Rangers vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions
Nine points separate the two Scottish giants, Rangers and Celtic as they start the year 2023, and they open the year with the Old Firm Derby this Monday in a game that could have big implications on the Premiership title. Rangers will play host in this game looking to close the huge gap between them and Celtic. Going into the game, Rangers are second in the standings with 45 points, while Celtic top on 54 points. New Rangers manager Michael Beale has had a dream start to his tenure but here he will have his toughest test, having registered four wins in his first four matches in charge. A win here will keep the title race alive, and coming from a 3-0 win over Motherwell is perfect prep for this task. That was the third time in four matches that they scored three goals and Rangers want to take this run to the derby, being here unbeaten in the last six league games. While they’ve scored in each of the last five home league matches, Rangers will want to do better defensively, coming here with two clean sheets in five league matches at home.
In five straight matches against Rangers, Celtic haven't lost in normal time; they have three wins and their only loss, in extra time, was an FA Cup game. This dominance will build Celtic’s confidence and they will be keen to extend it against their archrivals. They have the stronger run coming into this game, with 12 straight wins in the league and their 4-0 win over Hibernian is a pointer to their dominance this season. That was the fourth game in 10 in which they scored four or more goals, but while they’ve been rampant in attack, Celtic have defensive issues to worry about. They have three clean sheets only in their last 10 league matches but scored 13 in just the last five league games. Wins in each of their last six away league matches will surely build Celtic’s confidence going into this key game. in their September meeting with Rangers, Celtic won 4-0, the first clean sheet against Rangers in four meetings. Both teams have scored in three of their last four meetings.

Our Rangers vs Celtic Prediction
Both these teams have scored in three of the last four meetings. Going into this one, Celtic seems to have the upper hand and their fine scoring run should be enough to stop Rangers’ fine run in recent games. While we expect an away win here, we will also go for both teams to score in the Rangers v Celtic game.
