Rangers, with a game in hand and a seven point lead over Celtic ‘can put the SPL title to bed’ this weekend with victory in this third Old Firm, SPL clash of the season. Rangers boss, Walter Smith will know that even Celtic could not bridge a potential 13 point deficit which would be the case should Rangers win their game in hand and beat Celtic at Ibrox this week. The Bookmakers, as one would expect has Rangers favourites to win, Boylesports, for instance has them at 5/4, Celtic at 11/5 and the draw at 9/4.
This is the third SPL meeting of the two teams this season, Rangers won at Ibrox at the beginning of October by 2-1, and the two sides fought out a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park in January. We do not think that there will be too much in this game either, but with Celtic including Old Firm debutant, Robbie Keane in their team, they may just have ‘pulled a rabbit out of the hat’ because he has the potential to be a very profound threat to the Rangers defence this Sunday. Keane has already scored three goals in four games for the ‘Hoops’ and looks a good bet to us at 6/1 with Boylesports to score the opening goal and become an early SPL sensation.
Kris Boyd, who is the SPL’s top scorer once again this season cannot be ignored in the First Goalscorer Market in this match either. He has scored a goal a game in his last three outings and looks in great form, he would be a sensible bet at 5/1 to beat Keane in scoring the opening goal.

Calling the result of an Old Firm game is usually an impossible task as often the actual outcome goes against the form, this is simply due to the ‘one off ‘ nature of the game. It is why we are going to go against the grain this time and predict a Celtic win. This may be in more hope than anything else because we think that a Celtic defeat here ends the SPL title chase as a competition. We therefore take Celtic to win the game, probably by the odd goal and would back a score of 2-1 with the exceptional odds of 10/1 offered by Boylesports.
