Horse Racing Celtic vs Rangers Bet Builder Tips: Sunday May 1st
I’ve gone for a Sunday lunchtime bet builder at odds of 9.00, as Celtic play host to Rangers in the final Old Firm clash of the season and with the hosts recently being denied a domestic treble by the visitors, it is not just revenge that is on their mind.
With the Celtic Park outfit currently six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership and with their being just three rounds of the season to go after this one, a win on Sunday would see them take a huge step towards regaining the league crown.
Should Celtic win at the weekend, it will take them nine clear with a trio of league encounters to deal with and if that is the case, even the most ardent of Rangers supporters will eventually wave the white flag.
However, the time for surrender is not yet and after coming out on top in the recent Scottish Cup semi-final, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst and his players will know that Celtic can be beaten when it really matters.
Because this Sunday it really does matter for the Ibrox men and after suffering disappointment in Germany on Thursday evening, their status in this season’s Europa League is now very much in the balance.
A balance that they will look to tilt in their favour next week and if they can overturn the slender 1-0 deficit that they have been handed, a first European final in 14 years will soon await the blue half of Glasgow.

However, that will be the third of three huge clashes in the space of just one week and before a return to European action, they must work out how to deal with the Scottish juggernaut that is their arch-rivals Celtic.
A juggernaut that although that has slowed down ever so slightly in the past couple of weeks, is still pushing the opposition to one side and with momentum being hugely important at this stage of the season, Celtic have that and more.
Not only do they have momentum, but they also are full of confidence and although losing to Rangers just a couple of weeks ago would have hurt, the two recent league reverses over the same opposition will have been worth so much more.
Especially as they enter this Sunday’s clash as champions-elect and when you consider how off the pace Celtic were last season, their transformation under Ange Postecoglou has been nothing short of incredible.
With the Australian already landing the Scottish League Cup before Christmas, now is time to clinch a second piece of silverware and with the hosts priced at 1.85 to earn maximum points this weekend, the inevitable is just around the corner.
While with so much riding on this encounter, there is every right for it to also be a cagey affair. However, that is not usually the case when it comes to Old Firm fixtures and therefore, backing over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.91 also comes recommended.

WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?
A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
