Rangers vs Celtic Prediction & Betting tips
It’s time Old Firm time! On Saturday the Glasgow Rangers and Celtic Town Races meet for the first time this season and for the 409th time ever! With 159 victories, the Glasgow Rangers have now taken eight more than Celtic. But The Bhoys are on the verge of reversing this statistic as soon as possible. On Saturday, they want to get a little closer to this goal with a threesome.
Rangers :
After the return to the Scottish Premiership, the Glasgow Rangers are still not where they were in their best times and where they want to go again. That alone underline the 39 points behind Celtic in the pre-season. There were the Glasgow Rangers only third and then in this season in the first round of the Europa League qualifiers quite blamabel against FC Progres Niederkorn from Luxembourg out. At home, the Rangers did not get a 1-0 win, away from home a sensational 0-2 defeat. The previous appearances in the Premiership, on the other hand, were present.
With three victories, two draws and one defeat, the Glasgow Rangers are currently ranked third and five points behind Celtic. The last weekend, however, the Glasgow Rangers were disappointed when they were unable to get a 2-2 win over Partick Thistle. For Partick, who is in the penultimate position, this was only the second point in the sixth Ligaspiel. Whether the Glasgow Rangers will be able to expand their own points account on Saturday is questionable: Just in the last season the Glasgow Rangers lost five of the six direct duels in league and the two cup competitions.
Celtic :
As a fan of Celtic Glasgow, it’s not easy to get it. Nationally the games are often boring and one-sided, which also became clear again last season when Celtic took the next championship in record time. In the end, The Bhoys had a 31-point lead over Vizemeister Aberdeen. Even in this season, there seems to be no way to pass Celtic Glasgow, because after six games, the champion with five wins and a draw is again the first place. The 1: 1 on the fourth day against the Fourth St. Johnstone may be considered a slip, because in the end the odds ratio 31: 7 was in favor of Celtic. In the shootings on the goal, the champion led 11: 3 after the final whistle.
Why is it hard to find a fan of Celtic? Because international is as good as nothing. That was clear again in the penultimate week, when the group stage of the Champions League PSG was on the first day of the match and Celtic Glasgow in the home stadium was regularly overrun. In the end, PSG won 5-0. On Wednesday, Celtic Glasgow moved to Anderlecht for the first leg in the previous final for third place. A threesome in the town duel would probably be the best preparation.
