Rangers go into Sunday's Old Firm derby at home to Celtic knowing three points will be enough to see them go top of the Scottish Premiership.
After a difficult start to the season under the stewardship of Michael Beale - losing three of their opening seven league matches of the season - Belgian Philippe Clement has galvanised Rangers since taking the reins at Ibrox in October with the Gers currently one point off Celtic at the top of the table with a game in hand.
This narrow margin between the Glasgow rivals makes the latest Old Firm derby a pivotal one, with the outcome of Sunday's match set to go a long way towards determining who will be crowned champions of Scotland this year.
Rangers v Celtic in the Scottish Premiership is available to watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football in the United Kingdom.
Rangers v Celtic will kick off at 12:00 GMT at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday 7th April 2024.
Philippe Clement's Rangers have won 10 of their last 11 matches in the Scottish Premiership, with their latest defeat coming in their most recent home match in the league as Motherwell prevailed 2-1 at Ibrox in March.
Celtic's form has been less impressive of late, with the Hoops having dropped points in three of their last eight league games to give Rangers impetus in the title race.
Celtic have prevailed in both Old Firm derbies in Scotland's top flight so far this season - winning 1-0 at Ibrox in September and triumphing 2-1 at Parkhead in December.
