Celtic are a highly attractive 19/20 to win Saturday’s derby match at Ibrox.

Hoops fans are bound to pile in at that price with memories fresh of last season’s 5-1 wins over Sevco which bookmarked last season’s derby fixtures, the 19/20 odds are from SPFL sponsors Ladbrokes.

With Celtic going five points clear of Pedro Caixinha’s side at the weekend the pressure is sure to be on the fifth best coach in Qatar as kick off approaches.

Caixinha has still to win three matches in a row since replacing Mark Warburton and has led the club to some disastrous results highlighted by a Europa League KO from Progres Niederkorn of Luxembourg.

Spending £10m, largely in the Mexican market has failed to bring about an improvement in form with the Ibrox side sitting in joint third place with St Johnstone and six matches.

Before the city rivals meet at Ibrox on Saturday Sevco have to meet Partick Thistle in the League Cup tomorrow night with Celtic facing Dundee the following night.

While Celtic are getting their players back from injury Sevco could be without defensive stars Lee Wallace and Declan John both picking up injuries in the 2-2 draw away to Partick Thistle.
