2020/21 Season - Scottish Football Betting Guide

Scottish Football continues to grow in notoriety the world over, with Celtic and Rangers very much the two teams vying for supremacy.

Celtic have enjoyed an incredible run of success, having won the last 9 Scottish Premier League titles, as their arch rivals struggled with financial problems and dwelled in the doldrums.

Optimism is growing on the blue half of Glasgow though that this could be their year, under the stewardship of Steven Gerrard.

Against the backdrop of Old Firm dominance, the usual suspects of Aberdeen, Hibernian and Kilmarnock are all ready to pounce should Celtic or Rangers faulter – adding to the drama and intrigue around the season.

And with the Scottish national team on the brink of qualifying for their first major tournament in over 20 years, there is a sense of growing momentum around Scottish football currently.

With COVID 19 seemingly changing the dynamic within the footballing landscape too, here is a guide to betting on Scottish Football in 2020/21:

Bet on the Big Games

Whilst Celtic and Rangers rightfully dominate the Scottish football landscape, there are plenty of big games for punters to bet on within the regular season.

The Old Firm grabs the headlines, with Celtic and Rangers clashing three times per year to create an incredibly raucous atmosphere in Glasgow.

Fans are currently unable to attend fixtures amidst the COVID 19 pandemic, but the rivalry burns as strong as ever in 2020/21 and both sides have plenty to play for.

Elsewhere, whenever Celtic or Rangers take on Aberdeen the stakes are perilously high whilst the likes of Kilmarnock and Hibernian possess the potential to upset the big boys on their day.

With so many big games in the calendar, punters are blessed with a plethora of betting opportunities on Scottish Premier League Football.

Goals Galore

The 2020/21 season has been noted for the increase in goals scored across all levels of the professional game in the UK.

No fans in stadiums have contributed to teams playing with more freedom, with less sides opting for a defensive approach.

Scottish football is also known for providing plenty of goals, across all levels of the pyramid and punters should always look to back the goals to fly in when betting on Scottish Football.

Keep Updated

With only 12 sides in the Scottish Premier League, there are 6 fixtures per game week – making keeping abreast of the comings and goings in the SPL far easier than in some other countries.

Celtic and Rangers are generally short odds favourites for most games they play but for plenty of other sides, value can be found in every fixture.

Research into trends and patterns can easily be done on Scottish Football, with most games shown live on TV and punters can also enjoy Scottish Premier League action through in-play live streaming on some UK betting sites.
