Supercomputer predicts Rangers unbeaten league season as Steven Gerrard's side tipped to become Invincibles

Dominant Rangers have been predicted to complete an unbeaten season by a supercomputer.

Steven Gerrard 's side are undefeated in the Premiership and the boffins at FiveThirtyEight, through their Club Soccer Predictions model, now reckon they will see out the campaign without losing a game.

With just five post-split matches remaining, the champions have been been handed odds-on percentages to win their remaining fixtures.

That includes a 54 per cent chance that they will win on derby day against Celtic on May 2 and pile more misery on their rivals.

However, they will narrowly fall short of the points total reached by Brendan Rodgers' Hoops in 2016/17 season, which remains a Scottish top flight record of 106 points.

Interim boss John Kennedy is expected to take his team's tally to 77 from now until the end of the season following the top six split.

The final standings will make grim reading for fans of Hamilton and Kilmarnock with the pollsters tipping them to occupy the bottom two slots in the table.

Brian Rice's men have been handed a 71 per cent chance of dropping to the Championship.

Hibs are also expected to comfortably beat Aberdeen to third by a seven-point margin.
