thanks and sorry again
Rangers - Celtic
Odds made ups and downs in last two days and now Rangers are the favourite in spite of the big problems due to covid that already devasted them in second leg of El match against Alashkert.
In midweek didn't travel due to covid trainer Gerrard and one assistant trainer, plus Tavernier ( def.3 3assists), Bassey ( def.2), Kent ( att.3), Wright ( midf. 2sub) and both first keepers McGregor and McLaughlin.
It is unknown if and who of these players will be available today, it seems almost sure that Tavernier remain out.
On the contrary, return available Sakala ( att.1), Lundstram ( midf.1+2) and Roofe ( att.2sub) last two were suspended only in EL.
Anyway it is to consider the long travel in Armenia - Celtic played in midweek, too, but with a by far less stressing travel in Netherland - the unknown conditions of players remained out for covid; possible absence of trainer again; the fact that Rangers had almost intact attacking line and were not able to score against a team in ten men for whole second half, odds for geusts covering the draw are too high in my opinion.
Celtic without particular absences, co-topscorer Furuhashi and Taylor ( def.3) should have recovered by knocks suffered in midweek and also for them tow players not available in EL - Forrest ( midf.1+1) and newcomer McCarthy - return.
Local newspapers yesterday evening continues to give probable first eleven without all players that missed El cause covid:
Glasgow Live: Predicted Rangers team : McCrorie, Patterson, Goldson, Helander, Barisic, Kamara, Davis, Aribo, Roofe, Hagi, Morelos.
( latest says Kent could return here, maybe only on bench).

Did you mean Celtic +0,25?
Did you mean Celtic +0,25?
Yes, yes, sorry, Celtic +0.25 of course. Sorry again
among players with covid only Kent - that seems was out cause injury and not covid - in the list. Confirmed third keeper McCrorie in goal. Absent 19 years old Patterson, starter with Alashkert.
Celtic full.
Yes, partially agree with you. But often cause people goes against teams with covid without knows who is really affected ( names almost never made public). I try to bet only if and when i know important and/or many players are out. In this case was unknown if players return from covid, then infact they not returned and 2-3 reg out plus both first keeper against Celtic was to try, no matter if covid, illness or injuries. Anyway, i saw some part of match, Celtic seems to lack authomatism among players, no good day today, in the other match Lorient made two shots in goal and two goals...::thinking
