Rangers can usually be relied on for high corner counts, and I expect Sunday’s clash with Hearts to be no different, particularly with the onus on the hosts to go all out for 3 points. The Light Blues’ Scottish top-flight fixtures this season are generating a sizeable average of 10.73 corner kicks per game. That is largely down to Rangers themselves being prolific corner performers, posting an average of 6.50 per 90.

Hearts, as you would expect, also rank highly for team corners, averaging 5.38 per game, with their matches producing an overall average of 9.81. Derek McInnes’ side are well-known for getting early crosses into the box, often forcing corner situations, which they have proven very adept at scoring from this season. The Jam Tarts should therefore rack up more than their fair share at Ibrox.

The case for backing this selection is bolstered by the fact that the previous two meetings between these sides this season delivered corner totals of 11 and 16, with Rangers winning the corner battle on both occasions. With all that in mind, I’m more than happy to back both teams to combine for over 7.5 flag kicks on Sunday.

While I’m expecting Celtic to eke out a victory on Sunday, I think Kilmarnock are more than capable of contributing to the scoring. The hosts have looked much improved over the past month, winning each of their last two home games and racking up seven goals across those victories. It's also worth noting that Killie scored a consolation goal away at Rangers last midweek - made all the more impressive as they were reduced to 10 men early in the game.

Neil McCann will have his players fired up for this clash, and I think they could make their mark against a Celtic side that have conceded in each of their last two home games against Scottish Premiership strugglers Dundee and Livingston. Celtic won the latter of those matches 2-1 in midweek, as they did when last visiting this venue earlier in the season, and I think the same scoreline is a strong possibility on Sunday. The fact that both teams scored during Celtic's most recent Scottish Premiership away game at Hearts adds further weight to siding with a repeat this weekend.

Benjamin Nygren’s numbers in front of goal this season make him the standout option in the to Score or Assist market here. The Norwegian midfielder has proven to be a shrewd signing for Celtic, already racking up 15 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions this season. 12 of those strikes have come in the Scottish Premiership, four arriving in his last five outings. What’s more, the 24-year-old has also contributed six assists this season, with four of them coming away from Celtic Park.

Although Kilmarnock have shown signs of life of late, their 4-3 win over St Mirren on Wednesday highlighted that they remain defensively vulnerable. What’s more, McCann’s men shipped five goals away at Rangers last midweek, albeit while playing the majority of the game with 10 men. Nevertheless, Killie still looks shaky at the back, and I think Nygren is the prime candidate to capitalise on that by registering another goal involvement at Rugby Park on Sunday.

Celtic have shown a knack for winning ugly of late, and I suspect it could be a similar story on Sunday against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Martin O’Neill has overseen an impressive nine wins from 10 Scottish Premiership matches across his two spells as interim manager this season, even if the performances have often been solid rather than spectacular. That includes narrow victories away at the likes of St Mirren, Hibernian and Falkirk, and it could be more of the same in Ayrshire this weekend.

What’s more, Celtic have the added incentive of knowing a win at Rugby Park would see them make inroads on the two teams directly above them in the table, with Rangers and Hearts set to face off at Ibrox later in the afternoon.

While Kilmarnock have shown signs of improvement under Neil McCann, their two defeats have come against Motherwell and Rangers, and I think they are likely to fall short once again when they come up against another of the division’s stronger sides in the shape of Celtic on Sunday.
