Kris Boyd predicts scoreline of Rangers clash v Celtic, says who will win
Kris Boyd has predicted that Rangers will beat Celtic in the Old Firm derby at Parkhead on Saturday afternoon.
Steven Gerrard’s men will make their way across Glasgow to Parkhead this weekend in search of a vital three points that could see them move four points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
Ahead of the match, Boyd, Andy Walker and Ian Crocker have all shared their predictions for the match.
Ex-Rangers striker Boyd is confident of a victory, tipping the Light Blues to win 2-0.
As quoted on the Sky Sports website, he simply said: “I think Rangers will win.”
Former Celtic player Walker predicts the match to end as a 2-2 draw. He said: “I think there will be goals. I cannot separate them; they are both playing good football.”
Crocker also refused to name a winner with the commentator expecting a 1-1 draw: “I’ve spent 22 years sitting on the fence in Glasgow and I’m not shifting.”
Out of the three pundits, one win for Rangers and two draws is something we will take.
While Walker is predicting the match to end as a draw, he’s right in saying that there should be plenty of goals but let’s hope those goals are in Rangers’ favour.
Gerrard’s defence has been a force to be reckoned with so far this season with Hibernian the only team to score against them in the Scottish Premiership as the goal conceded at Motherwell was an own goal by George Edmundson.
Celtic could also be without Ryan Christie and Odsonned Edouard for the match, which severely reduces their firepower.
We’re not going to be say something that will come back to haunt us but we’re feeling very confident about this Old Firm match.
Perhaps more confident than we have been since returning to the top-flight.
