Celtic vs Rangers prediction and betting tips - May 11, 2024
The pivotal match of the 36th round of the Scottish Championship will take place on Saturday in Glasgow, where local Celtic will host Rangers at "Celtic Park". Here's the forecast for this match from the Dailysports team.
Celtic
The "Celts" currently lead the league table, but the battle for the championship title is fierce. Celtic capitalized on Rangers' recent stumbles and overtook their main rival. At the moment, the "Celts" lead Rangers by three points, while a 21-point gap separates them from the third-placed team. Last weekend, Celtic hosted Hearts in a home match, securing a convincing 3-0 victory. Forward Kyogo Furuhashi scored a brace, while the third goal came from Matt O'Riley's penalty. Celtic has been unbeaten for six consecutive rounds, securing five victories in this stretch. At their home ground, the "Celts" have suffered only one defeat in the current season, securing 13 victories in total.
Rangers
The "Gers" are traditionally in the race for gold with Celtic. Currently, Celtic leads Phillip Cleman's team by three points. However, it's worth noting that Celtic's recent results have been noticeably better than Rangers'. Not long ago, the "Teddy Bears" were leading the championship, but a disappointing streak of three matches without a win led to Celtic taking the top spot. In particular, in the last round, Rangers hosted Kilmarnock and secured a comfortable 4-1 victory. Prior to that, the "Light Blues" defeated St. Mirren 2-1 away. Regarding their away performances, Rangers have suffered only three defeats in 17 matches, securing 12 victories.
