Rangers are favourites with the bookies to beat Celtic this weekend in the first derby of the new season.

Steven Gerrard's men are in a rich vein of form and have yet to lose since the beginning of the campaign, including during their Europa League exploits.

Wins over Kilmarnock, Hibs and St Mirren have seen them start well domestically while they breezed past the likes of St Joseph's, Progres Niederkorn and FC Midtjylland to keep confidence sky-high.

Even their goalless draw with Legia Warsaw last week gives them cause to be proud ahead of the return leg this week.

Celtic have also started very well with big wins over St Johnstone, Motherwell and Hearts.

The Hoops also blew away Nomme Kalju and Sarajevo before a slip up against CFR Cluj cost them their Champions League ambitions.

So ever-so-slight favourites with bookmakers are Rangers, with home advantage potentially playing a factor.

Gers are 6/4 with William Hill and Betfair while they're even shorter odds at 7/5 with Skybet, Bet365 and Paddy Power.

Punters can gamble on a Celtic win, on the other hand, with odds as long as 2/1 with Bet365.

Rangers beat their fierce rivals twice at Ibrox last season.
