How 8 elite pundits see Celtic vs Rangers going as Ibrox royalty makes plea and radio pundit panics over a wager

It's the game everyone wants to predict while also keeping a close eye on the escape exit, having the chopper running, with a parachute attached ready to vamoose – pundits always need to leave a little wiggle room.

Weighing in how Celtic vs Rangers will play out is akin to an overeager boxer wading in blows but leaving their chin exposed resulting in a smack to the chops.
