Celtic Want to Keep on Winning

Celtic FC is without a single loss since March. This year, the Hoops lost only one game overall. The loss in question did not happen against Rangers, their biggest rivals. They’re undefeated against their city rival in the last five duels.

Their undefeated run is even longer when it comes to the Old Firm duels played at Celtic Park. It’s been almost four years since Celtic lost a home game against Rangers. They won each of the last five Celtic vs. Rangers duels at Celtic Park. Two of those were played in 2024, including the Super Cup which happened in May.

Since then, Celtic has a 100% win record in competitive games, winning three games in the Scottish Premiership and one in the Scottish Cup. The best thing is that those wins happened against pretty decent teams, which is proof of just how good this team has been. But are they good enough to thrash Rangers once again?

Rangers Ready for Battle on September 1

In their most recent game, Glasgow Rangers defeated Ross County 6:0. This win came at the right time to give their players a major morale boost ahead of the 2024 Old Firm Derby.

Before that, they kind of struggled against St. Johnstone (2:0), Motherwell (2:1), and Hearts (0:0) in the Premiership, as well as in the Champions League qualifiers against Dynamo Kyiv (0:2 and 1:1).

They’re seen as big underdogs in the 2024 Old Firm Derby, but the fact is that they do have a pretty decent roster this year. Their arguably best player is their captain James Tavernier, who’s a full-back, but they also have some talented forwards, most notably, Rabbi Matondo, Tom Lawrence, and Cyriel Dessers.

Celtic vs. Rangers Prediction

In 2024, Celtic is a better team than Rangers, but this doesn’t mean the hosts will have an easy job on September 1. On the contrary, we expect Rangers to do very well offensively, possibly scoring a goal or two. That said, we do think Celtic will score at least one goal more than them.
