Celtic and Rangers’ respective managerial appointments have had contrasting impacts. Danny Rohl’s arrival at Ibrox, replacing Russell Martin, looks to have salvaged the club’s season. The German has lost only one of his eight games in charge, and Rangers are now firmly in the title race. Brendan Rodgers, on the other hand, is facing increasing scrutiny. Celtic’s form has been patchy, and they’ve been unconvincing in recent performances.
Rangers’ improved defensive structure under Rohl is notably noteworthy. They’ve conceded fewer goals and look much more solid at the back. This makes the Rangers-Draw (Double Chance) at 10/11 a tempting proposition. It covers both a Rangers win and a draw, and given their recent form, they are unlikely to be beaten comfortably at Ibrox.
Historically, Old Firm derbies are often tight and cagey affairs. goals can be at a premium, and both teams are often cautious in their approach. considering Rangers’ defensive improvements and Celtic’s recent struggles in front of goal, backing Under 2.5 goals at 13/10 looks a sensible play. A 1-1 draw or a 1-0 win for either side would see this bet land.
Key Takeaways
- Rangers have significantly improved under new manager Danny Rohl.
- Celtic are experiencing a dip in form and facing criticism.
