Rangers vs Celtic Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and prediction

Rangers and Celtic meet for the first time this season with both sides looking to maintain their 100 per cent records.

The Hoops have amassed 15 goals in their three fixtures this term and hit a further four against AIK on Thursday to reach the Europa League group stage.

Steven Gerrard’s men have also been in fine goalscoring form, netting nine in the Scottish Premiership so far, although they needed a 91st-minute winner to guarantee their place in the Europa League at the expense of Legia Warsaw.

bet365 price Rangers as 13/10 (2.30) favourites to make it three home wins in a row over their bitter rivals, following on from their respective 1-0 and 2-0 successes last season.

It is 21/10 (3.10) that Celtic win at Ibrox for the first time since March 2018, whilst a draw – which has not happened in this fixture at this ground since 2011 – is available at 11/5 (3.20).

Rangers vs Celtic team News

Kristoffer Ajer is a major doubt for Celtic after limping off during the win over AIK, although Odsonne Edouard should be fit despite also going off during that clash.

Alfredo Morelos scored the injury-time winner against Legia Warsaw on Thursday and will be pushing for just his second league start of the season on Sunday.

Rangers vs Celtic preview

Both teams were in action on Thursday night but that is unlikely to have much ill-effect on either Glasgow side come Sunday.

Indeed, with more than just three points on the line, Rangers and Celtic will both be determined to make strong starts in the first of four Premiership Old Firms this season.

There has been a goal scored by the home side in the first half in six of the last seven times these sides have played each other in all competitions, with the hosts leading at the break on five of those occasions.

Rangers vs Celtic tips and prediction

Rangers are priced at 11/10 (2.10) to score in the opening 45 minutes, as they have done in the last three Old Firm derbies at Ibrox and in nine of their last 12 home games.

Also of interest could be the 21/10 (3.10) on Rangers to lead at the break, whilst both teams to score in the first half may offer some value at 7/2 (4.50).

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
