Rangers Glasgow take on the visitors Celtic in the round 21 match of Scottish Premiership. The match will be played on Thursday, January 2nd at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow).
"Rangers Glasgow" are now clearly second in Scottish football. "Light Blues" successfully competed with their neighbor only once, under Gerrard, not allowing them to win the 10th championship title in a row. But soon Steven returned to England, and none of his successors achieved similar success. Including Clement, who lost both the last Premiership draw and the cup final. The new season has not been particularly successful. Here and the early exit from the Champions League qualification, when an optional "red" turned into a home defeat to Kyiv "Dynamo", and a number of losses in the Premiership - now they are ten points behind their eternal competitor. Plus the recent defeat in the League Cup final, when after 3-3 they lost to Schmeichel in a penalty shootout, and the "Celts" took another trophy. And only in the Europa League the club looks good, having lost only once in 6 matches, having collected 11 points. But in the domestic arena they finished the year tough, rarely winning. With Motherwell in the last round there was also only a draw.

Celtic do not lower their level. And after the "golden double" of the last season, the current one is already going well. And even in the Champions League, where the Scots finally look competitive. They lost only to Borussia, though 1-7 in Dortmund. But the rest of the matches allowed them to collect 9 points - more than many giants, so a ticket to the playoffs is almost in the pocket. The aforementioned League Cup has already brought a trophy in the new season, and in the Premiership the club is sweeping everyone, including Rangers, and only in a handful of matches everything ended in a draw. The rest of the matches were won, often, as with St. Johnstone in the last round, and in a crushing manner.
In April, the "light blues" played a draw at home. But then they lost 3 "Old Firm Derby" matches in a row in regular time, and lost on penalties in the recent League Cup. It is not clear what can help the hosts here, even the field factor does not level out the difference in class. We are betting on another victory of the "hoops" over their neighbor.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win.
