5. Celtic restore Abada, Palma on benchpublished at 11:11 British Summer Time 3 September 2023

    Rangers v Celtic (12:00)

    Celtic make just one change from the 0-0 draw at home to St Johnstone eight days ago, with Liel Abada replacing Yang Hyun-Jun.

    Luis Palma is the only one of this week's three signings to make the visitors' bench.

    Ryan Jack is preferred to Jose Cifuentes in midfield after Wednesday's 5-1 hammering by PSV in Eindhoven, with John Lundstram also dropping out.

    Kemar Roofe is in from the start up front.

    Rangers v Celtic (12:00)

    Good morning. Are you ready for the first Old Firm derby of the season?

    A home win would take Rangers top of the table, while a draw or better at Ibrox lifts Celtic back to the summit at this early stage.

    There's already a bit of pressure building on both bosses after rather unconvincing starts, which is slightly unusual.

    Our radio coverage starts at 11:30. Meanwhile, let's have a look at the line-ups...
