Football Bet of the Day: Gers Must Pick Themselves Up From Old Firm Defeat

After making it four successive winners at Chesterfield on Monday, The second Football Bet of the Day of 2024 sees me head to the Scottish Premiership, and I’ve come up with a bet builder featuring one of the matches.

⚽️ Rangers vs Kilmarnock

⏰ Tuesday 2nd January, 15:00

Rangers will look to bounce back from their controversial defeat at Celtic Park as they welcome Kilmarnock to Ibrox, and I’ve come up with a bet builder.

Phillipe Clement tasted defeat for the first time since taking over as Rangers boss, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to bitter-rivals Celtic. Nevertheless, it still has been a positive start to the Belgian’s tenure, with him already getting a League Cup trophy under his belt, as well as securing top spot in their Europa League group. However, The Gers are now eight points behind Celtic in the table – albeit with two games in hand – but can ill afford to drop more points against their in-form visitors.

Kilmarnock would’ve been frustrated not to secure a fifth league victory across their last six Premiership outings, as they conceded in the 95th minute to draw 2-2 at home to Dundee. Nevertheless, it’s six unbeaten for Derek McInnes’ side (W4-D2-L0), with them now sitting 4th in the Scottish Premiership table, just two points behind 3rd-placed Hearts. However, Killie do tend to do most of their best work at home, with just 10 of their 31 points arriving on their travels (W2-D4-L4).

Bet of the Day

Prior to their Old Firm defeat, Phillipe Clement had won nine of his opening 10 Scottish Premiership matches in charge, and whilst Killie arrive to Govan in good form, Rangers should be strong enough to secure all three points.

To nudge the price up, I’m happy to back the hosts to grab five or more corners and the visitors to pick up two or more cards. The Teddy Bears have earned five or more corners in 17/19 (89%) of their Scottish Premiership matches whilst also drawing multiple cards from 13 of their last 15 league opponents, whilst Killie have picked up two or more cards in 7/10 (70%) of their road trips.
