Celtic vs Rangers LIVE as Jess Pegram forced off with first half injury

It's a blockbuster Sunday in the SWPL as Celtic and Rangers lock horns for the first time this season.

Elena Sadiku's side go into this one sitting top of the SWPL in the very early stages after three wins from three so far.

Leanne Crichton and her troops are also unbeaten but have dropped points to Hearts as they look to claim the derby bragging rights.

Rangers go into this one after a narrow win over Motherwell last weekend while the Hoops battered Partick Thistle on the road 7-0.

However, the main stat for the duo is that Rangers are unbeaten in the last SEVEN derbies.

That sequence includes three draws and two wins on league duty and a further two wins in the cup.

It is a run that doesn't worry Sadiku who has insisted that her camp are full of confidence and excitement.

She is adamant when it comes to beating Rangers there is no mental block.

New boss Crichton wasn't part of that long unbeaten run as she gets set for her dugout debut in the big fixture.

Will Celtic push themselves five clear of their rivals so early in the season or can the Light Blues inflict a first defeat on their city rivals and leapfrog them in the early standings?
