Scotland Cup, Final, 25.05.2024
Celtic Glasgow could celebrate their second national double in a row with a win in the final against arch-rivals Glasgow Rangers.
Rangers have been unable to get the results they needed in the final stretch of the season, winning just one of their last three competitive games. My Celtic Glasgow Rangers betting tip is therefore not only aimed at a “Celtic Glasgow win”, which is advertised at Interwetten at odds of 1.90.
The last comparison between Celtic and Rangers took place two weeks ago. Brendan Rodgers and his team prevailed 2:1, which was a kind of preliminary decision in the championship battle.
“The Bhoys dominated proceedings at the time and had not only taken significantly more shots at the final whistle (22:8), but also won the comparison of expected goals by 2.81:1.02 xG.
For the next “Old Firm”, the betting providers without taxes can’t help but put Celtic in the role of favorites again with odds of up to 1.92 to win.

The Glasgow Rangers are sometimes given odds of over 4.00 in the sports betting apps. This is partly due to their current poor form.
“The Gers” have only won one of their last three competitive matches. The really frightening thing about this little misery is the increase in goals conceded.
Coached by Philippe Clement, Rangers had the best defense in the Scottish Premiership for the entire season. Fewer than 30.7 expected goals conceded were to be found nowhere else
In the last three matchdays, however, Rangers have not conceded fewer than two goals in a single game.
In total, “The Gers” have conceded seven goals in these three league matches, which equates to 21.9 percent of the 32 goals they have conceded.
As a result, Celtic Glasgow had no trouble wrapping up their third consecutive championship at the end of the season, boasting the best attack (95 goals) and the best defense (30 goals conceded).
Including the recent 2-1 win on matchday 36, Celtic are unbeaten in four straight meetings at the Old Firm.
The Whites have won three of the last four meetings between the two Scottish top clubs, winning by exactly one goal difference.
Anyone who has saved up a free bet would be well advised to use it on a “Draw (HC 0:1)” and the associated odds of 3.90.
Brendan Rodgers delivered consistently throughout the season with Celtic Glasgow and, unlike their arch-rivals, kept the standard high until the end of the season.
The reigning cup winners have recently won seven competitive games in a row, are unbeaten in eleven competitive games and have never scored fewer than two goals per game during this period
If the record cup winners (41 titles) score “Over 1.5 goals” in the match again, you can expect odds of 1.83. This can be played perfectly with the Betano betting bonus.
On the other hand, Rangers have scored at least two goals in five of their previous six competitive matches and could also be an option for “Over 1.5 goals” in the match.
If both teams have the necessary risk appetite for the final, odds of around 1.82 for “Over 2.5 goals” are definitely an appealing betting option.
However, if this final comes down to which team wins a shootout, I would clearly lean towards Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers has given his team plenty of ideas, which his players have used to score the most expected goals of any team in the league (100.5 xG).
Glasgow Rangers rank second in this category, but are exactly 10.0 expected goals behind (90.5 xG).
In the last comparison, Brendan Rodgers was once again able to rely on his best attacker. Matthew O’Riley (18 goals this season) opened the scoring in the 2:1 victory at the Old Firm.
The Scottish Premiership’s top scorer has collected 31 direct assists this season and is actually a huge threat to opposing defenses in every game
Celtic Glasgow have the better form going into this cup final. Seven competitive wins in a row have boosted the confidence of the Green and Whites, while Rangers have slumped somewhat of late.
Celtic have also come out on top in three of their last four matches and have played by far the best attacking soccer in the Scottish competition.
In other words, my Celtic Glasgow Glasgow Rangers betting tip is: Win Celtic Glasgow
