VS
Celtic vs Rangers carries a stronger historical balance for Celtic, but Rangers have repeatedly overturned that expectation. Three 2026 league results capture the tension: Rangers won 3-1 at Celtic on 3 January, the return meeting ended 2-2, and Celtic won 3-1 on 10 May. The fixture’s interest lies in how readily either side can challenge the underlying balance in different competitions.

Stats for this game
Matchup Celtic VS Rangers
A historical advantage under pressure
Celtic’s longer-term edge gives this meeting a clear baseline, yet the scorelines around it resist any settled conclusion. Rangers won 3-1 at Celtic on 3 January 2026, while the return at Rangers on 1 March ended 2-2. Celtic then won 3-1 at home on 10 May. Together, those fixed results document wins for both sides and a draw within a five-month span, despite Celtic’s historical advantage.
League and cup paths
The cup adds a different kind of uncertainty. On 2 November 2025, Celtic beat Rangers 3-1 after a 1-1 score at the end of normal time and two extra-time goals. On 8 March 2026, the FA Cup quarter-final stayed 0-0 through the match before Celtic advanced 4-2 on penalties. A 3-3 League Cup final on 15 December 2024 also went to penalties, with Celtic prevailing 5-4. Decisive wins, draws, extra time and shoot-outs all appear among these dated outcomes, keeping a measured outlook appropriate whenever the clubs meet.
