SHOCKING NEWS:Celtic vs Rangers Scottish Premiership match kick-off time has been rescheduled due to…

CELTIC and Rangers meet in a day of destiny at Saturday lunchtime and it’s time to batten down the hatches.

With three games to go, champions Celtic have home advantage, no away fans, a three points lead and a superior goal difference going into this and a win would effectively secure the title.

Brendan Rodgers’ men also have a number of advantages over their rivals – they are in better form having won five of their last six games – and they appear to have something of the Indian sign over Rangers when it comes to these big games.

They ended up cruising to a win against third placed Hearts last week and although Rangers also won the next day against Kilmarnock, it might have been different had Killie not been reduced to ten men when they were a goal up.

Ibrox boss Philippe Clement bit at Rodgers’ prediction that they would ‘have some fun’ this week. Whether the Belgian can use those words as motivation for his squad will be the crux of the matter here.

Rangers realistically not only need to win, but do it by a couple of goals for the goal difference too if they want to win the Premiership and that’s a huge ask at Parkhead.

How the bookies view it: Celtic being backed

Celtic started the week odds-against, but that’s gone and the 19/20 on offer from Betfred is the closest you can get to evens at present.

Rangers can be backed at 3/1 with bet365 and the draw is 14/5 with McBookie.com.

Recent head to heads: Celtic on top

Celtic have already won home and away and were within seconds of making it a clean sweep in the last game at Ibrox with Rangers netting late on to make it 3-3.

Rangers haven’t won at Parkhead on their last six visits.
