TONIGHT my focus is on Celtic and their opening Champions League qualifier away to Linfield.
I'll post a separate preview of the game but it should be a convincing win for the Scots who have learned lessons from last season and who of course were invincible domestically as they won the Treble in Brendan Rodgers.
The Scottish domestic scene also kicks off with a derby between Ayr and Kilmarnock in the Betfred Cup. Killie are 4-6 favourites with the likes of McBookie and should win but maybe there will be a Friday night cracker with goals and Killie and both to score is a best 23-10 at McBookie.
Elsewhere there are some Irish matches and friendlies to look at as well as Gold Cup clashes between Mexico and Jamaica and El Salvador v Curacao.
I'm not sure if I'll add to the Super Single because I need to write Saturday's column for the Daily Record before spending tomorrow down at the Scottish Open in Dundonald. If I get a chance I'll post a double or treble.
Thursday's Europa League effort was let down by Aberdeen conceding to Siroki in the second half after wins by AEL Limassol and Astra. It was a poor result for the Dons who will now at least have to score in Bosnia but they have won five away games in the EL in the past three seasons so don't write them off yet.
It was one winner out two for Greg although the Norrkoping -1 could have been cashed out when they were 2-0 ahead.

Heading over to Colombia for a late Night Owl and one of my favourite SA cup competitions…
Two games here and apologies for the lack of reasoning – goals should certainly feature and the CC games have a penchant for early goals in particular!

MILLIIONARIOS VS. PETROLERA

GL @hullshaker, I diddnt think Col cup games would feature the team goal line market. I only had a look at the match ups having seen you put a tip up.
please whats fhgs and mghs
First half goals and match goals.
Refund,so
£75 sport Recife&Nacional potosi over 0.5mgls returns£125
its nice to see others trying challenge bets. @kelly-d has set the standard
Yeah it’s different,your goal lines are proving fruitful mate,really pleased for you,gone for a double on Atl Nacional&Millonarios over 1.5tgls double 2.30 but separate from challenge as want to keep it at 0.5mgls,rode my luck earlier with the over 1fhgls so need to stay disciplined with that,is hard though,best of luck tonight mate
I wasn’t expecting Bet365 to have goal lines for the Colombian cup games, but I’ve found my next bet, and the goal line is set low. Barcelona Guayaquil line the other night was low, I backed it and it was a loser.
Bet 27. Millonarios – Goal before 35:00 5/6
Got two for the price of one, well done man!

Brondby vs VPS
VPS to score
6/4
William Hill (Inshop) – 10 Points
**LOST** – Thought VPS would be way more effective on the counter attack but they just looked to keep the scoreline to a bare minimum to have a realistic chance in the second leg. I know VPS are quite strong defensively and regularly look to keep a Clean Sheet in tact so also anticipated corners in this one. Over 9.5 was 10/11 at various places prematch which I had noted down and yet again I picked wrong option and went for the better price.
Honestly staked too much on this selection although I fancied it, gonna take a break for a while before the big European leagues start. Got a strong feeling things will get a lot worse in terms of losses if I continue on at the moment. Discipline is something I still need to work on in the meantime.

Bet365 not showing team goals for liverpool or Burnley, would have preferred to have got on.
My funds are in bet365 this now anyway.

1 winner 1 loser last night.
Wasn’t expecting a 0-0 in Mexico. Probably just a bet on the Russian super cup tonight.
CELTIC – 2.5 ASIAN HANDICAP 11/10 bet365. £ 40

Sviatchenko to score both halves 400/1
Sviatchenko 5-0 200/1
McGregor to score both halves 50/1
Just using ma £25 to get free bet on this game but think Armstrongs a shoe in as is Sinckair
i’m off to the lyon celtic friendly tomorrow, doubt i’ll see armstrong or sinclair on the pitch @alves haha
WH offering sinclair and armstrong both to score, celtic keep a clean sheet and over 3 celtic goals @12/1
Decent bet Aaron, gonna have a look the niw and stick fiver on that. i would’ve been at Linfield game on Wednesday but unfortunately am in Spain so had to decline ?
ahh nothing worse man! i was wanting to go to that as well, will be a good game!, literally think it will be the celtic 2nd team tomorrow haha, but only 15 for the ticket so can’t really complain tbh
Free on ST’s and ma brothers offshore the now, defo won’t be 2nd team. Full team definitely, maybe play Dembele & Griff up front but defo 1st team, BR won’t want to take any chances after red imps plus all scottish teams this season.
On that bet tae wi a fiver left over for later
nice! should be a decent match then, hopefully lyon play a weakened team like haha.
Miller Ralston Aitchison gamboa de vries will Probably start I’m guessing but can’t see anyone who features tonight playing
Alves, who do you get the free bet from if you spend £25. Thanks in advance.

Lingfield v Celtic
Under 2.5 goals at 13/8 (nap)
The bookies odds for goals doesn’t fill me with confidence for this tie,I fully expect celtic to win but not by the margin some are suggesting,celtic are great in the scottish league but that’s where it ends,outside of it and they are not much better than a championship side.My call is a 1 or two nil win and a bigger scoreline in the home tie.
Yeah i think this game will be a low key affair given the history of the clubs. If Celtic go a couple of goals up i can see them sitting back and try and kill the fervour of the home fans. I will be surprised if there are over 3.5 goals in this match.
Linfield are no better than ross county or ICT, at least 3 nil here but thinking 5+ masel wi tge green tinted specs on
Agreed Alves, but i am thinking of the potential of trouble either at or after this fixture. That is why if Celtic do go a couple of goals up i think they will relax. I may well be wrong.Good luck with your bets anyway .
Celtic refused tickets because of safety issues but apparantly there’s fans got home tickets and Linfield gonna have section for them
Mccarthered celtic may b a championship team linfield are way under an english conference team .
Am actually a rangers fan but I think it’s underestimating celtic team at present to say there not much better than a championship side.man city thought that last year as well but after 2 goes still couldn’t beat them in champions cup.reallistacally not 1 person would b surprised if this finishes 5-0 tonight because that is the gulf in class.
Jim you’re right, should win this tie tonight but anything can happen in 1st competitive ties as seen last season and wi scottish teams this season. No way will BR play 2nd team tonight and Linfield will be playing 10 men behind tge ball as they’ve already said. A Linfield player was on the Record FB page saying he fears the worst after being tagged in it by his mate in match report post v shamrock rovers, he’s marking KT
Yes they gave man city a game but these games are one offs,could celtic play like that for 38 games in a season definatly not.
Not many teams do anything like that for 38 games macarthered…certainly teams in the championship don’t. ?
I don’t think Rangers or Celtic running at full steam are a championship side, when Rangers reconsolidate themselves properly and Celtic realise that the only team that’s likely to beat them in the Scottish top tier is Rangers, instead of having the last 3? seasons to themselves, Celtic will start to strengthen again, Rangers will do the same and they will once again be out there fighting season on season for who will grab the title. Celtic and Rangers IF dropped in to the English premiership would struggle to adapt for a few seasons, they’d avoid a relegation fight but I doubt they’d finish in the top half over those couple of seasons. By the time they’ve adjusted, I’d see them both regularly finishing somewhere between 6th and 10th, kind of about at where Everton have been since forever. The rest of the Scottish premiership definitely are average English championship players, but then again, could they cope with the change because the English 2nd tier is no cake walk. You only have to look at the likes of Villa and Forest ( 3 euro titles ) Forest have barely spent any time in the top half of the table since they came up, and Villa, well they’ve had a wretched time in the wrong half of the table since relegation. There are so many teams in there that have top tier experience, and money, 90% of them don’t bounce straight back up after premiership relegation.
Celtic and Rangers don’t need to adjust to the English Premier League – just give them the TV money and watch them go.
They’ve both got a massive fanbase but they have very little TV revenue.

Interesting. Certainly looks like theyve taken their foot off the gas since HT.

Celtic will not hold back this is champions league they want this game finished today.

Linfield v Celtic
under 2.5 goals at 13/8 (nap) Won
As i thought celtic showing Linfield respect under the circumstances,i will be on 8 or 9 goals come the second leg.Said 1 or 2 nil risky but it paid off.
That was a very good call mate
Yeah ballsy shout Macca well done
Thanks lads wouldn’t have dreamt of taking the bet but when i seen the odds the bookies knew this wasn’t going to be a goalfest,fairplay to the bookies though there was plenty of warning going by the odds.
Good TIPPING mcathered.
Well done
I’ve been looking at the gold cup, and think I’ve spotted a bit of value in the Canada – Honduras game. Honduras are yet to score a goal in the tournament including a 0-0 with a fairly limited French guyana team, and look to be quite blunt in attack.
Canada on the other hand look to be a steadily improving outfit, having scored 5 goals in their two games including a good 1-1 draw against Costa Rica.
Think the Canadians can get the job done tonight, but going to keep the draw onside with
Canada DNB at evens.
