Postmatch editorial

Celtic made the pre-match prices look right

The final score was Celtic 3-1 Rangers. The median bookmaker prices were already leaning toward that outcome.

Rangers struck first through Mikey Moore 9', but Celtic recovered and flipped the match.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rangers led Corners 1-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Celtic also shaded Shots on target 4-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Celtic the favourite at 55.1% implied probability. That market lean landed.
