The Broadwood Stadium will be the centre of attention in the SWPL on Thursday night as Rangers and Celtic go head-to-head in the season's first Old Firm Derby.

Both teams have kicked off the campaign strongly, remaining unbeaten in their seven matches. However, it's Jo Potter's Gers who currently sit at the top of the SWPL due to goal difference, having bagged maximum points so far. Celtic, with six wins and a draw from their seven games, are in third place, trailing Glasgow City by two points who have played a game more.

Elena Sadiku's squad recently made history by qualifying for the Women's Champions League group stage for the first time, where they'll face FC Twente, Real Madrid and Chelsea in an enticing Group B. The Swedish manager is aware that a crucial three points against their fiercest rivals could see them leading the SWPL going into the weekend.

However, the reigning champions haven't managed to secure a win in their last two matches against the Light Blues, and were denied a treble last season when Rangers knocked them out in the semi-finals of both the Sky Sports Cup and Scottish Cup. With all the ingredients for an exciting match, Football Scotland has everything you need to know ahead of the game.
