Celtic v Rangers: Pick of the stats
[BBC] Celtic are without a win in six league meetings with Rangers (D3 L3), last going longer without a victory in the derby from September 1995 to November 1997 (10). Rangers have won their past two league visits to Celtic, as many as their previous 19 beforehand (W2 D4 L13). The Ibrox side last won three successive league trips to their Old Firm rivals in November 1992 under Walter Smith.
Celtic have only won the final Old Firm derby of a Scottish Premiership season (including curtailed 2019-20 campaign) in one of the past seven campaigns (D2 L4), a 2-1 victory in 2023-24. Celtic have won their past four league games; their longest Premiership winning run this season is five matches, which came during Martin O'Neill's first spell in charge from October to December. Rangers have lost their past two league games, as many as their previous 39 beforehand (W21 D16 L2), but haven't lost three in a row since October 2000 under Dick Advocaat.
After overseeing a 3-1 victory at Celtic Park in January, Danny Rohl could become only the second manager to win his first two away league games against Celtic in charge of Rangers, after Walter Smith (first three from 1991 to 1992). Daizen Maeda has scored three goals in Celtic's past two league games, as many as his previous 20 Premiership appearances beforehand. Maeda is looking to score in three successive appearances in the competition for the first time since March 2025 (run of five), while he has two goals in his past three league games against Rangers at Celtic Park.
Youssef Chermiti has scored four in two league appearances against Celtic this season, the most by a Rangers player in a single league campaign since Mark Walters in 1988-89 (also four). No player has ever scored five against their Old Firm rivals in one league season.
