Bet up to £30 risk free on Rangers winning
Celtic head into the second Old Firm derby of the season sitting top of the SPL but don't be fooled - Rangers are worthy and arguably generously priced favourites to take three points again at [2.1].
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £30 on this match or anything else that catches your eye within seven days of signing up and any losing wagers will be refunded, so there's no absolutely no risk involved.
The Gers showed that there is no danger of them being intimidated by Celtic's form heading to a collision by ending Neil Lennon's perfect record of 16 successive SPL victories as a manager with a 3-1 triumph at Parkhead in October and the Bhoys aren't really at that level right now.
The main reason that they are leading the way at the start of 2011 is that they have played two games more than their fiercest rivals having been in action three times in the 12 days building up to this encounter, whereas the weather means that Rangers have only had to play once.
Celtic have hardly been flying, drawing three of their last five fixtures, all of which were at home. Last season's runners-up improved to beat St Johnstone 2-0 and Motherwell 1-0, the latter success hardly emphatic given the Steelmen's struggles since losing Craig Brown to Aberdeen. It's yet to be confirmed whether imminent signing Freddie Ljungberg will be available in time.
Rangers have won the last three derbies at Ibrox and have come out on top in all bar three of their 16 SPL games in this campaign, so [2.1] really is a tempting price, though an equally appealing option for a loss-proof wager when the market materialises is for Kenny Miller to score at any time.
The one-time Celtic striker is currently third in the European Golden Shoe standings having netted 21 league goals already and he has struck five times in his last four appearances against the Bhoys.
