The two sides are separated by two points at the top of the Scottish Women’s Premier League, and both will be looking for victory on derby day in Glasgow.

Celtic Women vs Rangers Women kick-off delayed
It was recently announced that the clash between Celtic Women and Rangers Women will be delayed by five minutes, with the kick-off time previously set at 3 pm.
The reason for this is that the UK Government are carrying out a nationwide test event, which will send an emergency alert to every phone in the country at 3 pm, and the kick-off has been delayed to accommodate this disruption.
Leanne Crichton’s side will be hoping to leapfrog Celtic to reach top spot in the SWPL, and they are unbeaten in their last seven Old Firm clashes, with a 1-0 win in May in their last meeting.
