"The meeting of Glasgow's top two usually tops the bill on the Scottish fixture card but Saturday's meeting at Celtic Park holds particular intrigue. Celtic under new manager Wilfried Nancy have lost five of their past seven games, three of which have come in the league. That has taken the defending Premiership champions to five losses in the division at their halfway point."
"Derby day beckons. And it beckons at Tannadice too. Dundee and Dundee United meet for the second time this season, with United having won their maiden encounter this campaign. For the visitors, it is the chance to record three wins on the bounce for the first time this season. Successive victories were achieved with Ashley Hay and Charlie Reilly netting their first goals for the club at home to Kilmarnock on Tuesday evening. That 2-1 win moved the Dark Blues up to ninth."
The Scottish Premiership resumes with all 12 teams in action on the first weekend of 2026. Celtic host Rangers at Celtic Park while Celtic have lost five of their past seven matches and registered five league defeats at the halfway stage under Wilfried Nancy. Rangers, managed by Danny Rohl, have eight wins and two draws in the league but still trail Celtic and sit six points behind leaders Hearts. Any dropped points by either Glasgow side would allow Hearts to extend their advantage. Motherwell and Hibernian remain within reach but have played an extra game. The Dundee derby offers United a chance for a third consecutive victory.
