In an eagerly awaited Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox, Rangers and Celtic face off for the second consecutive Sunday.
The previous weekend’s Premiership match in Govan ended in an exciting 2-2 draw, with Celtic fighting back from a 2-0 deficit to keep their title hopes alive.
This time, a winner must be determined, potentially requiring extra-time and penalties, as the two Glasgow giants clash once again.
Rangers vs Celtic top betting tips
While only three cards were shown last Sunday, post-match tensions indicate a tougher challenge for officials in this rematch.
Celtic full-back Julian Araujo played a central role in the post-match altercation, escaping a booking despite multiple fouls during the game.
Consider betting on him to receive a card today at 11/8 with Bet365, with the same odds for Araujo to commit over 1.5 fouls.
Matches between these fierce rivals tend to be more intense in cup settings, as demonstrated by a red card in their League Cup semi-final earlier this season.
Bet365 offers 5/2 odds for another sending-off today, and an enticing 28/1 for both teams to receive a red card.

Port Vale vs Sunderland
Port Vale aims for an FA Cup upset as they host Premier League Sunderland in the fifth round this afternoon.
Jon Brady’s team sits at the bottom of the League One table, facing relegation after a disappointing season.
Despite their league struggles, they found some joy in the FA Cup by defeating Championship side Bristol City in the previous round.
A similar result against the Black Cats seems unlikely, as Sunderland is focused on a Wembley run with Premier League safety nearly assured.
Sunderland stands as the strong favorite at 21/50 on Bet365, while a Port Vale victory is priced at 13/2.
Despite Port Vale’s challenges, they haven’t conceded more than one goal in their last four matches, suggesting a Sunderland win with under 3.5 goals could be a viable bet at even odds with Bet365.
The underdogs should be motivated, making them a good pick for most cards at 20/21.
Fulham vs Southampton
Fulham seeks to make an FA Cup impact as they comfortably sit mid-table in the Premier League.
With home advantage against Championship side Southampton, Marco Silva’s team is an 11/20 favorite at Bet365.
Southampton arrives at Craven Cottage in excellent form after a nine-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, pushing them into EFL Championship play-off contention. However, their primary focus may be on promotion.
Southampton’s recent defensive woes, with only one clean sheet in their last five matches, could give Fulham’s attackers opportunities. A home win with over 2.5 goals is available at 21/20 with Bet365.
Fulham’s last four games have all seen double-digit corner totals. Their recent 11-1 corner count against Stoke in the previous round makes over 10 corners enticing at 11/10 with Bet365, which also offers Fulham -2 at 10/11 in the corner handicap.
