What channel is Celtic vs Rangers? Live stream TV and kick-off details for crunch Premiership derby clash
It's the first clash of the season between the fierce Glasgow rivals in the east end of the city
Celtic and Rangers do battle for the first time this season as the champions and the challengers lock horns in the east end.
Brendan Rodgers could hand a debut to club record signing Arne Engels, while Luke McCowan will also be desperate to get a taste of the fixture after sealing a dramatic last-gasp move from Dundee. Rangers were also able to get more new faces in the form of Feyenoord loanee Neraysho Kasanwirjo and Albania international Nedim Bajrami – but the latter's paperwork didn't go through on time for today's game.
Philippe Clement will be hoping his new men can help reverse the Light Blues recent record against Celtic, having lost three and drew one of his four encounters last season. Can the Belgian break his derby duck and breathe some life into Rangers' title charge or will the champions prove to be too much for them once more? Here's everything you need to know about the big game.

Eyes will be drawn to Celtic Park this weekend as Celtic and Rangers go head-to-head in the first Old Firm fixture of the William Hill Premiership season.
Brendan Rodgers' side go into the eagerly-anticipated derby clash as heavy favourites after an imperious start to their title defence that has seen them collect a maximum nine points with a combined 9-0 scoreline.
Rangers have been patchy by comparison, dropping points in a goalless draw away to Hearts on the opening day of the season before exiting the Champions League at the first hurdle to Dinamo Kyiv.
A Celtic victory would open up a sizeable five-point gap at the top of the table after just four matches, however, the Gers received a timely boost ahead of the trip to Parkhead after producing their best performance of the season in a 6-0 win over Ross County at Hampden last weekend.
The fixture will again feature no away fans after an agreement for the return of visiting ticket allocations was put on hold due to the uncertainty over ongoing building works at Ibrox leaving Celtic unwilling to allow Rangers fans into the stadium without the concrete assurance that a reciprocal arrangement will be in place for the return match in Govan on January 2.
It will be the first meeting of the Glasgow rivals following a summer of transfer activity that will likely see a number of derby debutants on both sides of the pitch, adding to the intrigue of a powderkeg fixture that is rarely lacking in drama.

Celtic v Rangers team news
Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has emerged as a possible doubt after missing the club's open training session on Friday morning. New signing Alex Valle is likely to start on the bench following the left-back's arrival on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona. Celtic are also working on further arrivals ahead of the transfer deadline that could see Augsburg midfielder Arne Engels and Sheffield United defender Auston Trusty added to the squad before Sunday.
Rangers have injury doubts over defenders Leon Balogun and Robin Propper while Oscar Cortes and Ridvan Yilmaz remain out. Nico Raskin is back in training after an ankle injury and could feature. Rangers could add new faces to the squad with deadline day moves for Feyenoord defender Neraysho Kasanwirjo and Sassuolo attacking midfielder Nedim Bajrami.
