CELTIC are licking their wounds after suffering their earliest Champions League exit for 15 years.
Neil Lennon's men crashed 2-1 at home to Ferencvaros and while they clearly missed injured star striker Odsonne Edouard it was defensive slackness that again cost them in Europe.
It was a disastrous result for the Hoops and a bad one for Scottish football as we need all the boosts we can get.
I tipped Celtic to win but they were too short to feature on my lines and my Super Single of Ryan Christie to score landed at 13-8.
My Champions League treble also won at 4-1 thanks to Molde draw no bet, Rapid Vienna and Dinamo Brest so it was a decent night.
Now it's the turn of Aberdeen and Motherwell to try to win some pride back for Scottish football as they launch their Europa League campaigns.
Aberdeen tackle Runavik at home and Motherwell welcome Glentoran to Fir Park and I've posted my thoughts on the games.
Also check out Kevin Mac's predictions and match previews for Aberdeen vs Runavik and Motherwell vs Glentoran.
I'll look at all the Europa League games in the morning before putting up top tips. Other games include TNS vs Zilina, Valletta vs Bala Town and Maribor vs Coleraine and Shamrock Rovers vs Ilves.
Well done to all the winners on Wednesday, especially those who backed Ferencvaros at a big price.

Good to see the Dutch Eerste Divisie making a return on Friday. Ten games over Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon, if I’m not mistaken.
Getting in early on the eight Norwegian Division 1 games, looking at H2H’s and recent form we should see goals.
All on SkyBet
27+ total goals – 5/6 (Nap)
Over 1.5 goals in each game – 15/8 (NB)
A goal in both halves of every games – 22/1
Over 2.5 goals in each game – 22/1
Over 1.5FHG in each game – 600/1
Looking at just the 1 game from the minefield of qualifiers tonight, bodo/glimt v Kaunas. As has been mentioned numerous times the hosts are on fire when it comes to goal scoring and I’m backing them to continue that tonight. Away side are in not bad form in their own league but the bookies have bodo at 1/6 for a reason.
2 selections are
Bodo win
Bodo to score bh
Over 7 match corners

7/4 bet 365 NB
Bobo/Glimt to win and btts now 8/5 bet365 but 15/8 via the bet builder to squeeze a bit more out of it.
Cheers al 👌🏻
Motherwell v Glentoran .
Couple of corner bets for me in this one
1 + Corner each team in each half. 1/1
2 + Corners each team in each half is a big 7/1
Hamilton had 5 corners against Motherwell last week . Lets hope Glentoran have a go .
Skybet
Belgium Grand Prix, Sunday
I wouldn’t be rushing to put the mortgage on this one but I’ve got to have a small stake on this one purely due to the fact it is overpriced. Everyone who follows F1 knows that there is such a gulf in quality between the Mercedes car and the rest of the field. Hamilton is obviously the better driver but the fact Bottas is priced up as third favourite behind Verstappen with some bookmakers for this one is mind boggling. I like Verstappen and maybe the feeling is that with a bit of rain, a Red Bull upgrade and mixed in with the fact Mercedes have struggled here in recent years that maybe he can repeat the success of his win at Silverstone a few weeks ago.
Spa is an intriguing track and does cause the odd upset but I can’t look past a Mercedes winner in this one.
For me Bottas shouldn’t be any bigger than 2/1 here.
Valtteri Bottas to win 4/1, Various

A winner yesterday in China with Wuhan Zall netting twice and today I return to China for a double header which should feature goals.
11:00 – Shijiazhuang Ever Bright vs. Beijing Guoan
Ever Bright have seen 17 goals in their 6 matches so far with 4 going over 2.5, Gouan have seen 21 in their 6 with 5 of their 6 games going over 2.5, including their last 4.
13:00 – Qingdao Huanghai vs. Hebei CFFC
Huanghai have not been as open with 16 goals in their 6 games with only 2 going over 2.5, however their opponents Hebei have seen 22 goals in their 6 games with over 2.5 (actually over 3.5) hitting in 5 of their 6.
For me, a straightforward over 2.5 goals double looks appealing considering the stats.
Over 2.5 Goals Double – 7/4
Best of luck to all today!
Early afternoon bet coming from Tajikistan.
Tajikistan First league
All four games over 1.5 first half goals at 13/1,first game Kicks off 12.30pm the other 3 at 1.00pm.
Best of luck
Can’t understand the prices on my bet i think the bookies have set them wrong your getting just over even money in each game for two first half goals,now the Tajikistan Premier league is a lot tighter than the first league and would expect these prices for the Premier league given that there can be 4 or 5 goals in the first half of these games then bets a no brainer,i have already landed this bet on 3 occasions the last one being an 18/1 like i say the bookies are pricing these games up as if they are Tajikistan premier league games and they aren’t there First league games.lol
Absolute rubbish,unusual from this league
On these today. GL if anyone would fancy the acca:-
Ull/Kisa vs Kongsvinger G-G
Jerv vs Ranheim G-G
Sogndal vs Oygarden FK over2.5
Bodo/Glimt to win and over2.5 match goals against Kauno Zalgiris.
Rosenborg vs Breidablik over2.5
NB – G-G stands for Goal Goal, which is a YES on BTTS market.
O – K
Just put BTTS…simples😎
The Faroese National team in the past have picked up a few cards if i remember correctly .
I think they can be a tough people at times . With this in mind i am on red cards tonight
Runavik v Aberdeen. Red card 9/2
Fir park can be good for reds as well on occasion
Motherwell v Glentoran. Red card 9/2
2 x Single and a double
Double pays 29/1 Hills

Keen reader of the site here, just don’t have much time to contribute unfortunately.
I’m in Northern Ireland & a follower of the Irish League. The last 2-3 years have seen a decent raise of standards in the top half of the Top division.
There’s a few reasons for this, teams aiming to go completely full time, large outside investment for at least 2 of the top 6 sides – Motherwell’s opponents Glentoran are one of those.
They won the Irish Cup a few weeks back so I believe they’ve been back training for 6 weeks +
There’s still a big gulf between the Scottish Prem & the N Irish Prem, but the standard over here has risen considerably.
Bet of the Day for me is Glentoran +2 at around 13/10

Looking for some advice.
I had Brøndby IF under 4.5 goals as part of a winning accumulator at 8/13
Ladbrokes have now voided this as the friendly was played 3 x 40 mins
The match still finished 2-1 after 120 mins of play?
Three tight games in the first half then hopefully flood gates will open
So 2nd Half to have most goals

Agree the away team is the market to look at.
Aberdeen and Motherwell will get hoofed out the Europa League sooner than later. I have doubled their opponents tonight 180/1 and will single them too . Win on pens as well . All small stakes. The thing about these European ties is they are one offs and the away team has to go for it as the away goal rule is void.Post my loopy bets later.

Aspenal v smith both on fire last night with the 180s(5 each)

Aberdeen vs Runavik

4+ NSI Runavik corners
3/1
5+ NSI Runavik corners
6/1
6+ NSI Runavik corners
12/1
7+ NSI Runavik corners
25/1
I’ll be on the 3+ with some loose change on the 6+ and 7+
2 + corners each team in each half is 8/1 besensible . Worth a small punt .
Looked at that one too Cocker, can get 11/1 on 365 betbuilder
To big to ignore slim
Did Runavik get any corners? Didn’t see them cross the halfway line.
