The derby on April 7th has the potential to make an impact on the standings.

But, the matches leading up to the derby are as equally important. These matches could significantly impact their positions in the Scottish Premiership standings before the anticipated clash.

So, let’s take a look at the fixtures for both sides.

Celtic’s Upcoming Fixtures:

Date	Opponent	Location
03 March	Hearts	Away
16 March	St Johnstone	Home
31 March	Livingston	Away
07 April	Rangers (Derby)	Away

Celtic, currently trailing by two points for the top spot, have a series of critical matches. Their performance in these games will be vital in keeping up with Rangers and setting the stage for a potential leap to the top spot in the derby, especially considering their success at Ibrox earlier this season.

The match this weekend against Hearts is a big one for the Hoops, win this and the momentum will be right with Celtic.

Rangers’ Upcoming Fixtures:

Date	Opponent	Location
02 March	Motherwell	Home
17 March	Dundee	Away
