A quiet Monday gives us the chance to look ahead to this midweek's action in Europe and domestically as the 2021-22 season moves up a gear.
There's a big week ahead for three Scottish teams in Europe. An undercooked Celtic side under new boss Ange Postecoglu host Danes FC Midtjylland on Tuesday. The Hoops (1/1 to win) are embarking on an overhaul of their squad and it feels like this huge tie might be coming round a little too quickly.
That said, the Superliga runners-up (5/2) aren't in the best of shape themselves with a new manager of their own, missing key players from last season and losing their opening match of the season. Check out KevMac's preview.
The stand-out tie of this week's Champions League qualifying matches sees PSV Eindhoven host Galatasaray, whom they defeated en route to lifting the trophy in 1988.
Aberdeen and Hibs are in Europa Conference League action on Thursday night. The Dons host BK Häcken, who are currently 8th in the Swedish Allsvenskan whilst Hibs should have comfortable night at East Road against Andorran side Santa Coloma.
There's also the latest round of fixtures in the Premier Sports Cup spread over Tuesday and Wednesday night. Mark Walker is ahead of the game with his Cove Rangers v Inverness match preview but we'll have more on the site over the next 24 hours.
Also keep an eye out for the start of the men's football competition at the Olympics. There's live matches at 9.00am and 12.30 on Eurosport and BBC Red Button on Thursday as teh chase for a gold medal in Japan kicks-off.

Morikawa Wins & Caddy Profits Again
In the end it was Collin Morikawa who held his nerve to shoot a bogey-free final round at St George's to claim his second major title at the tender age of 24.
The American held off Jordan Spieth to finish two shots clear and cradled the Claret Jug as winner of the 149th Open Championship.

The Caddy's headline tip, Brooks Koepka, managed yet another Top 10 finish, tied sixth on -8 so well done if you backed him and collected at one of the many bookies offering extra places.
To add that Koepka also finished comfortably ahead of a frustrated Bryson DeChambeau to land another winning NAP for The Caddy. Well done!

Over 1.5tgs double @ 2/1 (WHill) ❌
Fredrikstad
USA
USA scored in the first minute then managed to go the rest of the game without another shot on target !
Couple early ones for Tuesday before prices drop
Inverness over 1.5 tgs @ 6/5 (WHill)
Not entirely sure what’s happened to cove rangers after a good couple of seasons but they have not started this one well. Already out this cup and conceding 3+ in the 3 games so far against Hearts,Stirling and Peterhead. Inverness however are very much still in the mix and have hit 2+ in their 2 games played. Just seen Mark Walker has this as well and surprised if above evens come kick off.
Over 1.5 team goals @ 1.5/1 (WHill boost)
St mirren
Partick
Hearts
All 3 teams should really be notching a few goals against their respective opponents at a decent price.
The roll up is a nice 4.2/1 for all 4 as well.
Good luck all 🤞🤞

Good Luck with all bets, on a poor day !

KTP v HAKA
After trawlling the little that is on after today i stumbled across what looks like a pretty good NAP both of these teams are basement boys KTP have scored in 7/10 home and away including a 0-3 win in the reverse of this fixture a month or two back, wo i think to score 1 is very achievable. Hoping to keep winning naps coming…

21 corners , 0 goals… Go.figure. sorry folks wdw
Finland is a pile o shite for goals Sammy, I drew a line through that league years ago unless bookies offer odds on tier 3 and below.
I once had a winner on a team called FC Santa Claus believe it or not, guess what they play in red and white and their shirt has Santa on it 🎅🎅

Don’t forget for those interested the Olympics football starts on Wednesday morning 2 days before the opening ceremony.
BBC red button, BBC red button channel on sky 980 and Eurosport showing all games.
GB women v Chile is on Wednesday morning.
Spain are favourite for the men’s and have a few of their euro 2021 squad playing,
Pedri, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Unai Simon, Mikel Oyarzabal and Pau Torres while Dani Ceballos and Marco Asensio are also included as over-aged players.
Brazil usually have a good squad and they take it seriously, don’t know much about the rest of the squads.
Apparently Egypt are useful but are in a group with Spain and Argentina.
Brazil, Germany and ivory coast is an interesting looking group too.
And my dear country Nigeria is missing out despite us being the most populated black country on earth.
I remembered the last Olympic when Mikel Obi single handed financed the occasion.
Couple for Tomorrow
Midtjylland
Sparta Prague
Over 0.5tgs double 9/10

Over 1.5tgs Treble 13/10
Good luck
Nothin to call a NAP tonight.
Trying this for a bet though don’t expect a goal fest.

Central Córdoba
V
Banfield
22:00
Argentine Primera Division
🇦🇷 BTTS 21-20 (HILLS) 🇦🇷
Central conceded in 14 of 15 homes with 8 BTTS.
Banfield are pretty stodgy away but hopefully can score given centrals dismal home form.
Banfield lost 1-0 at a lower league club just 5 days ago so may concede.
Central are slight favourites, god knows why as I see banfield winning if any
Main hope for this is 2 head to head in the last 15 months here were 1-1 draws including one in march which is probably a best case scenario 😬
Prediction under 2.5 goals, 1-1 (hopefully)
🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Elvis!!!! BTS at half time. ✌
Good call Elvis. I hopped on this as soon as I spotted it. The second goal had already been scored but I went for under 2.5 goals at 2 odds.
Brave call divineown 👍.
I hate betting on there not being a goal and I gather it was 1-1 when you took that bet so well in…..
No joy on the corners…a disappointing count of 9 sees my bets as losers 👎
Well done all winners!
