Derek McInnes to be in hysterics at Rangers supercomputer prediction vs Celtic - it makes zero sense

Derek McInnes will surely be confident as Rangers face Celtic at Parkhead on Sunday.

The Gers dominated the Hoops 3-0 in the previous fixture at Ibrox, qualifying for the semi-finals of the Premier Sports Cup.

With fans set to witness a second Old Firm derby within a week, all eyes will be on Martin O'Neill on 20 September.

After being demolished at Ibrox, Celtic welcomed Ferencvaros to Parkhead and were beaten 3-1 in their first Europa League league phase fixture.

The Hoops are going through a rough spell and it has coincided with McInnes finding his feet in G51.

Most sane neutral observers will likely have the Govan side as favourites against Celtic given their recent form, but some seem to have other ideas.

Rangers result vs Celtic predicted by supercomputer

O'Neill looks rattled after the Rangers defeat, as his press conference before the Ferencvaros clash shows.

The Hoops' boss was completely outplayed and outthought by McInnes at Ibrox and it will be interesting to see how much of a difference a week makes.

According to Opta's supercomputer, Celtic are seen as favourites to win the upcoming Old Firm derby.

The home side's chances of victory stand at 49.9 per cent.

As for the Gers, their chance of getting another win over the Hoops stands at 24.8 per cent, while the possibility of a draw is 25.3 per cent.

All of this will certainly leave McInnes in hysterics, as it feels senseless to make Celtic the favourites after looking at their last two performances.

What Derek McInnes will have to change vs Celtic

Ryan Naderi is a doubt for the Celtic game and Rangers may have to replace him in their starting lineup.

The Germany-born forward was one of the Gers' standout players in the 3-0 win over the Hoops.

Naderi's energy and determination up front were pivotal to McInnes' plans against Celtic the last time out.

The Scottish manager will now have to consider replacing the 23-year-old striker.

It would make sense to bring Minsu Kim back into a more central role, playing behind the number nine, likely Kevin Kelsy.

On the right-wing, Badredine Bouanani could provide the quality needed to keep Celtic's defence on its toes.

Another exciting matchday could be on the horizon in the William Hill Premiership.
