Sunday, Shielfield Park, 12pm live on ESPN
RANGERS are beginning to come to terms with life in the Third Division and that's why they are no bigger than 1-6 at Stan James to win at Berwick.
Another sell-out crowd will greet the arrival of Ally McCoist's men as they cross the border into England.
Rangers are unbeaten in all competitions but away from home have drawn with Peterhead and edged out Brechin and Falkirk in cup-ties.
Ian Little’s Berwick conceded three goals in the space of five minutes as they lost 3-2 at Annan and that kind of defending will play into the hands of namesake Andy Little who has netted six in five games.
The Northern Ireland star doesn't belong at this level and is 10-3 with Stan James to net the opener. William Hill have enhanced Little from 7-2 to 5-1 to net two or more.
Rangers have let us down on the handicaps on the road but I'm again on minus two again at 11-10 with Paddy Power.
A bet that should come up is Rangers to score before 27 minutes at 8-11 with Paddy Power.
Recommendations
Little to score first
(10-3, Stan James)
Rangers -2
(11-10, Paddy Power)
What about Rangers and Barcelonavto be winning after 30 mins? £50 double returns £210
Are Rangers not dead? If they were somehow diagnosed as being alive i’d have to back them to beat Berwick.
Unfortunately they are an ex team so i’m taking berwick 3-0 if the SFA has the balls to treat them like a new team.
Derek, this is not a site for Old Firm debate. If you can’t accept Rangers exist then take a reality check but don’t bet against them because you’ll just lose it.
Barcelona and Rangers. Similar teams.
Got to be rangers to be winning in 30 mins at 10/11 then? Surely?
Paul are you putting anything on Little to score 2 or more?
I might do Andy little too but I think ill do £30 each way so £193 back for my £60 if he scores first and £63 if he scores 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th so basically money back. A kind of insurance bet
Yeah Derek Rangers are dead. This is the newco. Old Rangers, new Rangers, I couldn’t care less to be honest. All I care about is winning money and that’s coming from a Celtic fan.
5/1 little to score two or more seems tasty. Just over 3/1 gers and barca winning 30 mins also nice. Think rangers players starting to realise that even tho theyre playing at a shit level they cant just turn up and win they need to graft against these teams and barca started season on fire!
I’m also keeping an eye out for Kevin Kyle starting games for goalscorer betting as his physical game is suited to this level.
Joe that was the double I posted earlier, considering doing it myself. Real Madrid can be added at 11/8 to make it just shy of a 9/1 treble.
£10 returns £99.80
Yeah i know chris i got it from your post!! I dont normally go looking for these kinda bets but when someone puts them up and i fancy it then why not? Probably leave real out but fancy gers and barca.
Also if Andy Little is the main nan at the moment then why not back him to score the first goal within the first 10 mins for every game and increase the stakes. I mean surely he will score the first goal within 10 mins at some point. He is 16/1 to score so you could bet as follows;
1) £20 = £320 profit
2) £20 = £300 profit
3) £20 = £280 profit
4) £20 = £260 profit
5) £20 = £240 profit
6) £20 = £220 profit
7) £20 = £200 profit
8) £30 = £340 profit
9) £30 = £310 profit
10) £30 = £280 profit
What you guys think?
Chris, you might be surprised at how few goals Rangers score in the first 10 minutes. I think it’s one so far. Teams will be really up for facing Rangers so probably give their all at the start. More likely to score in last 10 minutes when players are tiring.
since ive joined this website ive done nothing but win money
Mr fixit u are a legend had 50 on little to score first!!
James, thanks. I’ll be an honest and say Little was the obvious choice but another poor away show by Rangers.
True honestly agree with you its everybody,s cup final playing rangers they will struggle away this season.
Joe if your going to put the double on you would be as well doing the £10 treble too
Looks good chris I might follow ur lead. Does noone else really fancy city on here I putting a whack on them should be easy I think!!!
Going to take that Little two or more offer. 5/1 is a great price.
David- I’ve backed City. I reckon Rodgers will be fine at Liverpool long term, but the players, particulalrly the defence, haven’t really adapted to his tactics yet.
Agreed robbie!
5/1 not available as only 7/2 online and 4/1 in the shop. They must have cut the price
My mistake it is online. But just a heads up only 4/1 in the shop. I have the following bets on:
£20 treble on Rangers, Barcelona and Resl Madrid to be winning after 30 mins.
£30 each way on Andy Little first goal @ 10/3
£20 on Andy Little to score first goal within 10 mins @ 16/1.
£20 on Andy Little to score 2 or more @ 5/1
£10 on Vincent Kompany first goal @ 40/1
£5 on Vincent Kompany last goal @ 40/1
Good luck to everyone.
It’s still the same club Derek. The company has changed but the club remains. Similar to what happened with Leeds, Napoli and Fiorentina. They’re still the same clubs.
Their fans have certainly stood by them also. I think their attendance at home to East Stirling was the highest attendance of any Scottish club this season, including Celtic on flag day.
I’ve decided to follow MrFixit on Rangers to score their first goal within the first 27 mins — 8/11 BetVictor.
Good luck all.
Bryan, it says Rangers on the coupon and that’s all we as punters are interested in.
Bryan we’ve had this arguement already on here and decided it best to leave it out of this site and concentrate on beatin the bookies :)
I done littlr two or more and rangers and barca winnin by 30 mins. Was at shops and seen hills offerin 8/5 for man city. Went in to put 50 on it but after lookin at coupon i got rush of blood and ended up with 20 on city -1 @ 7/2, 20 on city ht/ft @ 19/5 and 10 on stoke and city dble 21/10 + 8/5!! Regretted it as soon as walked out of shop as shuda stuck with my first bet!! Fingers crossed tho as think city team much superior and rodgers still to make his mark with his ideology and no big signings yet – agger also a big miss. Good luck all :)
Chris, Joe and everyone else, just back from the boy’s football so catching up with the comments. Good that Little scored, shame it didn’t come a wee bit earlier but even better if he nets again. I reckon the 5-1 for two or more will have been hammered especially as they were advertising. My first thought was Man City in the game later on but the stats say draw. Liverpool must improve but they play better against the bigger sides at Anfield.
Ah well no early goal but little goal just before ht is good news. Hopefully flood gates open and little gets another!!
Joe that was good with Little. If he scored a second goal I can imagine it would be a hefty payout for William Hill. Like you I have a couple of bets on the Man City game too. I think your bets for City to win should come up.
Paul, I was going to lump £200 on Rangers to be winning after 30 mins but glad I never. I think it’s only safe to do that when they are playing at ibrox.
I know east Stirling messed that up recently but think it was unfortunate circumstances. Good job picking out Little Paul.
Chris, I’m glad I didn’t go too big on an early Rangers goals. Away from home it seems to be taking them a while to break teams down. Little goal was great though, I really lumped on him and have taken 5-1 for two or more so fingers crossed.
come on guys this a betting site with tips not a chat room about the old firm ,a just want to bash the bookies ,ie lost ma everton tip a was greedy and doubled it with southampton
Had £37 each way on little to score first, so thanks for flagging him up. Have little 3-0 and 4-0 aswell
Terrible by rangers. They shoulb be passing these part time players off the park no lumping balls forward!
watched last ten mins on phone after seein berwick equalised and cant say was tgat impressed by rangers, cant get volume on phone but why was the berwick goal disallowed, couldnt see anything wrong there but berwick will be loving a replay at ibrpx
Craig, didn’t watch it after Little goal but was looking at live score every 10 minutes or so.
3 games in Scotland and 2 in England. Wish i had put a quid on 5 draws!!!
Joe, I put 75p perms on them all, leaving out Rangers, but having been putting up draws yet this season, although I took tipped it at Liverpool.
Bad day at the office for me. Trying to scrape some back. Barca 1 down now out to 11/5 -1.
Lol,I’m in the same boat as u Joe,backing Barca 2 win and -1. Still got Villa and Xavi on the bench,stranger things have happened…..
Come on Barca,1 more!
Has anyone else noticed that when Barcelona are playing away they quite often trail at half time then come back and win the game. Good price for double result.
Chris, I don’t know if it’s often but it happens.
Hi paul, Do you still do the line of the week prize? think i could be in with a shout this week if you do. I had 4x £5 trebles and £2.25 4fold on draws at Aberdeen, Motherwell, Stoke and Liverpool. Returned £961. Imagine if i’d added Berwick!!
I couldn’t even watch the end of the Liverpool game haha.
Andrew, I had the same line as you but for smaller stakes so we’ll share it! Contest is back for this season and if you send full details to mrfixit@dailyrecord.co.uk you will be entered.
Well done Andrew, remember we were splitting the winnings
Paul Paddy Power opening in Clydebank Shopping Centre in the old semi chem. been told by Ladbrokes manager today.
Chris, had heard they were going in there. Will need to pay it a visit.
