Rangers – Celtic Scotland : 29th April 2017
They want to break the ice
Glasgow Rangers ended the regular season on the 3rd position in the Premiership, with 58 points gathered at the end of the 33 stages. Thus, although the performance of Caixinha’s students seems to be precarious, “The Light Blues” are freshly promoted in the first echelon of Scotland after that nightmare demo in the 4th league. Even so, Rangers has the theoretical chances of being vice-champion, given that the nine-point handicap against Aberdeen can be recovered. Looking strictly at the Saturday derby, the hosts have to overcome their limits in front of the big rival to make claims to victory.
