On 3 January 2026 at Celtic Park, Rangers defeated Celtic 3-1 in the Scottish Premiership after Celtic led 1-0 at halftime.

Celtic's manager Wilfried Nancy, aged 48, who was hired from Columbus Crew in December, has suffered six defeats in eight games since taking charge.

Following the match, Celtic fans protested outside the stadium against both the club's board and the manager.

Nancy stated he does not fear being sacked and believes the team is close to turning things around, focusing on improving details and results.

The Celtic board would likely consider bringing back Martin O’Neill if Nancy were to be dismissed.

Rangers manager Danny Röhl praised a step-by-step build and said belief in the group is outstanding after the win.

This result left Rangers level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions.
