Scottish Premier Division: Celtic vs Rangers Odds and Betting Preview

GLASGOW, UK - One point in the table and one of the fiercest footballing rivalries in the world separates the two Glasgow clubs as they go head-to-head this evening at Celtic Park. Celtic have home advantage and are favourites to win the game with the bookies, priced at 11/10 (bet £10 to win £11) with Coral, Sky Bet and Bet365. Rangers will desperately want to avoid defeat for, amongst many other reasons, maintain or extend their one-point lead at the top, and the Gers are 10/3 with Blue Square to snatch a huge away win. Punters can back the draw at a top price of 12/5 with Boylesports.

Celtic are certainly the in-form team in the league, with 8 wins from the last 8 league games, while Rangers lost disappointingly on Christmas Eve 2-1 away to St Mirren. Celtic are 1/2 with Sky Bet to win with a draw no bet which may be a more worthwhile bet than the outright market. Rangers are best at 7/4 with Stan James and William Hill, amongst others, to win with a draw no bet.

Celtic have the best home defence in the league, with clean sheets in 50% of their home games, and another Celtic clean sheet is 13/8 with Coral, while you can get on Celtic to win to nil at 5/2 with both Paddy Power and Sky Bet. Rangers however, have the best away attack in the league, failing to score in a mere 10% of their away games, and you can get on both teams to score at 10/11, a top price with William Hill.

Nikica Jelavic, Rangers' Bosnian-Croat striker is the at the top of the top scorers table for the division, and he is best at 2/1 with Coral to score anytime and 13/2 with Blue Square and William Hill to open the scoring in the game. Celtic's Gary Hooper has only one goal less than Jelavic this season, and the English striker is priced at 5/1 by most bookies, such as Victor Chandler and Stan James to score first, and a top price of 13/8 with Boylesports to score anytime.

The Old Firm derbies are invariably feisty affairs, especially given the managers Ally McCoist and Neil Lennon are Rangers and Celtic through and through. William Hill are offering a top price of 2/1 that there is a red card in the game, while you can get 8/15 on Betfair for no red cards.

The match kicks off at 1945 GMT and is live on SkySports.
