Scottish Premier League Odds

16 Feb 2010

Safe to say that this hasn't exactly been the best season for the green half of Glasgow. In fact, such is the gap now between Celtic and League Leaders Rangers that the odds are, well, worth taking a look at!

Since the Scottish Premier League was founded back in 1998 there have been no winners outside of the two Glasgow giants and fierce rivals and only once has a team other than these two broken into the top two places, back when Hearts pipped Rangers to second in the 2005-06 season. Well it certainly doesn't look as if this dominance is going to come to a surprise end this year as Rangers currently hold a rather comfortable ten point lead at the top of the table.

However, the season is far from over and it has never been a wise move to bet so firmly against Celtic as the Bhoys are not entirely out of the equation. The recent arrival of boyhood fan and Irish international striker Robbie Keane on loan from Tottenham has seen the men in green and white build something of a resurgence, even if at the moment it is largely a psychological one.  

So, is it worth a flutter you ask? Can Celtic make up this lost ground? Well, according to most bookies the answer to the second question is no, which make the answer to the first question a firm yes because with the season pulling into the final third, as long as Celtic don't drop any more foolish points, they should narrow the gap in no time; at the minute, the odds are the best they could be in terms of you making a profit. Sure, it's an outside chance but right now there are some very interesting odds on Celtic and they are certainly worth taking a look at.
