Celtic face Rangers in what could be Martin O'Neill's final Old Firm derby with their title hopes hanging by a thread. O'Neill's side trail Hearts by three points and a defeat could end their title defense despite still feeling the championship is in their grasp.

Rangers, officially out of contention if Hearts win, can still secure second place and Champions League qualifying. The Ibrox side won the last meeting at Parkhead, but manager Danny Röhl has yet to overcome O'Neill this season with a league draw and two cup defeats.

Röhl insists nobody needs extra motivation for this fixture and wants to make supporters proud. He acknowledged Rangers' recent inconsistency but highlighted their ability to turn games around, as shown in their last match. The German remains committed to Rangers despite Bundesliga links, emphasizing the need to raise standards.
