Celtic begin preparations for Glasgow Derby against Rangers | OneFootball

Celtic are preparing for Sunday’s Glasgow Derby against Rangers as Brendan Rodgers’ side look for revenge against the Ibrox side. Philippe Clement’s team won a rare victory over Celtic back in January at Ibrox but the result has been inconsequential for Celtic’s march towards a fourth successive title.

The Scottish Champions can win the Premiership title if they win their next three games, starting with a win on Sunday. The weekend’s game will be a first since January 2023 with away supporters returning. There will be around 2500 Rangers supporters in attendance for the game.

Celtic have erected large nets for the game to protect home supporters from missiles being sent from the away section.

Celtic welcomed 7000 away fans to Celtic Park for the Scottish Cup Quarter Final win over Hibs. It was good to see a return to larger allocations for domestic games. It will be an added boost to the atmosphere at the weekend to have away supporters back in the ground but only if they can be safely managed. Rangers have agreed to Celtic’s security demands, as brokered by the SPFL, resulting in a return to sizeable allocations.
