LiontipsRangers vs Celtic. Prediction (odds 2.15) and bets on the match of the Scottish Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Rangers approached the start of the season as title contenders, but were certainly not the favourites in the championship race, given the serious superiority in class of Celtic. Overall, the Jerseys are maintaining their level, but are unable to jump above their heads – Philippe Clement’s team is currently in second place in the table. There is already a 14-point gap from leader Celtic, which will be almost impossible to overcome. Having drawn 2:2 with Motherwell in the last round, Rangers were unable to win the second match in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kasanvirjo and Tavernier are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Rangers have not won in their last two matches – a loss and a draw
- Rangers have conceded goals in four of their last five games.
Tentative line-up: Butland - Sterling, Souttar, Propper, Yilmaz - Raskin, Dowell Diomande, Cortes - Dessers, Danilo.
Current form
Before the start of the season, Celtic were considered the main contenders for the championship title – in terms of player selection, the Celts significantly outperform all opponents. At the start, Aberdeen tried to put pressure on Brendan Rodgers' team, but gradually managed to pull away. At the moment, Celtic leads the table with 50 points and is already 14 points ahead of second-placed Rangers, while third-placed Aberdeen has 16 points less – such a handicap allows one to look to the future with optimism.
Disqualifications and injuries
Forrest is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Celtic are unbeaten in their last 19 matches in all competitions, winning 13 and drawing six.
- Celtic are unbeaten in their last seven games against Rangers, winning five and drawing two.
Tentative line-up: Schmeichel - Vallier, Scales, Carter-Vickers, Johnston - Bernard, Hatate, Engels - Yang, Furuhashi, Kühn.

2.65Tip and bets
Celtic are in great shape, play attacking football and score a lot – in 18 league matches, the Celts have scored 51 goals. Rangers have also been getting a lot of goals in recent matches – Celtic have scored seven goals in the last two derbies. It is obvious that the hosts’ defense will have big problems today, but Rangers must take risks and play only to win – the match will most likely be productive again.
We believe that the match will be productive. Forecast - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on the outcome
Rangers have serious problems even in matches with much less serious opponents - in the last round, the Jerseys snatched a draw from Motherwell with great difficulty. The 14-point gap in the table clearly shows that today Celtic is objectively stronger and more stable, the Celts are in excellent shape and are quite capable of taking all three points.
Bet - Celtic win. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on corners
Celtic are favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking, but Rangers are quite capable of responding at home, there should be plenty of corners.
Bet - total over 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.89
