Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Celtic to win as the most likely result (56%). It gives Celtic 56% at home, a draw 22% and Rangers 22%, so its call is 1: Celtic to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 44% / 25% / 31%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 2.0 for Celtic and 1.2 for Rangers; the single most likely score is 1-1.
Rebuilt after kick-off using only matches played before it. A double chance (1X, X2, 12) is called when the top two results are within 10 points. A goals call (O2.5 or U2.5) is made only when the model gives one side at least 65%.
