Since Brendan Rodgers returned to Celtic in the summer, the Hoops have failed to win three successive games.
With the derby approaching, it could be time to put this shocking statistic to bed.
This opportunity for a third straight win follows recent victories against Livingston and Dundee, where Celtic won 2-0 and 3-0, respectively.
The derby is significant for both teams. Rangers will be aiming to take the top spot in the league, while Celtic seeks to extend their lead to five points, consolidating their position at the summit.
While the win would mean so much as far as the league table is concerned, it would also be good to win three back-to-back matches, something a team like Celtic should’ve done well before December.
It’s fair to say that Brendan Rodgers’ return hasn’t quite hit the heights that many were expecting just yet, but the team seem to be turning a corner, with performance levels increasing in the last few matches. The derby is a big one for the manager and his players.
