Still on a high following their League Cup win against Celtic at Ibrox last weekend, Rangers have another opportunity to inflict more woe on Martin O'Neill's side in their Scottish Premiership showdown at Parkhead on Sunday.
The honeymoon period on O'Neill's return to Celtic seems to have come to an end, with the Hoops suffering a 3-0 defeat at Ibrox last weekend, before a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.
Games keep on coming thick and fast for the Hoops and a difficult afternoon might well be in store for the hosts at Parkhead as the latest chapter of the Old Firm derby is written on Sunday.
Celtic v Rangers Tips Summary
Best Bet - Rangers to win @ 2/1
Alternative Bet - Dan Neil anytime goalscorer @ 11/2
Bet Builder - Over 2 total goals, Kevin Kelsy to score or assist, Camilo Duran 2+ shots & Benjamin Nygren to be booked @ 33/4
Celtic v Rangers Prediction
Best Bet: Rangers to win @ 2/1
While Celtic have continued to be the dominant force in the Premiership, winning the title in 14 of the last 15 seasons, their recent record in the league in the Old Firm derby has been nothing to write home about.
Winning one of their last seven league encounters with the Light Blues, victories over Gers in the Premiership have been few and far between.
Rangers have won two of their last three Premiership games at Parkhead and, following last weekend's stunning League Cup win at Ibrox, Derek McInnes' men will be full of confidence going into Sunday’s game.
The fact that Celtic were in action on Thursday night means the Hoops have had less time to recover and with that in mind, Rangers look to be great value for the three points this weekend.
Alternative Bet: Dan Neil anytime goalscorer @ 11/2
The hero at Ibrox last weekend, Rangers midfielder Dan Neil is great value in the anytime goalscorer market for Sunday's showdown in the east end of Glasgow.
Neil was a major threat in the final third of the League Cup clash, picking up space in and around the Celtic box throughout his 86 minutes on the field before being substituted to rapturous applause from the home faithful.
Scoring a brace in that encounter against the Hoops, the 11/2 looks generous for Neil to strike again on Sunday.
Celtic v Rangers Bet Builder Tip
Over 2 total goals
Kevin Kelsy to score or assist
Camilo Duran 2+ shots
Benjamin Nygren to be booked
Pays 33/4
Over two goals have been scored in five of the last six meetings between these rivals in all competitions and that trend is backed to continue in this four-fold Bet Builder.
Kevin Kelsy, who bagged a goal and an assist against the Hoops last weekend, is tipped to score or assist on Sunday, while Celtic's attacking threat Camilo Duran is fancied to have at least two shots in the game.
Duran has already scored six goals for Celtic in all competitions this season and it would be little surprise to see him have at least a couple of efforts at goal.
Finally, Benjamin Nygren was shown a yellow card in the last meeting with Rangers and the Swede is backed to add another card to his collection in this Premiership showdown.
