Paddy Power Pays Out on All Outright Bets on Celtic Winning the Scottish Premiership

Celtic FC’s success in the Scottish Premiership has convinced Paddy Power to pay out any outrights on Celtic as a winner. While the new Premiership season started this weekend, the operator is already convinced that Celtic will reign supreme.

Before the seasons started, Celtic was а -225 favorite to win the tournament. In just one game, the soccer team sent a strong message, highlighting its unwillingness to relinquish its champion’s status.

Celtic, for context, plowed Kilmarnock under in their opening game, defeating the East Ayrshire team with a spectacular 4-0 result. As the likes of Anthony Ralston, Liam Scales, Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn and Reo Hatate scored goals, Paddy Power became convinced that Celtic would take the champion’s title for the 55^th time.

In an official release, Paddy Power congratulated Celtic on “job well done” and confirmed that it has decided to pay out on all outright bets on Celtic winning the title.

And with a two-point cushion in the bag, we’ve seen enough – Celtic are champions of Scotland for the 55th time.

Rangers Are Bullish on Defeating Their Rivals

On X, Paddy Power shared a video of Celtic boss Brendan Rogers laughing, further highlighting Celtic FC’s early triumph.

While the Scottish Premiership will continue, Celtic’s momentum shows that the club remains a force to be reckoned with. However, a Rangers fan page begged to disagree and told Paddy Power that it is “going to look fairly stupid when Rangers win the league title.”

Speaking of the Rangers, the club started its season with a 0-0 tie against Hearts, failing to deliver on their fan page’s promise, at least for now.

Celtic, on the other hand, defeated Rangers in the previous edition of the event, beating them by eight points. However, the Rangers are still a team that should not be underestimated, and they could potentially make a comeback in the latest edition of the tournament.

As major sporting events continue to rage on, British operators expect record-breaking growth. The concurrent timing of Euro 2024 and Royal Ascot provided operators with a huge boost as it led to a spike in wagering activity.
