Celtic Win • 1.96

League leaders and reigning champions Celtic will travel across the Clyde river as they visit arch rivals Rangers, who will host them at Ibrox.
It’s been a hectic few months at Ibrox. The appointment of Steven Gerrard at the end of last season brought a lot of hope to Rangers going into the new campaign. The ex-Liverpool legend has made a wide variety of changes at the club, most noticeably the huge amount of players that were brought to Glasgow over the summer.
It’s been a rocky December for the club. The Gers returned to 2nd place and overtaking Aberdeen in the process, but they still trail Celtic by three points and already having played a game more than the Hoops.
It’s been a fantastic year for Celtic. Brendan Rodgers guided his side to yet another treble following his invincible debut season as the Hoops’ manager, extending the club’s unbeaten run to 69 matches.
Old Firm, there will be a fight, blood, but Celtic will win

Celtic Win • 1.96

Celtic have in the recent years dominated this fixture; they have not lost to Rangers in open play in the last 15 meetings. In the last 15 meetings, Rangers have only beaten Celtic once, on post match penalties in the FA Cup meeting between the sides April 2016. In the last three meetings between the two sides, Celtic have won without conceding a goal but in the most recent one, Rangers posted massive improvement, conceding just one goal. In the earlier three, Celtic had scored three or more, hitting 12 goals while conceding just two. Heading to this match, Rangers are unbeaten in the last four matches and in the 10 matches they have played at home this season, they have managed seven wins and lost just once. They have scored 12 goals in their last five home league matches, only failing to score in one game – the loss to Aberdeen earlier in December. Rangers picked a home draw with Hibernian in the run up to this game and they will hope for a better outcome when they take on a Celtic side that came off Aberdeen with a 4 – 3 away win. It was the first time Celtic have conceded in three matches, and they have scored 10 goals in three matches, netting three or more in the three games. All of Celtic’s losses this season (three) have come away from home and they will be keen to avoid picking a fourth one here, which would place them in an uncomfortable situation in the title race. In 93 meetings, Celtic have 43 wins and Rangers 31.

Celtic or Draw • 1.28

Glasgow sera déchiré entre le Celtic et les Rangers en ce samedi, en plein Boxing Day ! Le Old Firm n’a rien perdu de son allant, mais le rapport de force semble pencher de plus en plus en faveur du Celtic. Ce dernier, meilleur et plus performant sur la scène européenne que son voisin devrait pouvoir maintenir à bonne distance son rival historique.

Celtic Win • 1.96

For sure the visitors are quite fit enough to trash the hosts but it gonna be a little tough for which the hosts are currently the next team in line to the visitors in term of fitness,ambition,positon and so on but the visitors fitness is ultimately dominant over the hosts

Draw • 3.46

By sharing the point of the draw at home Wednesday afternoon, the Rangers are now relegated to 3 points Celtic. Steven Gerrard's players will do everything they can to catch up with Brendan Rodgers, but it will not be easy! For our prognosis, we bet on a draw between the two clubs of the Scottish capital.
