Celtic and Rangers will battle it out for the first time in the new Scottish Premiership season as the fierce rival go head to head at Parkhead.

Brendan Rodgers came out on top three months ago as the Hoops ended the season with the Scottish Cup to complete a domestic double in his first season back in the Hoops hot-set.

The defeat means Philippe Clement is now going into his fifth fixture against Celtic without a victory. He lost three last season and drew one. The Belgian is already trailing the champions by a couple of points in the league table and defeat would leave a significant gap even at this early stage. Can the Belgian break his derby duck?
