There will be fireworks when Rangers and Celtic lock horns in the Old Firm derby at Ibrox. As Celtic do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a 2-1 home win. Rangers have been imperious at home of late, winning each of their last five home fixtures, scoring 4.33 goals per game while conceding just 0.5, and keeping clean sheets in 67% of their home matches. Their overall form shows 2.1 points per game, with an expected goals tally of 2.01, highlighting their attacking threat. The hosts will be without Barron and Cornelius through injury, but the duo should not be sorely missed.
Celtic, meanwhile, have won 60% of their matches overall, scoring 2 goals per game but conceding 1.6, with clean sheets in only 20% of fixtures. The Hoops did well to shock Stuttgart in Thursday's Europa League clash (1-0), but it has to be noted that die Schwaben missed a number of clear-cut opportunities to score. Head-to-head history favors Celtic slightly, but Rangers have been dominant at Ibrox. Defender Auston Trusty banned for Celtic, which definitely goes in favour of our betting angle.
Considering Rangers' excellent home form, especially at home, we predict Home Win, with additional value on Both Teams to Score (Celtic score in 80% of their recent games) and Over 4.5 yellow cards.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 1 March 2026 at 12:00.
