Celtic vs Rangers 02.02.2022

It’s a two-horse race once again between these two Old Firm rivals as they battle it out for the Scotland top-flight title.

Unlike last season when Celtic were nowhere near Rangers who literally strolled through to win the title, this time around they are right in the thick of it, sitting in 2nd place on the log, just two points behind the leaders

Rangers meantime are looking to defend the title. They top the league with 56 points. They have looked a bit shaky in the last couple of weeks with two draws in their last three league games allowing the hosts to close the gap on them to just two points.

We expect a closely contested game here given the stakes here. We feel the two teams will cancel each other out and we are backing them to be all square when all is said and done.
