Rangers and Celtic January derby rescheduled for TV

The January Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic has been rescheduled as part of the Scottish Premiership’s festive television fixture announcements. The match, originally intended for a Saturday afternoon, has been moved to Sunday, January 3, 2027, with a midday kick-off to accommodate Sky Sports broadcasting requirements.

The rescheduling is part of a broader effort by Premiership organisers and broadcasters to maximize the exposure of high-profile matches during the busy holiday period. The Old Firm rivalry remains the most significant fixture in Scottish football, consistently drawing the largest television audiences for the division.
