Rangers take on Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday in the first Old Firm showdown of the season.

Celtic sit five points better off than Rangers in the Scottish Premiership after six rounds of matches.

Rangers have finally found some form of late thanks to four wins on the spin, having collected just one point from their first two league games.

All that goes out the window this weekend, though, when the fierce rivals lock horns at Ibrox.

Away fans have been banned from attending each of these fixtures this season as the fallout from last season's unsavoury scenes is felt.

That means Rangers fans will pack out Ibrox, but what about those unable to make the game? Here is exactly how you can follow the match.

What channel is Rangers vs Celtic match on?

This is the first of an Old firm double-header, with the hated rivals to also meet again the following Sunday in the league.

First up is this Premier Sports Cup quarter-final tie, where a winner has to be decided on the day.

That means the possibility of some extra-time and penalty shootout drama - again.

For those unable to make the game, you can watch it live on Premier Sports, who hold the rights for the competition.

Coverage will begin at 11am, with kickoff on Sunday, 13 October at midday.

Highlights will also be available to view not long after the match concludes, whether in normal time, after extra time or indeed pens.
