First goalscorer: John Guidetti @ 10/3
It really does make sense to go with the Hoops’ top scorer in the form of on-loan Manchester City striker Guidetti, despite his seven-game barren spell in front of goal.
The Swede has already scored four in this competition for Ronny Deila’s side, inclusing a hat-trick in the 6-0 rout of Partick.
Correct Score: Celtic 2-1 Rangers @ 8/1
Despite the unusual scenario of Celtic being overwhelming favourites for the tie thanks to the divisional gap, the stakes demand that this will be a fiercely contested match.
Four of the last six League Cup Old Firm clashes have finished 2-1 to the Gers, with the other two seeing Celtic prevail 2-0 winners, so in all instances exactly two goals have been scored by the victorious team.
Celtic to win and BTTS was 7/4 now 5/2
Rangers to win and BTTS was 12/1 now 16/1 (both apply to 90 mins betting)
