Rangers eye top spot at Dundee as Celtic host Hearts in title-race weekend

Rangers target summit at Dens Park

Second-placed Rangers can go top of the Scottish Premiership overnight with a win at Dundee on Saturday, with the hosts sitting fourth. The leaders, Celtic, are at home to Hearts on Sunday as the title race tightens at the top of the table.

The fixture list follows a week in which Rangers briefly climbed to the top of the standings. As reported on 10 October 2026, Ryan Naderi headed two first-half goals as Rangers beat Kilmarnock 3-1 at Ibrox to leapfrog Celtic at the summit, with Kevin Kelsy also scoring his first league goal for the club before Nicky Clescenco's last-minute consolation ended Rangers' run of four straight clean sheets.

Celtic, meanwhile, returned to the top on 11 October 2026 when first-half goals from Camilo Duran and a second-half strike from Benjamin Nygren sealed a 2-0 win at Motherwell, ending a three-game losing run and easing the pressure on manager Martin O'Neill. Both clubs now face fresh tests as the weekend's fixtures unfold.
