Rangers vs Celtic Bet Builder Tips: Back The Bhoys To Prevail In Old Firm Derby

Ibrox hosts the first Old Firm derby of the season between Rangers and Celtic on Sunday afternoon, and our betting tips for the tie can be backed in a 7/2 bet builder.

Both Rangers and Celtic return to Scottish Premiership action for the first Old Firm derby of the campaign on Sunday fresh off the back of being eliminated from the Champions League.

The Bhoys dropped out of Europe’s top-tier competition after losing on penalties to Kazakhstan Premier League champions Kairat Almaty, while the Gers were battered 9-1 on aggregate by Belgian Pro League outfit Club Brugge. They will now play in the Europa League.

In the league, meanwhile, Celtic have won each of their opening three matches, defeating St Mirren, Aberdeen and Livingston, and sit top of the table as the only team with a 100% record.

Russell Martin’s side, on the other hand, have recorded three consecutive 1-1 draws against Motherwell, Dundee and St Mirren. They currently occupy seventh place in the league table.

The Hoops head into the weekend as favourites with UK betting sites, priced at around 19/20 to prevail. Rangers are rated at around 12/5 to pick up their first three points of the season.

Celtic to Win @ 19/20

Our first tip for Sunday’s Old Firm derby is to back the visitors to come out on top at 19/20.

Celtic have undoubtedly enjoyed a stronger start to the campaign than their city rivals.

Yes, they were eliminated from the Champions League in shocking fashion, but despite the penalty shootout defeat to Kairat, they are yet to lose a game in regular time this term.

Rangers, meanwhile, have won just one of their last six matches in all competitions. Additionally, they have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions.

With pressure mounting on Martin and Sean Dyche favoured in the next Rangers manager odds market, we’re backing Brendan Rodgers’ side to deliver a hammer blow to the Gers on Sunday.

Both Teams to Score – Yes @ 4/9

Up next, we’re backing both teams to score over the course of 90 minutes.

Both Rangers and Celtic have been on the scoresheet in three of their last four meetings across all competitions, including in each of their last two. Their most recent clash ended in a 1-1 draw.

This fixture has a history of throwing up high-scoring results, with several 3-2, 3-3 and 2-1 scorelines in recent years, and we expect a similar scenario to be played out here.

Additionally, both teams have scored in all three of the Gers’ league matches this term.

This selection can be backed with leading UK bookmakers at around 4/9.

Benjamin Nygren to Score or Assist @ 11/10

Since joining from FC Nordsjaelland for an undisclosed fee in the summer, Benjamin Nygren has enjoyed a strong start to life in Glasgow with Celtic.

The Swede, who can operate as a right winger, a striker and a central midfielder, has registered three goals and one assist in his first three appearances in the Scottish Premiership.

This includes a brace in the 3-0 win against Livingston last time out.

Clearly a man in-form and trusted to play in several positions by his manager, Nygren looks to be a strong candidate to register a goal involvement at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.

At a price of 11/10, we’re backing the 24-year-old to register a goal or an assist.
