Rangers and Celtic meet for the second consecutive Sunday in an eagerly anticipated Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox.
The previous weekend’s 2-2 Premiership draw in Govan was eventful, as the Hoops rallied from a 2-0 deficit to maintain their title aspirations.
While that match ended in a draw, today’s game must have a winner, with the possibility of extra-time and penalties as Glasgow’s major rivals clash again.
Rangers vs Celtic top betting tips
Only three cards were issued last Sunday, but tensions flared post-match, suggesting a more challenging afternoon for officials in this rematch.
Celtic full-back Julian Araujo was central to the post-match confrontation and managed to avoid a booking despite several fouls during the game.
It might be worth backing him to receive a booking today at 11/8 with Bet365, with the same odds for Araujo to commit over 1.5 fouls.
Cup matches between these fierce rivals tend to be more intense than league games, as evidenced by a red card in their League Cup semi-final earlier this season.
Bet365 offers 5/2 for another sending-off today, with an enticing 28/1 for both teams to receive a red card.

Port Vale vs Sunderland
Port Vale hopes to create an FA Cup upset as they host Premier League Sunderland in the fifth round this afternoon.
Jon Brady’s side is at the bottom of the League One table, facing relegation after a disappointing season.
However, the FA Cup has provided some joy, as they defeated Championship side Bristol City in the previous round.
A similar result seems unlikely against the Black Cats, who are focused on a Wembley run with Premier League safety nearly secure.
Sunderland is the strong favorite at 21/50 on Bet365, while a Port Vale victory is priced at 13/2.
Despite Port Vale’s struggles, 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 good bet at even odds with Bet365.
The underdogs should be motivated, making them a good choice for most cards at 20/21.
Fulham vs Southampton
Fulham aims to make an FA Cup impact as they sit comfortably in the middle of the Premier League table.
They enjoy home advantage against Championship side Southampton, with Marco Silva’s team as 11/20 favorites at Bet365.
Southampton arrives at Craven Cottage in excellent form following a nine-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, propelling them into EFL Championship play-off contention, though they may prioritize promotion.
Southampton’s recent defensive struggles, with only one clean sheet in their last five, could allow Fulham’s attackers opportunities. A home win combined with over 2.5 goals is offered at 21/20 with Bet365.
Fulham’s past four games have all seen double-digit corner totals. Their recent 11-1 corner count against Stoke in the last round makes over 10 corners appealing at 11/10 with Bet365, which also offers Fulham -2 at 10/11 in the corner handicap.
