Rangers and Celtic go into their annual New Year battle at Celtic Park once again surprisingly with Celtic as narrow favourites to win what has become a vital game for them. Celtic are a best price to win of 6/4 with VC Bet, while Rangers can be backed to win at 2/1 with Ladbrokes
The two teams last met in early October at Ibrox where Rangers ran out 2-1 winners in a match that proved a big turning point for them. At the time they were struggling behind Celtic in the SPL but that win and a tremendous run thereafter has now put Rangers in a commanding lead in the table; if they can win this match they will go 10 points clear at the top and will have the SPL at their mercy.
Rangers in fact come into the game after recording a huge 7-1 win over Dundee United over Christmas in a match where Kris Boyd scored a record five times where he looked like the best striker in Scotland in the process. Boyd is a reasonable bet to get on the scoresheet in this too, with odds of 13/2 with Skybet to score the first goal. He is also a 12/1 bet to score two or more goals in the match also with Skybet.

Under Tony Mowbray, Celtic have played some attractive football but have also been too inconsistent, losing twice in their last six games. This sort of form has begun to unsettle their magnificent support, so therefore, not only would defeat here virtually end their title aspirations but could also be the first nail in the coffin of Mowbray's stay in charge at the club. Celtic top scorer, Georgios Samaras, however has been playing well and has been finding the net with regularity lately, he looks a worthwhile bet to us at 13/2 to score the opener in this with bet365.
We think that despite the form book that this game has a draw written all over it. A draw has odds of 12/5 also with bet365, but punters might want to consider the following draw outcomes which have better prices:
11/8 Celtic, 15/8 Rangers, 12/5 Draw.
