Celts to Seal First Derby Win in Four

Martin has had a miserable start to life in the Rangers dugout, winning just three of his opening ten league and cup games. The Light Blues were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers in midweek, crashing to an embarrassing 6-0 (9-1 on aggregate) defeat to Club Brugge.

Rangers are still searching for their first league victory of the season, having drawn their opening three. After draws with Motherwell and Dundee, the Teddy Bears were held to a 1-1 stalemate at St Mirren last weekend.

Celtic are already six points clear of Rangers after three wins from three. The champions have beaten St Mirren, Aberdeen, and Livingston, scoring six and conceding none.

However, the Hoops’ spirits were dampened in midweek, as Brendan Rodgers’ men lost in the Champions League qualifying play-offs. After two goalless draws with Kairat Almaty, the Bhoys were beaten on penalties. Both Glasgow clubs will now compete in this season’s UEFA Europa League.

Rangers vs Celtic Betting Odds

Despite being on home turf, Rangers are the underdogs in this Old Firm clash. Martin’s men are priced at 3.50 to stun their fierce rivals. A home win would be a huge result for the Gers.

Apart from the midweek European disappointment, the mood in the Celtic camp going into this derby is excellent. As always, the Celts will fancy their chances of returning to Celtic Park with all three points. The away win is priced at 1.90, while you can get 3.80 for the draw.

Recent Rangers vs Celtic Head-to-Head Meetings

The last meeting between the two finished in a 1-1 draw at Ibrox, with Adam Idah’s goal cancelling out Cyriel Dessers’ first-half opener. The Gers are unbeaten in three (two wins, one draw).

Celtic’s last Old Firm victory in the league came last September, when Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Callum McGregor scored in a 3-0 victory at Celtic Park. The Bhoys have certainly had the better of their neighbours in recent times.

Rangers vs Celtic Betting Tips & Predictions

A home defeat on Sunday could signal an early end to Martin’s reign in the blue half of Glasgow. Unfortunately for Martin & Co., our money is going on Celtic.

This game rarely disappoints, and we fancy the Celtic win and over 3.5 goals at 3.80. Also, the away victory and both teams to score has caught the eye at 2.95.
