Rangers F.C. welcome the visitors Celtic F.C. in the Scottish Premiership – Round 21. The match will be held on Saturday, December 29th, at the Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow).
The appointment of Steven Gerard to the post of Rangers F.C.’s manager can hardly change anything. The Saturday opponents have already met in the fourth round. Celtic F.C. won with the scoreline of 1:0 that time. Now it’s not the best time for the hosts to compete in the derby. Rangers have dropped out from the European competitions, winning in two matches of six only. They failed to beat Kilmarnock F.C. and Aberdeen F.C. at home, scoring no goal in those encounters. How can this team surprise Celtic, having such a record? They may only demonstrate their commitment on the pitch, but it won’t be enough anyways.

In this campaign, Celtic do not boast that great breakaway that they had in previous leagues. They don’t boast so far. The team will surely breakaway from the opponents along the way and will take the gold medals again. Celtic were victorious in two latest rounds, but those were home wins. Their pursuers Aberdeen and Rangers are running too close behind them. Three away defeats is a lot. Another thing is that the champion still score much and will play first even in the match against Rangers.
The coming match is more than just a historic derby. The Old Firm sees more Celtic’s wins lately. The guests won in twelve of fifteen latest head-to-heads. Rangers have lost in five successive rounds at their arena. Typically, bookies offer the over two odds on Celtic’s victory. The ‘Celts’ have had three shutout wins over Rangers. Though the guests’ away performance is not great (the team take the sixth line by a number of points got in outings, and they lost yet three times away), no one doubts their motivation at the Ibrox Stadium. Their another win is expected there. Under the stewardship of Brendan Rodgers, Celtic got even more stronger; good performers сontributed to the team. They show vivid attacking football outclassing the opponent. Rangers’ squad are by no means better than the guests’. This derby will see enough yellow cards, and we may play on it.
Prediction for the match: Celtic F.C. to win away.
