Rangers v Celtic Betting Tips [12 May 2019]
The match
What if the Scottish Premiership destination is already decided! What if this result has no relevance in the grand scheme of things! Celtic vs Rangers is never short of ammunition or objective, irrespective of the season’s permutations and combinations. The ‘Old Firm’ derby will be played out at the Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, with Neil Lennon’s Celtic having already won an eighth successive Scottish Premiership title with a 3-0 win against Aberdeen. Steven Gerrard and his group of Gers will look to spoil the party, though, just like they did in December when they faced Celtic at Ibrox and came out 1-0 winners. Rangers will be buoyed by the fact that they have lost just one of their 18 league matches at this venue this season. Celtic will look to celebrate their title in front of their bitter rivals, although a ‘Guard of honour’ for the Champions is ruled out. There is also the matter of back-to-back matches against the Hearts in the coming weeks, the second of those in the final of the Scottish Cup. Having said that, Celtic are unbeaten in their last 12 league fixtures (W9, D3) and look good to beat any blues.
Key Statistics
- Rangers have lost just one of their 18 Scottish Premiership fixtures at home this season.
- Just one of the last ten matches between these two sides ended in a draw.
- Rangers have kept a clean sheet in each of their last nine home wins, while Celtic have kept a clean sheet in nine of their last ten.
- Both teams scored goals in just two of the last eight H2H matches.
The bet of our experts
Watch out for the referee’s pocket – the three ‘Old Firm’ derbies played this season have seen 16 yellow cards and two red cards, but only five goals. There is every chance that this fixture will also go the same way, in terms of goals. Both teams scoring goals in this fixture has become a rarity and that could be the trend once again this weekend.
