It's the first Old Firm clash of the season today, with both Rangers and Celtic looking to bounce back from painful defeats in Europe.

The Hoops bowed out of the Champions League after failing to score across two legs against Kazakh minnows Kairat while Rangers lost their play-off with Club Brugge 9-1 aggregate.

Plenty of fans wanted Russell Martin sacked after Wednesday's 6-0 loss in Belgium and the pressure will only intensify if Rangers lose at Ibrox today and fall nine points behind their rivals in the SPFL Premiership.

Rangers vs Celtic top betting tips

Rangers have been a mess since Martin took over and have only played well in one of his 10 games in charge – the 3-0 Ibrox win over Viktoria Plzen.

They are giving opponents so many sights of goal so all logic seems to point towards a Celtic win today, with BoyleSports making the Hoops 20/21 favourites.

But Celtic are in poor shape too, with their attack looking particularly lightweight without major reinforcements this summer. Brendan Rodgers' side also haven't beaten Rangers inside 90 minutes in the last four meetings and could be leggy after a 7000-mile round trip to Almaty in midweek.

It's better staying away from backing a result therefore and player bets offer the best value for punters.

Rangers left-back Jayden Meghoma is tasting this fixture for the first time and new boys often get caught up in the chaos of the occasion. He was booked in Brugge on Wednesday and is 12/5 at BoyleSports for another card here.

Anthony Ralston is Celtic's only fit senior right-back just now and should shake off a knock to start. He loves a tackle and looks great value at 5/4 with Bet365 to commit over 1.5 fouls.

Liverpool vs Arsenal

Premier League champions Liverpool have looked a little shaky so far in their title defence and will be given a major test this afternoon when Arsenal come to Anfield.

Arne Slot's side have started with wins over Bournemouth and Newcastle but they conceded two goals in both games, after also drawing 2-2 with Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.

The Gunners crushed Leeds 5-0 in their last outing after an unconvincing 1-0 win at Old Trafford in their Premier League opener. They are weakened by the loss of Bukayo Saka to injury but still have enough talent in attack to ask more questions of Liverpool's creaking defence.

Games between title rivals can often be cagey but I've a feeling this one should be pretty open and I like the 10/11 on offer at Bet365 for Liverpool keeper Alisson to make over 2.5 saves. Doubling that up with the same bet for opposite number David Raya takes you to 21/10.

Liverpool's big-money signing Florian Wirtz has been pretty quiet so far, failing to provide a goal or assist in his first two league games. The German is too good a player not to start making an impact and he's 11/8 to either score or set one up today.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester City

It looked like Manchester City were back after battering Wolves 4-0 in their Premier League opener but they followed it up with a poor display last weekend as they lost 2-0 at home to Spurs.

The same failings that ruined last season's title defence were on show at the Etihad with defensive mistakes costing Pep Guardiola's side dear.

City now head to Brighton today and the Seagulls haven't made a great start, picking up just one point from games with Fulham and Everton.

The lack of a cutting edge cost them against the Toffees, with striker Danny Welbeck having a particularly bad day in front of goal as he missed a penalty.

So I fancy City for a win today at 10/11 and you can boost their odds to 6/5 by adding on over 1.5 match goals.

Erling Haaland scored a double on City's last away day and the big Norwegian could offer a bit of value at evens for over 1.5 shots on target.
