Team Analysis
Rangers prepare for this fixture following a 2-2 Premiership drawn result against Motherwell. In that game, Rangers managed 70% possession and 23 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Rangers was Hamza Igamane (50', 68'). On the other side, Motherwell got 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Apostolos Stamatelopoulos (16') and Tawanda Maswanhise (35') scored for Motherwell.

Matches involving Rangers have often been lively encounters recently with a lot of goalmouth action being a real hallmark. Over their past six clashes alone, a total of 21 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game) with 15 of those accredited to Rangers. That trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.

Celtic will go into the meeting after a 4-0 Premiership win with the defeat of St Johnstone in their most recent match. In that game, Celtic had 70% possession and 30 attempts on goal with 11 on target. For Celtic, the scorers were Nicolas Kühn (30'), Kyogo Furuhashi (59', 64') and Daizen Maeda (73'). On the other side, St Johnstone had 1 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target.

A series of resolute displays from the Celtic defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their past 6 clashes in total. During the same period of time, their forwards have scored 11.

Odds Analysis
In our view, Celtic and Rangers won’t have much between them here, and goals could be hard to come by. We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even match with a 0-0 draw at the end of this one.
