The title looks like it could go down to the wire in Scotland and for a change it might make an exciting finish to the season
Both Rangers and Celtic are in action today and to put it mildly, neither team can possibly afford to drop points, especially at home and Rangers should have far too much for whipping boys Gretna at Ibrox today. The home side have scored 36 goals at home this season in 13 games and won 11 of those 13 games by 2 goals or more. They did play during the week and had a 1 – 1 draw in Greece to send them through to the next round of the UEFA Cup so confidence will be high.
Gretna have stormed up the leagues since being formed only a few short years ago. But in reality they look out of their dept in the top flight and are already planning for next year in the first division. They are nine points adrift at the bottom of the league and their squad is down to the bare bones as it is. With 33 goals concede away from home its virtually impossible to see taking anything from this game and in my opinion it will be damage limitation from the kick off.
Verdict
Rangers did have a tough midweek fixture but even at that should have far too much for Gretna on home soil. Even if they make lots of changes to the starting 11 as I fully expect their home record is tremendous and they should win this one comfortably
