Punters pile on Rangers to win Premiership but Celtic remain odds-on for title immortality

Rangers to win the 20/21 Premiership title is the hot bet among punters ahead of the season getting back underway.

Over 52 per cent of bets for next season's title winners have been on Steven Gerrard's side ahead of their curtain-raiser against rivals Aberdeen.

The Ibrox barely put a foot wrong last season before a dramatic collapse before lockdown left them trailing the Hoops by seven points.

Celtic are searching for an unprecedented 10th consecutive title this season and remain the betting favourites to secure top spot once again.

But Callum Wilson of Oddschecker has revealed supporters are piling in on Rangers on ending their long wait to reclaim top spot in Scottish football.

He said: “With the Scottish season about to get underway, we’ve seen increased interest in title betting this year.

“That comes to no surprise when you factor in everything riding on the season – and it appears that punters are keener to back Rangers at underdog prices.  

“Steven Gerrard’s side opened up at 2/1 before being cut into 15/8 to stop Celtic’s 10-in-a-row ambitions.”
