Rangers welcome champions Celtic to Ibrox at Sunday lunchtime in the final Old Firm of the season in what is effectively a dead rubber for both sides.
Celtic officially clinched the Premiership title at Tannadice last weekend as they thrashed Dundee United 0–5.
With the title now wrapped up and the Scottish League Cup already in the bag, Celtic’s full focus will be on the Scottish Cup final at the end of the month, in which they take on Aberdeen.
Rangers’s winless run in all competitions extended to five matches last weekend, as they drew 2-2 in Paisley against St Mirren on an afternoon where two of my selections cruised in.
What’s more, Barry Ferguson’s hosts are winless in each of their last six fixtures at Ibrox, with their last victory coming against Ross County at the end of February.
How the bookies view it: Hoops backed to heap more Ibrox misery for Gers
BoyleSports make Celtic favourites here, pricing them up at just 4/5.
The same firm has Rangers a massive 23/10 to end their winless run at Ibrox, whilst the draw is 11/4.
Head to head: Two wins apiece this season
The Hoops were victorious in each of the opening two meetings this season, including that penalty shootout success in the League Cup final.
However, The Gers have gone on to win the next, including a comfortable 3-0 victory in their last clash at Ibrox.
Players to watch: Another Hamza Bonanza against Hoops?
Hamza Igamane has scored 11 goals for Rangers in the Premiership this season, including a stunning winner in their 2-3 success at Celtic Park.
Adam Idah came off the bench to score in each of his last two matches, including twice last weekend at Tannadice and may get the nod from the start here.
Probable line-ups
Rangers have a bit of a defensive crisis, with Ridvan Yilmaz, Leon Balogun, Dijon Sterling, and Neraysho Kasanwirjo all out injured.
Celtic confirmed the news that winger Jota will be out for nine months, whilst Alistair Johnston, Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn all missed training on Friday.
Rangers: Kelly, Tavernier, Propper, Souttar, Nsiala, Jefte, Raskin, Diomande, Cerny, Igamane, Dessers
Celtic: Sinisalo, Ralston, Cater-Vickers, Scales, Schlupp, Hatate, McGregor, Engels, Kuhn, Maeda, Idah
Anything else catch the eye?
Goals have been a feature in the meetings between these two Old Firm rivals this season, with the four clashes averaging a whopping 4.25 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in each of them.
Despite their struggles this season, Rangers seem to get up for playing their rivals with no problem, scoring three goals in each of their last three meetings with The Hoops.
Celtic have scored multiple goals in 3/4 of the Old Firm matches this season but are just 6/10 at BoyleSports to bag a double, so the 13/10 on The Gers to score 2+ goals seems better value at 13/10.
