OWEN SCOTT picked out stats for each of the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals and landed three winners and a near miss.
The William Hill man spends hours each week looking for trends on the Scottish games and remember these are pointers not tips.
His three midweek winners were Lewis Macleod to score and Rangers win (19-5), Aberdeen to win to nil (9-4) and Hibs v Dundee Utd score draw (16-5). His loser was Celtic to win and both to score and it might have come up if Partick hadn't been hit by an early red card.
