SlipsTips offers a Bet Builder for the Scottish Cup quarter-final clash between Rangers and Celtic on Sunday.
Rangers vs Celtic, Sunday (13:00)
Rangers and Celtic will face off again just a week after their last meeting when they play at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup quarter-final on Sunday.
Last week, the two Glasgow rivals ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Ibrox, with both teams showing their strengths in different halves of the game.
This weekend, one team will have to prevail, whether in regular time or beyond.
Over 0 Celtic Goals
I’m starting the Bet Builder by backing Celtic to score at least once at Ibrox on Sunday. Martin O’Neill’s team made an impressive comeback last weekend, scoring twice in the second half of the Old Firm derby to level the match, and it could have been more given their missed opportunities. This time, Celtic are unlikely to start slow and are poised to exploit a Rangers defense that has been struggling in recent games.
Rangers’ defense has conceded multiple goals in each of their last three matches across all competitions, so it’s hard to see them keeping Celtic from scoring, especially with a strong away support backing Celtic at Ibrox.
Over 2 Celtic Corners
The next part of the Bet Builder is Celtic achieving at least three corners in the game. Celtic have been leading the Scottish Premiership in corner statistics this season, averaging just under seven corners per game.
In this season’s previous Old Firm encounters, Celtic have won more corners in three of the four matches, including the last three. They’ve earned 14, 8, and 7 corners in the last three derbies respectively, so getting three or more on Sunday seems very achievable.
Julian Araujo To Commit 1+ Foul
The final component of the Bet Builder is Julian Araujo committing at least one foul. The Celtic right-back has proven to be a fierce competitor since joining, having committed a foul in eight out of his nine Scottish Premiership appearances. In those nine games, he faced Rangers twice, committing a total of three fouls, including two at Ibrox last Sunday.
Considering Rangers’ speed and skill on the wings, Araujo is a likely candidate to commit at least one foul in what promises to be a physical cup match.
Combining these selections offers a value even-money play on bet365.
