Rangers and Celtic meet for a fifth time this season in the Scottish Cup semi-final this afternoon (KO 1.30pm) and it’s Ange Postecoglou’s all-conquering Hoops that have had the upper hand, winning three and drawing the other so far.
But the Gers have knocked Celtic out of the last two editions of the competition and are the only side to have beaten them in the Scottish Cup since 2015.
Michael Beale’s sides’ last two performances against Celtic will give them some hope that they can cause Celtic problems but they’ve come off second best even when the Bhoys have been a bit below par.
Postecoglou has been boosted by the return of Reo Hatate and Jota to training this week. Both have been key men in this fixture and their inclusion could be significant. Rangers could also gamble on the fitness of defender Connor Goldson who has been missed in their defence.
Celtic have scored two or more in all four meetings this season and Kyogo Furuhashi has helped himself to five goals against their Glasgow rivals. The Japanese hitman is 3/1 to open the scoring or 4/5 to score anytime.
James Tavernier scored twice on Rangers' recent visit to Celtic Park and the Gers' penalty-taker looks over-priced at 10/3 to score compared to some others in the market. Willie Collum is the man on the whistle and he loves a penalty so the Light Blues' captain could be on the spot again.
Having been as big as 13/10 earlier in the week Celtic have been backed in to 21/20 to win inside 90 minutes and that feels about right on the neutral turf at Hampden. Rangers are 12/5 to win and 5/4 to qualify.
The Celts have the greater quality in their squad and if they turn in a performance they're capable of they should win.
Man City might be 1/14 to win the Premier League but they still have some work to do and a win today would take them top of the table for the first time since the middle of February.
Pep Guardiola's side have a hectic schedule coming up with eight games in May ahead of two potential finals in June so at some point the Spaniard may choose to utilise his squad. Today could an opportunity to rotate at Fulham who look destined for a mid-table finish.
It's getting harder and harder to find a betting angle on City's matches, even Haaland is just 4/9 to score so combine them another couple of shorties from the Premier League today…
Spurs showed some fighting qualities to come back from two goals down and earn a point against Man Utd but could find the going tough at Liverpool today, as usual.
They’ve won just two of their last 35 league visits to Anfield and travel there winless in their last five away matches in the Premier League. The Reds are 1/2 to win today which would see them leapfrog Spurs in the table.
Southampton look doomed at the bottom of the table. Winless in eight it's hard to see them get anything in Newcastle this afternoon. But for a blip against Villa, the Magpies have been in stunning form and should rack up a few goals this afternoon.
They've scored 17 in their last five and look very dangerous going forward at the moment. Over 2.5 goals for the home side appeals at 6/5.

Most importantly hope all the Bigoted Glory Hunting Trash from both sides keep their battles in Glasgow..
We don,t want any battles, domestics, etc, that are miles away from all this. on our doorstep..
#supportyourlocalteam..
Well isnt wee boabee a wee degenerate….
Glory hunting trash? The biggest fallacy known too man because It is said by a supporter of a club that takes 15/20,000 to a day out at Hampden once a decade but only gets 4/5,000 average home attendance… don’t talk to me about glory hunters ya absolute balloon
PS sectarianism isn’t exclusive too Glasgow 🤡
Wow. smokeyjoe posts about something members are not interested in and takes offence when someone calls him and his team out!
1. How do you know what members are interestd in weeguy?
2. Would you not take offence if someone called you “gloryhunting trash”?
Its just sour plumbs but to be expected when one team is so dominant for so long, but that doesnt excuse it.
Lets get back to tipping lads 👍 HH
Calls me and my team out on what exactly?
Other than unsubstantiated claims about being a bigot because of the team I support and domestic violence having anything at all to do with football nevermind blaming Celtic or Rangers for domestic abuse.
Anyone who is willing to use domestic abuse to score points in a football discussion and you having more of a problem of mentioning a treble than the domestic abuse reference says more about your moral compass than mine
Trot on weeguy
I’ll say again this is a betting site, I dont care who wins this or that. Post bets.

Small punt on juventus to beat bologna away from home 21/20 👍
Finished 1-1 👎
Smokey Joe just to clarify i have no interest in either of the top 2 top teams in Scotland, i get as a 66 year more satisfaction in what i can do in my sport , as opposed to than praising the team i support ., or i tipped this an that ,but what i find strange at times is how people show their allegiance their clubs at times on a betting site ..
Anyroads , heres hoping Dundee lift the pot on Friday night , need this up the road with The Pars , 13 /8 and 11/4 , 2 singles and a wee dooble…
It’s not as strange as someone banging on about how many miles they have run or are going to run, on a tipping site i might add, each to their own.

but i thot this was a site for praising yourself , so i thot i would i join in, bearing in mind i don,t post every day.,
strange how you got yourself into the conversation, tho..
I wasn’t going to comment at all but when you said it was strange people going on about their teams, football is the main topic on this thread, tips on that particular sport. Not sure where your coming from with this praise thing.
scratching my head , how you got into the conversation. on the original topic of the Auld Firm ??
touched a nerve did I. ???
Touched a nerve in what way. it’s a football thread.
i think you know exactly what i mean on the praise thing, if you praise yourself on others peoples efforts on betting matters , and acknowledge accordingly , then when criticism comes along then stop whinging about it ,
Fly with the crows , then be prepared to be shot…
Where have i praised myself, i don’t need any praise. All i’m bothered about is making money/or trying to no praise needed here.
