Goal Statistics

Rangers's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday lunch time, not least because Celtic have conceded in each of their last 8 Premiership matches. A PG of 1.7 for D. Röhl's side suggests that run should continue.

Rangers's defensive record is to be admired, D. Röhl's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Premiership matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Celtic makes sense in this context.
