The Story in 60 Seconds

Rangers manager Derek McInnes is preparing his side to face Celtic at Parkhead on Sunday, following a dominant 3-0 victory over their rivals in the Premier Sports Cup. Despite Rangers' recent strong form and Celtic's subsequent 3-1 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros, Opta's supercomputer has surprisingly named Celtic as the favourites for the upcoming Old Firm derby.

According to the supercomputer, Celtic has a 49.9 percent chance of winning the match, while Rangers' chances are rated at 24.8 percent, with a draw at 25.3 percent. Rangers may have to play the derby without forward Ryan Naderi, who is a doubt for the game, potentially forcing McInnes to alter his starting lineup.
