Celtic face Rangers in the Premier League of Scotland on January 3. The match is set to start at 12:30 UTC.
As Celtic and Rangers are set to clash again, the memory of Celtic's 3-1 win in their League Cup Final Stages encounter from a month ago still lingers. Celtic's recent form has been disappointing, with consecutive defeats to Roma and Hearts. They face a packed schedule leading up to their match against Rangers though, with fixtures including Motherwell, Livingston, Aberdeen, Dundee United and Falkirk in Scottish Premiership and St. Mirren in League Cup Final Stages, all of which will test their form and squad depth before facing Rangers.
Rangers's form has been disappointing as well, approaching this match after a defeat to Ferencvaros in the Europa League League Stage last Thursday. Before facing Celtic, they will face St. Mirren, Motherwell, Hearts and Hibernian in Scottish Premiership, matches that could play a role in shaping their form and readiness for Celtic.
In this Scottish Premiership showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Celtic and Rangers throughout the campaign. Celtic’s top finisher Benjamin Nygren and Daizen Maeda have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Wilfried Nancy, remains effective. With five goals in Scottish Premiership, Nygren is Celtic’s top scorer in the league, and has also shown his creativity, leading the team with two assists this campaign. Celtic’s attacking depth is further showcased by Kieran Tierney, Reo Hatate and Arne Engels, who have each made valuable contributions this season.
Meanwhile, Rangers’s offensive unit, shaped by Danny Rohl’s vision, has leaned on James Tavernier, their main scorer, and Djeidi Gassama, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Tavernier has emerged as Rangers’s leading scorer in Scottish Premiership this season, netting four goals, while also leading the team in assists, having set up three goals this campaign. Supporting them are Nicolas Raskin, Bojan Miovski and Danilo, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Rangers’s attack.
