SEPT 18: RANGERS v CELTIC

 

Ibrox, Sunday, 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports 2

OLD FIRM games are always tough to call – and tomorrow’s is more difficult than usual.

Arguments can be made for both sides. Rangers have financial headaches and so many off-field distractions to deal with while Celtic are playing three days after a Europa League defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Celtic look to have the best squad but Rangers probably have the most impressive first 11. Anyway I can’t split them so I’m going for the draw.

To win Rangers are a biggest 6-4 at Chandler, Ladbrokes and others while Nikica Jelavic is 11-2 with William Hill to hit the opener but the man to back could be Kyle Lafferty at 13-2 (William Hill).

Celtic are a best 2-1 with Ladbrokes and Chandler and 4-7 plus one goal with Betfred.

Only one side has scored in seven of the last 11 meetings of the sides so consider no to both teams to score at 21-10 with Chandler.

And it could be a customary cagey affair with the first goal time after 27 minutes paying 1-1 with Betfred.

It could be a low scorer and under 2.5 goals is 8-11 with Stan James.
