Rangers v Celtic: Match facts as Champions go to Ibrox | OneFootball

Celtic are at Ibrox this afternoon for the final Glasgow Derby of the season. Celtic are Chamoions after winning at Tannadice last week and there will be a party in Govan as 2500 Celtic fans travel across to Govan.

Thanks to One Football, here are some match facts ahead of the game.

Rangers have won both of their last two league games against Celtic, last winning three in a row over their rivals in January 2021. The Gers had won just one of their previous 12 against the Hoops (D3 L8) prior to their last two successive wins.

After their 3-0 defeat in January, Celtic could lose two away league games against Rangers in a season for the first time since 2020-21, which was the last season they failed to win the Scottish Premiership.

The side scoring first has only lost one of their last 26 league Old Firm derbies between Rangers and Celtic (W21 D4), with that a 2-1 defeat for Rangers at home in April 2022. In the last five league matches between the two clubs, the opener has been scored within the opening seven minutes.

Rangers have conceded at least two goals in each of their last eight league games (17 goals conceded overall). The last Scottish top-flight side to concede 2+ goals more times in a row were Gretna from February to April 2008 (10).

Celtic have a goal difference of +80 in this season’s Scottish Premiership (102 scored, 22 conceded). In their league history, only in 1915-16 (+93), 1935-36 (+82), 1967-68 (+92), and 2016-17 (+81) have they ever had a better difference between goals scored and conceded at the end of a campaign.

After guiding them to a 3-2 win in March, Barry Ferguson could become the first ever Rangers manager to win both of his first two league meetings with Celtic in charge of the club.

Daizen Maeda has scored in three of Celtic’s four meetings with Rangers in all competitions this season; he had only scored in two of his first 15 Old Firm derby appearances before this. Maeda has 33 goals and 10 assists in 47 games for Celtic in all competitions in 2024–25 overall.

Each of Rangers’ last 10 league goals against Celtic have been scored by different players. Celtic will be looking to be more secure at the back, having conceded nine goals in their last three meetings with Rangers.
