Celtic and Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are in action today, and Chris Sutton backs both to pick up wins.

Chris Sutton believes that Old Firm outfits Celtic and Rangers will both record victories in the Scottish Premiership today.

Celtic travel to Kilmarnock in the early kickoff today as Brendan Rodgers’s side look to dole out another heavy defeat to the hosts, whom they beat 5-0 in the League Cup this month.

Rangers, fresh from a 3-2 defeat by Hibernian last weekend, are back at Ibrox as the Gers look to bounce back from that disappointing result to Neil Lennon’s men.

Pedro Caixinha poses at the tunnel after he is unveiled as the new manager of Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on March 13, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Pedro Caixinha has the luxury of midfielder Ryan Jack being available after his red card against Hibs was overturned, and Celtic legend Sutton believes both sides will pick up victories this afternoon.

It’s imperative that Rangers bounce back.

Celtic finished 39 points ahead of their bitter Old Firm rivals last season, and Caixinha doesn’t want to give Rodgers’s troops a headstart this season because, in all likelyhood, they will only increase the advantage as the campaign unfolds.
