ABERDEEN are the only club Scottish walking a Europa League tightrope as they, Rangers and Kilmarnock attempt to make the second qualifying round.
The Dons have work to do after conceding a late goal at home to RoPS but Rangers and Killie have done the hard job away from home.
Instead of needing to win 3-0 to qualify RoPS will go through with a 1-0 success after losing 2-1 at Pittodrie.
The goal changed the momentum of the tie but Derek McInnes' men were clearly superior and I'm backing them to win in the Arctic Circle.
Aberdeen boasted the best away record in the Premiership last season and are 3-4 at McBookie to win again.
Skipper Joe Lewis was disappointed to concede at Pittodrie and I'm on the Dons to win to nil at 9-5 with McBookie.
Niall McGinn netted a cracker with Sam Cosgrove also on target and it's last season's prolific scorer who tempts to net first or score but there are no prices yet.
Rangers have won 5-0, 4-0 and 4-0 this season and with the tie against St Joseph's done is all about how many they'll score.
The handicap line is set at -3 or -4 and the first one especially could come in at 8-13 with Betway while -4 is 13-8 at Paddy Power. Rangers to win to nil pays just 2-5 at boylesports.
Steven Gerrard has plenty of options regarding his starting line-up so check teams before having a bet. Last season's top scorer Alfredo Morelos is 13-5 with bet365 while Jermain Defoe is 9-4.
Killie are just 1-10 at home to Nomads but could concede so try Killie and btts at 23-10 with 888sport.
There are dozens of other games with many sides such as Malmo, Molde and Dinamo Tbilisi already through after big wins in the first legs.
Short-priced teams including Hapoel Beer Sheva, Norrkoping and Domzale should all win and I've picked out a both to score treble in games at Domzale v Balzan, Shkupi v Pyunik and FC Inter v Brondby. The treble pays 22-5 at bet365.

Europa games are funny to predict. When a team have had a big win in first game second game seems to be goals galore. Dont know if anyone agrees but a team who have won say 3.0 4.0 first game switch off for second game knowing that they are though already. Going to pick teams that have had 3or 4 goals in first game a d see how it goes .4or 5 games btts .Good luck today
You’re not wrong there and more so when the first leg’s been away.
At home and take Rangers for example there will be a big crowd expecting more of the same.
Also for some teams it’s still about building fitness at this time of year and giving all players a runout.
