Betting Preview: Latest Results and Roster Updates
Rangers FC
Rangers currently sit second in the Scottish Premiership with 73 points from 30 matches. They are just one point behind the leader, Celtic, but have played one less game than the Hoops due to their postponed fixture with Dundee before the International break.
Benfica recently eliminated The Teddy Bears from round 16 of the UEFA Europa League after losing 3-2 on aggregate. Rangers, however, bounced back in their last league match with a 3-1 victory over Hibernian. Heading into this clash, they have 24 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses in 30 games. A win puts them two points above Celtic with a game in hand.
Rıdvan Yılmaz is the latest name on Ranger’s injury list, joining Ryan Jack, Óscar Cortés, Kieran Dowell, and Danilo Pereira in the treatment room.
Celtic FC
Scotland’s reigning champions, Celtic, lead the Scottish Premiership with 74 points after 31 games. The Hoops are a dominant force in this league, having won 11 SPL titles in the last 12 seasons.
They progressed to the Scottish Cup Semi-Final earlier in the month after beating Livingston by 4-2. Celtic also defeated Livingston by 3-0 last weekend. The Hoops reclaimed the top spot with this win, though Rangers could still grab the top position if they defeat Dundee in their outstanding fixture.
Hyun-Jun Yang will return to the squad after completing his red card ban. Celtic’s injured players include Liam Scales, Adam Montgomery, Luis Palma, and Callum McGregor.

Celtic has dominated the Scottish Premiership for the past decade, winning nine out of ten titles. They are on course for their 3rd consecutive SPL title this season by displaying unrelenting effort each week. Celtic has won 10 of their last 13 matches across all competitions. The Hoops have dominated this fixture recently, winning five of their last six meetings with Rangers. They’ve won three of their last four matches at the Ibrox Stadium.
Although Rangers also enjoy brilliant form, their struggles in this fixture suggest they won’t get the better of Celtic in this contest. So, we expect Celtic to win or at least get a draw, which means a refund for this option on all the top bet mobile app platforms.

Both teams have the highest scoring record in the league, with Celtic scoring 74 while Rangers have netted 67 already this season. A record of over 2.5 goals has persisted in all of Rangers’ previous eight league matches. Similarly, Celtic have recorded more than two goals in five of their last seven league games. These trends behind the fact that both teams scored three goals last weekend indicate this could be a high-scoring affair. Most Rangers vs Celtic betting predictions support this outcome.
James Tavernier To Score Anytime @ 3.60 (13/5)

James Tavernier has added goals to his task as a defender for Rangers this season. He’s the leading goal scorer for the Teddy Bears this season with 15 league goals. Tavanier has scored five in his last five league appearances. The right-back’s volley in Saturday’s victory against Hibernian made him the British football’s highest-scoring defender with 131 goals, surpassing Graham Alexander and Steve Bruce. With this excellent scoring form and considering he’s the team’s penalty taker, he is in a prime position to score in this encounter on Sunday.
