Celtic come into this one with the steadier recent league run, having won four of their last five and kept three clean sheets in that spell. Rangers have still been scoring freely, but back-to-back defeats against Hearts and Motherwell suggest a bit more fragility at the wrong end of the pitch. With Celtic Park the venue and both sides using a 4-2-3-1 in the predicted line-ups, the midfield battle should be central to how this opens up.
Rangers have already shown they can trouble Celtic in this head-to-head, including a 3-1 win in January and a 2-2 draw in March, so there is enough evidence to expect chances at both ends. Celtic’s recent results point to a tighter, more controlled approach, while Rangers’ last five have been more volatile, with high-scoring wins followed by narrow losses. Match Prediction: Celtic 2-1 Rangers
Form Guide & Team Overview
Celtic
Celtic’s recent league form is strong, with four wins from their last five matches. They have beaten Hibernian, Falkirk, St. Mirren and Dundee, and the only setback was a 0-2 loss away to Dundee United.
The clean-sheet wins over St. Mirren and Falkirk suggest they have been managing games well, while the 2-1 wins show they can still edge tighter contests. Overall, the recent run points to a side arriving in better rhythm than their rivals.

Rangers
Rangers’ recent league form is mixed, with two defeats in their last two and three wins before that. They lost 1-2 away to Hearts and 2-3 at home to Motherwell, but had previously beaten Falkirk, Dundee United and Aberdeen.
The scoring numbers have been strong in those wins, including 6-3 at Falkirk and 4-2 against Dundee United, so they are clearly capable of creating chances. The concern is that the last two results show they have been conceding too, which makes their recent form less stable than Celtic’s.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Celtic (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Viljami Sinisalo (Goalkeeper), Alistair Johnston (Defender), Auston Trusty (Defender), Kieran Tierney (Defender), Liam Scales (Defender), Arne Engels (Midfielder), Benjamin Nygren (Midfielder), Callum McGregor (Midfielder), Hyun-jun Yang (Midfielder), Sebastian Tounekti (Midfielder), Daizen Maeda (Attacker)
Celtic’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them a solid base through Callum McGregor and Arne Engels, with enough control to feed the attacking line. Daizen Maeda can then stretch Rangers’ back line and give Celtic a direct outlet when they win the ball back.
Rangers (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Jack Butland (Goalkeeper), Dujon Sterling (Defender), Emmanuel Fernandez (Defender), James Tavernier (Defender), Nasser Djiga (Defender), Andreas Skov Olsen (Midfielder), Mikey Moore (Midfielder), Mohamed Diomandé (Midfielder), Nicolas Raskin (Midfielder), Tochi Chukwuani (Midfielder), Youssef Chermiti (Attacker)
Rangers’ predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a similar midfield structure, with Nicolas Raskin and Tochi Chukwuani likely important in protecting the defence and linking play. Andreas Skov Olsen and Mikey Moore can support Youssef Chermiti by getting runners around him and creating chances from wide areas.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Celtic | Rangers | Text |
|---|---|---|
| Celtic | Rangers | Daizen Maeda’s movement against Dujon Sterling could be decisive if Celtic look to attack the space behind Rangers’ right side. |
| Celtic | Rangers | Arne Engels against Andreas Skov Olsen looks a key midfield-to-wide duel, with both sides needing control in transition. |
| Celtic | Rangers | Daizen Maeda is key for Celtic because he gives them pace, pressure and a direct threat at the top end of the pitch. |
| Celtic | Rangers | Youssef Chermiti is key for Rangers because he is the main attacking reference point in the predicted 4-2-3-1. |
