Rangers vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Daniel Ngulu in Scottish Premiership Predictions
The first Old Firm derby of the season is on this weekend, with Rangers hosting Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday. Going into the game, Celtic have taken an early lead in the standings while Rangers are fourth. It is already unfolding as a tough season for Rangers with a couple of uninspiring results. The most recent was their 5-1 thrashing by PSV and subsequent elimination from the Champions League. At the start of the season, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock and they have just two clean sheets in eight matches. Three of their last four matches have had over 2.5 goals and four of five have had both teams scoring. In the last meeting between these two sides, Rangers emerged winners, but by then Celtic had wrapped up the league title.
Celtic have three wins in the last four meetings with Rangers and will hope to extend that here. They haven't played as many games so far as Rangers but their recent outings haven't been very fruitful. Celtic have no win, or goals in the last two matches. Their season started with two straight wins, against Ross County and Aberdeen. However, they would suffer elimination from the League Cup at the hands of Kilmarnock, losing 1-0. Soon after, they played to a 0-0 draw with St. Johnstone in the Premiership. That happens to be their only clean sheet in their four matches this season. Both teams have scored in two of Celtic’s four matches.
