Celtic targeting Rangers by stripping them of ANOTHER iconic record – Rodgers stands 90 minutes from 2 seismic scalps

Celtic have a chance to nudge ahead in another huge Old Firm bragging rights stat today....they will overtake Rangers in total wins in Scottish football's domestic competitions if they triumph at Ibrox.

And Brendan Rodgers knows victory south of the river will see him earn a 17th win against Rangers – as much as he managed against any other team as that number draws his victory haul level with Aberdeen.

The Hoops passed Rangers' cherished trophy haul of 118 in last month's rollercoaster Premier Sports Cup Final win at Hampden after that penalty shootout win following the 3-3 draw. It meant Celtic have won more major trophies than Rangers after their 119th success.

And they can go one ahead of Rangers today in the combined total meetings of league, Scottish Cup and League Cup games. Incredibly, both sides are locked at 170 wins each since they played their first competitive match in the Scottish League in 1891. Celtic were well behind but Rangers' record of just one win in their last 14 meetings - where Celtic have won nine in that period - have seen them poised to overtake them in another major milestone.

The Parkhead side are behind by ten when it comes to league meetings, with Rangers ahead by 127 wins to 117. But in both domestic cups, Celtic have won more games. They are up 27-19 in the Scottish Cup and 26-24 in the League Cup.
And the combined totals reach 170 wins apiece.

Rangers would have won the title if goal difference was used. The SFA shipped in an English
