How to watch Celtic vs Rangers women as crucial SWPL derby could decide fate of title

It's another massive SWPL derby this weekend as Celtic take on Rangers - with the title potentially riding on the result.

It's Jo Potter's team who have been top dogs in the Scottish women's game so far this season and a four-point gap at the top has them hot favourites to win the trophy for the second time. But that could all be blown wide open if Celtic do the business on Sunday as Elena Sadiku looks to snatch it in her first season after coming in to replace Fran Alonso earlier this season.

The Hoops are still hurting after losing the title to Glasgow City so late last season and they know defeat here would leave them needing a minor miracle given the Rangers have only dropped six points so far. But a win puts them back in touching distance and with a trip to City to follow this one, it's two games that could come to define their season. Here's everything you need to know about the box office SWPL clash.

The game takes place on St Patrick's Day, Sunday March 17. It's at Celtic's usual home, the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie, and kick-off is at 4.10pm.

The stakes could hardly be higher for this one. Going into the post-split season, Rangers are top on 60 points, and both Celtic and Glasgow City are four points back on 56. But with each of the big three yet to face one another, it could all easily swing. A win for Celtic here would put them within a point of Rangers while a win for the leaders would put them seven clear - which would leave Celtic's title hopes hinging on a dramatic collapse.
