Rangers boss Philippe Clement heads into the second Old Firm derby of the season under intense pressure after watching his side fall 14 points behind Celtic in the title race.
The Belgian must feel fate is conspiring against him, with first-choice keeper Jack Butland ruled out of this must-win clash along with captain James Tavernier and potentially both of his starting centre-backs.
Clement has yet to beat Celtic since replacing Michael Beale at the helm over a year ago and if the champions open up a 17-point lead in the New Year derby it will lead to even more calls for his head.
Rangers vs Celtic top betting tips
With Rangers ravaged by injuries in defence it's no surprise to see them as BoyleSports' 21/10 outsiders, with the Hoops just 20/21 to pile on the pain.
But they say the form book goes out the window in a derby and no Celtic fans will be inside Ibrox as the ticket row between the clubs rumbles on.
So it's probably safer going for goals, especially as these teams treated us to a 3-3 thriller in the League Cup Final just a few weeks ago.
The last derby at Ibrox also ended in the same scoreline so combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals looks decent value at 10/11 with BoyleSports. The same firm also price over 3.5 strikes on its own at 8/5.
This fixture is always fiery and there's added spice with Rangers complaining about the VAR officials in that cup final loss.
Over 67.5 booking points looks good at 11/10 with Betfred but there's more value in backing certain players to go in the book. Celtic's Alistair Johnston always gets stuck in and he's 15/8 at BoyleSports for a card while Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin is 13/10 in the same market.
Dundee v Dundee United top betting tips
There's another derby in the SPFL Premiership today as Dundee host city rivals United in the late game.
The last two meetings have ended in 2-2 draws so it bodes well for another exciting game and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays evens at BoyleSports.
Dundee have lots of injuries in defence and United are in better form, so Jim Goodwin's side look a decent price at 7/5 to win.
I'm expecting a close game though and the half-time draw stands a good chance at 11/10 with BoyleSports.
The card markets are worth a look once more in what should be another fierce encounter. Dundee stopper Ethan Ingram is 13/5 to go in the book while United full-back Will Ferry is a bit bigger at 3/1.
Inter Milan vs Atalanta top betting tips
The Italian Super Coppa is taking place in Riyadh this week and the first semi-final should be a cracker tonight.
Inter Milan and Atalanta are in the midst of a titanic battle for the Serie A title but they can take a break from that high-pressure environment as they face off in Saudi Arabia.
Both teams are in tremendous form, with Atalanta and Inter losing just once in all competitions since September.
That points towards a close game and the half-time draw looks good at 11/10 with BoyleSports.
Inter Milan have won 4-0 in the last two meetings so they should have the edge and Simone Inzaghi's side look worth a punt at 11/10 for a win in 90 minutes.

Like the look of the Dundee derby to a bit fiery. They have the late kick off, sold out, it’s a derby. Dundee have received 2+ cards in 7 out their 9 home games and Dundee Utd have received 2+ cards in every away game this season.
Fancy Sterling again at a decent price for a card. Rangers defence is a mess through injury for this game and can see them coming under serious pressure with every chance Leon king may be thrown in here beside Propper. Sterling will either play RB or RCB and I’d expect him to be up against the pace of Maeda. Whoever starts from Yilmaz and Jefte I’d fancy for a booking as well. Have a feeling Yilmaz will get the nod and can see Celtic exploiting rangers defence today which could lead to a few tussles at that end of the pitch.
Normally avoid the skybet specials as anything the bookies put up as specials tend to have the kiss of death alongside them however at 80/1 I actually don’t think this will be far away and worth a few pennies. 2 derbies and the other 4 games have set up quite nicely to be highly competitive affairs. Same bet comes in at 75/1 at hills with their boost and 25/1 at bet365.
Good luck 🤞
Yilmaz and Jefte both start, Yilmaz in a right back and out of position against Maeda. On him for a booking all day long at 11/4 👍
Hearts v Motherwell 15:00
Over 12 corners 7/4 WilliamHill
This fixture has been good for corners in recent matches. The corner count for the last five H2Hs reads: 15, 16, 21, 14, 17. Hoping the high tally continues this afternoon. Motherwell’s match corner count in their last seven SPL away fixtures averages 14.8: 9, 9, 14, 15, 14, 15, 11, and 17. GL if you follow.
Apologies. Averages at 13, not 14.8
Inter v Atalanta
Rangers v Celtic
both games to be draws at 12/1
best of luck
Liam Scales to score a header 25/1 Hills – big price imo
Celtic and Hibs win double just under 3/1.
Ross Co looks massive at 4/1 at an Aberdeen side on a horror run, or double chance at 23/20.
Good luck 👍
No joy at Ibrox all bets LOSERS

Both players to checkout 120+
4/5 NAP (Sky)
DOBEY

10/11 NB (Sky)
MVG
Match treble
5/1 LS (Sky)
On a side note if Bunting doesn’t bottle it tonight he could cause what would be considered a major upset (even though it wouldn’t really be one) could be an absolute all time classic
NAP and NB winners 5/1 didn’t land because Dobey for all his s**** landed 170
Littler just too good.
