Jan 6: Hibs v Dundee Utd Betting Preview
LEADERS Hibs face second-placed Dundee Utd at Easter Road in a game that could go a long way to deciding the Ladbrokes Championship. I tipped Hibs at the start of the season and they are just 4-6 with Paddy Power to finish top dogs. United, just one point adrift,...
Dec 30: Hearts v Aberdeen Betting Preview
FANS could be in for a Friday night firecracker with both sides in confident mood. Hearts finally handed Ian Cathro his first win on Tuesday and it was a fabulous 4-0 crushing of Kilmarnock. Aberdeen made it back-to-back victories as they edged out Hamilton and this one is tough...
Dec 24: Scottish Football Preview
WHILE most of Europe enjoys a couple of days off there is almost a full card in Scotland – and remember they kick off early. There were four Premiership matches last night and today why not accept a festive gift from McBookie who have enhanced a Celtic/Rangers double to...
Dec 23: Scottish Football Preview
TAKE away the games involving Celtic and Rangers and seven of the last eight Premiership fixtures have been draws. That shows how closely matched “the best of the rest” are and just 13 points separate third from bottom. So when you consider tonight's four matches they look difficult to...
Dec 20: Celtic v Partick Th Betting Preview
CELTIC thumped Partick Thistle less than two weeks ago and will hope for a similar sort of result tonight. It was 4-1 to the champions at Firhill although the Jags gave it a good go. The Hoops as usual are extremely short at 2-13 at Ladbrokes and backers of handicaps...
Dec 16: Hamilton v Rangers Betting Preview
IT seems unfair on Hamilton to play both halves of the Old Firm in the space of four midweek days. Accies gave it their best shot in losing 1-0 at Celtic on Tuesday and some players will be leggy ahead of tonight's clash with Rangers. The Ibrox side have...
Dec 13: UK Betting Preview
IT'S a busy midweek with a full card of Premier League games but only two tonight – Everton v Arsenal and Bournemouth v Leicester. Everton's loss to Watford at the weekend made it one win in nine after a good start and the pressure's starting to build on Ronald...
Dec 9: Partick Th v Celtic Betting Preview
ONLY fatigue can stop Celtic extending their lead at the top of the Premiership tonight. Brendan Rodgers's side face Partick Thistle just three days after a gruelling 90-minute battle with Man City. Celtic have handled their busy schedule with just two points dropped at Inverness and are unlikely to...
Dec 3: Scottish Football Preview
WITH the possibility Rangers can drop down to fourth in the Premiership on Saturday Scottish firm McBookie.com are asking where they will finish in the league. At the moment a second place is still favourite at 5-4 but that does make them odds on to finish further down the...
Nov 30: Hearts v Rangers Preview
WHILE Celtic play trophy monopoly Rangers have been using their get out of jail free card. Injury-time winners against Dundee and Partick Thistle have lifted the Ibrox men into second but they could be locked out of the points at Tynecastle tonight. Only three points separate Gers, Aberdeen and...
Nov 27: Betfred Cup Final Preview
BRENDAN RODGERS will be glad to see the back of Messi – now he can concentrate on cleaning up! The Celtic boss wants nothing less than a treble – that’s 11-5 at McBookie – and with the title almost won already he can lift trophy No.1 at Hampden. Aberdeen...
Nov 18: Killie v Celtic Betting Preview
CELTIC have been without 14 players this week – and Brendan Rodgers could leave them all out and still beat Killie tonight. That's the harsh reality with the champions in a league of their own this season. Rodgers has been moaning about playing a day early after the internationals...
Nov 5: Scottish Football Preview
THE title race is over after Celtic's defeat of Aberdeen last week – so what bets are on offer to make the Premiership interesting for the rest of the season? There is of course “the best of the rest market” which now sees Rangers as evens favourites ahead of...
Nov 4: Friday Football Preview
WITH just 10 points separating second place and bottom spot the Scottish Premiership has become a tough place to pick results. Take away Celtic and almost any team can beat another – even Dundee got in on the act last weekend at Hamilton to end a run of six...
Oct 26: Scottish Football Preview
CELTIC are possibly the shortest price they’ve been tonight for a trip to Dingwall. Anyone want to take them at a best 1-3 with Betfred? I said Aberdeen were too short at Hamilton last night and look what happened to them. The difference is Brendan Rodgers’s has a bigger...
Oct 24: Hamilton v Aberdeen Preview
ABERDEEN head for Hamilton tonight on a high – so let's hope they don't suffer a low. Teams often have a bad reaction to a big result and Derek McInnes must lift his men three days after reaching the Betfred Cup Final. The Dons weren't at their fluent best as...
Oct 23: Rangers v Celtic Preview
ABERDEEN as expected booked their place in the Betfred Cup semi-finals where they await the winners of Rangers v Celtic. I couldn't see past the Dons and backed Adam Rooney to score first at 7-2 but expected Morton to net. So now we turn to the big Old Firm...
Oct 22-23: Betfred Cup Semi-finals Preview
IT'S semi-final weekend in the Betfred Cup with Morton v Aberdeen followed by the big one – Rangers v Celtic. Scots firm McBookie.com go odds on it will be a Dons-Celtic final and offer 5-2 on Aberdeen-Rangers. Spokesman Paul Petrie said: “The odds suggest straightforward wins for both Aberdeen...
Sep 30: Motherwell v Hearts Betting Preview
BOOKIES have priced up tonight's Motherwell-Hearts games as if the Jambos were at home. Robbie Neilson's side are odds on – McBookie are best at 37-40 – and it feels wrong even though they don't get it wrong too often. Hearts haven't won at Fir Park since 2010 –...
Sep 24: Scottish Football Preview
ANYONE fancy Celtic for the Treble after being paired with Rangers in the Betfred Cup semis? Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com are offering 9-2 Celtic will win all the domestic trophies with Rangers 66-1. McBookie spokesman Paul Petrie said: “Despite hammering Rangers recently this is still the hardest tie for Celtic and we...
Sep 22: Aberdeen v St Johnstone Preview
CELTIC struggled past Alloa in the Betfred Cup to book a semi-final slot alongside Rangers and Morton. An Old Firm semi-final or final is a possibility but Aberdeen and St Johnstone will be hoping do something to stop the latter happening. The final quarter-final is the toughest to call...
Sep 21: Celtic v Alloa Betting Preview
THERE'S no doubt Brendan Rodgers will be eyeing up a treble but at the same time will have one eye on next week's Champions League tie with Man City. He must have been delighted to be handed a home Betfred Cup clash with League One Alloa and while everyone...
Sep 20: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
RANGERS face a test of nerve tonight when Queen of the South visit Ibrox in the Betfred Cup. All eyes will be on Mark Warburton's men as they aim to return to winning ways after a 0-0 home draw with Ross County followed a 5-1 Old Firm loss. Queens by...
Celtic v Rangers: Today’s the Day
THERE'S only one game in town today – OK two if you're a Man Utd or City fans – and let's hope we're talking about the football and nothing else after both big derbies. Although there's as much chance of that as Donald Trump booking a holiday to Mexico. From a...
Sep 10: Scottish Football Preview
THERE are other games in Scotland today apart from Celtic v Rangers although it would be easy to forget. Aberdeen haven't got off to the best of starts but I fancy them at 5-6 with William to beat Inverness at home although they have a poor record against the...
Celtic v Rangers: 1 Day To Go
JOEY BARTON is 8-1 favourite with McBookie.com to pick up the first card in the Celtic v Rangers match on Saturday. He is followed in the betting by Andy Halliday and Scott Brown on 10-1. The Scouse midfielder is 6-5 to be booked on his Old Firm debut. Paul...
Celtic v Rangers: 3 Days To Go
WILLIE COLLUM must have looked at the weekend Premiership card and thought, “Dundee v Killie, maybe Partick Thistle v St Johnstone. No dramas there.” Instead he's being thrown into the cauldron that's Celtic Park to take charge of the first Old Firm league game for five years. Collum is...
Sep 3: UK Betting Preview
CELTIC and Rangers don't play this weekend but all the talk has been about the prices for next Saturday's Old Firm game. Odds were released earlier in the week with Celtic 4-5 with some firms including McBookie – but that didn't last long. That price looked big to me...
Aug 26: Killie v Rangers Betting Preview
RANGERS fans are enjoying seeing their side sitting at the top of the Premiership but there's no doubt the fixtures computer has been kind to them. Hamilton, Dundee, Motherwell and now Kilmarnock away has eased them back into the top flight with four games against sides unlikely to finish...
Aug 10: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
BRENDAN RODGERS had a Scottish football baptism of fire on Sunday at Tynecastle – but should find it more relaxed tonight. Celtic overcame the award of a dodgy penalty to win late on in a fiery encounter that saw 11 players booked. The Hoops are in Betfred Cup action...
Aug 9: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
WE'VE reached the last-16 stage of the Betfred Cup where Celtic, Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs enter the fray. We've already lost holders Ross County who went out in the group stage and there have been plenty of shocks. However, this is where form will settle down and all teams...
Jul 30: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
IT'S the final round of the group stage of the Betfred Cup with teams vying to finish top or claim one of four best second places. Also the four best group winners will be seeded for the last 16 alongside Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs – and Rangers have...
Jul 26: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
RANGERS booked their place in the last 16 of the Betfred Cup and will be seeded after winning their group. There are another 12 ties tonight with several sides looking to book their East Fife have been the surprise team of the Betfred Cup and can clinch a last-16 place...
Jul 25: Rangers v Stranraer Betting Preview
Rangers have enjoyed the Betfred Cup more than most and are the only side to have won their first three games. Motherwell apart they haven't been tested and the only criticism of Mark Warburton's men is they should have beaten Annan and East Stirling much more convincingly. Three clean sheets...
Jul 23: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
THE Betfred Cup continues with some top ties including Inverness v Dundee Utd, Hamilton v St Mirren and St Johnstone v Falkirk. Caley Thistle and United were top-flight rivals last season and United have lost on just one of their four visits to Inverness. Both are rebuilding and United...
Jul 22: East Stirling v Rangers Betting Preview
GAMES are coming fast and furious for Mark Warburton's side as they build up to their big-time return in the Premiership. Rangers hardly broke sweat as they added a second Betfred Cup win against Annan in midweek and it should be more of the same against East Stirling tonight. Most...
Jul 19: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
THERE were several shocks in the opening Betfred Cup sparrings and it's clear some clubs are using the group stage as prep for the league season. For that reason these ties should be played for low stakes and big accumulators are to be avoided. Rangers are one side who...
Jul 16: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
THE new-look Betfred Cup launched last night and results proved betting on early games must be done for low stakes. Favourites Partick Thistle and Raith beat lowly opposition by one goal away from home while Dundee United were held at Arbroath but won a penalty shoot-out for a bonus point....
Jul 15: Betfred Cup Betting Preview
CELTIC have shown there's no such thing as a cert but tonight I fancy the favourites to make winning starts to their Betfred Cup campaigns. The new-look tournament kicks off with three ties including Arbroath v Dundee United in Group C live on BT Sport. Tonight's other games see...
May 22: Killie v Falkirk Betting Preview
THE final match of the Scottish season takes place on Sunday with Kilmarnock trailing Falkirk 1-0 from the first leg of their Premiership play-off final. After the drama of Saturday's Scottish Cup Final that saw Hibs salvage something from a potentially horrible campaign what can we expect at Rugby...
May 21: Scottish Cup Final Preview
YOU could have got 6-1 on a Scottish Championship side lifting the Scottish Cup while it was a massive 40-1 for Hibs and Rangers meeting in Saturday's final. Now McBookie.com make Rangers the red-hot 2-5 favourites to lift the trophy ay Hampden. Hibs can be backed at 7-4. McBookie spokesman Paul...
May 19: Falkirk v Kilmarnock Preview
IT would take a brave man to pick a winner of the Premiership play-off final … Falkirk and Kilmarnock are tough to split and it could be a tie that goes all the way to the death on Sunday. The Bairns battled brilliantly to edge out Hibs in the semis...
May 15: UK Betting Preview
PEP GUARDIOLA will be Manuel Pellegrini’s biggest fan if he hands Man City a farewell gift on Sunday. The minute Pep decided to take the job next season he would have been planning a Champions League assault. But if City lose at Swansea and Man United beat Bournemouth the...
May 11: UK Football Betting Preview
IT'S D-Day for Newcastle and Norwich and there's nothing they can do to stop Sunderland sealing their Premier League fate. Sunderland need to beat Everton at send down their biggest rivals as well as Norwich. Sam Allardyce's men have looked the best of the troubled trio in recent weeks and are...
May 10: UK Football Betting Preview
BIGGEST game of the night is the final one at Upton Park before West Ham move to their new stadium. Man United visit knowing they'll clinch fourth spot at the expense of Man City if they win their final two matches – and it's Bournemouth at home on Sunday....
May 6: ICT v Dundee Utd Preview
I'VE enjoyed a good week on the Scottish card with wins for the likes of Dundee, Ayr and Raith. I was on Rovers to beat Hibs at 19-5 and took them draw no bet at 12-5 as a Super Single. Monday's top tip was Dundee -1 and while it never came...
May 2: Dundee v Dundee Utd Betting Preview
THEY say don't bet on derbies but tonight that advice goes out the window. I'm always reluctant about picking a winner when two arch rivals meet but I can't see Dundee United stopping the rot at Dundee. United will be relegated to the Scottish Championship if they don't win and...
Bookies set to pay £20m on Foxes
BOOKIES say they'll fork out £20million today if Leicester win the Premier League – but they're not telling us how much they've clawed back from antepost best on the likes of Man City and Chelsea. Lucky 15s will have been ripped up and it's unlikely anyone included the Foxes...
Apr 22: St Johnstone v Aberdeen Preview
AFTER last weekend's drama there's not much to be excited about looking at tonight's Premiership encounter – unless you believe the Aberdeen can still top the table. That would require them to win their remaining games and Celtic lose three and deny boss Ronny Deila a title-winning send-off. No matter how poor...
Celtic: Next Boss Betting Latest
RONNY DEILA'S revelation he'd leave Celtic at the end of the season surprised no one – so who's next for the Parkhead hotseat? Deila will land a second title before he goes but with Rangers in the lower leagues that was never going to be good enough and he's...
Apr 20: Hibs v Rangers Betting Preview
ONE day it was Hibs and the next it was Rangers' turn – going 120 minutes at Hampden before winning a Scottish Cup semi-final on penalties. Both victories were as dramatic as the other and how they react is anyone's guess. As luck would have it the finalists are...
Apr 10: Rangers v Peterhead Betting Preview
RANGERS lifted their first piece of silverware on Tuesday and can follow the Championship with their first Petrofac Training Cup success. They tackle League One Peterhead at Hampden and the Blue Toon are off form after back-to-back defeats against Forfar and Cowdenbeath without scoring. The sides have met four...
Apr 9: Scottish Football Betting Preview
THE pressure has eased on Celtic after Aberdeen crashed to a shock defeat at Hearts. How they must hate playing sick teams. My tips on the game landed – both to score at 10-11 and Simon Church at 9-5 – and Celtic will feel much better about themselves as...
Apr 8: Hearts v Aberdeen Betting Preview
A GOOD fit side should beat a good sick side but Aberdeen will be wary of a wounded animal. The Dons travel to a Hearts outfit who didn't play on Tuesday after a gastroenteritis bug swept through the club. But remember when Motherwell had similar problems last month, couldn't...
Apr 5: Scottish Football Betting Preview
IT'S all about titles on Tuesday for two clubs who will renew their Old Firm rivalry next Sunday and all next season. After missing out on clinching promotion by seconds at the weekend Rangers will clinch the Championship title tonight to ease the pain of such a near miss....
April 2: Scottish Football Betting Preview
SCOTTISH firm McBookie.com are offering 3-1 Celtic will beat their points total of last season – 92. That will mean Ronny Deila’s men must win their final eight games starting today with Hearts at home. Winning all eight is a tall order but I'm on them to pick up a full...
March 26 – Scottish Football Betting Preview
AT the start of the season most people looking at the Championship saw two stick-on bets – Rangers to win the title and Hibs to finish second. The first one is set to land at short odds but Hibs are making a mess of their side of the bargain...
Mar 25: Desmond’s Goals Tips
DESMOND has posted his 2+ goals tips and here some other bets he likes this weekend. All of his matches are in England on Good Friday and finish with the live match in League One at Peterborough. For a both to score double he's taking games at Colchester and...
Mar 19: Scottish Football Betting Preview

Mar 19: Desmond’s Goals Tips
DESMOND has posted his 2+ goals tips and here some other nets he likes this weekend. For a both to score double he's taking a game from England's League One and another from the Scottish Premiership. First up it's Fleetwood v Barnsley with the last two meetings between the...
Mar 16: Scottish Football Preview
HIBS v Ross County was a hard-fought League Cup Final and you have to wonder what it's taken out of both sides. Let's start with winners Ross County who netted a last-minute clincher to break Hibees hearts. It's been just three days since their Hampden heroics and they head to a St Johnstone...
Mar 13: Scottish League Cup Final Preview
HIBS take on Ross County in the League Cup Final at Hampden today and it's a tough one to call. McBookie.com are offering 60-1 Hibs can complete the treble of promotion, League Cup and Scottish Cup – and while a trophy would be the icing on the cake I'm...
Scottish Cup: It’s Rangers v Celtic
OLD FIRM fans won't need to wait until next season for the next Glasgow derby – there will be one next month. Celtic beat Morton 3-0 with the help of a Leigh Griffiths (above) goal and will now face Rangers in the semi-finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup....
Mar 5-6: Scottish Cup Betting Preview
IF Rangers beat Dundee today the chances of an Old Firm Scottish Cup semi-final will shorten. It's a big if though because as long as Dundee are brave and don't hide they should give Rangers a serious test at Ibrox today. McBookie.com go 3-1 on an Old Firm final...
Mar 5: Desmond’s Two 2-2s Goals Tips
DESMOND would love to land a winner after a couple of barren weeks – and Saturday could be the day. He says: Two teams I like the look of at good prices are Sheffield Wednesday and Hearts. First up are an Owls side at home to Rotherham. The Owls...

Feb 27: Scottish Football Betting Preview
MORTON pulled off one of the biggest shocks of the season in midweek when they beat Hibs 3-0 away. The Greenock men were as big as 16-1 so you can imagine the price they were -2. McBookie now go 2-1 that treble-cashing Hibs end the season empty-handed. The Easter...
February 26: Hamilton v Celtic Betting Preview
BOOKIES are running scared of Celtic tonight after their 8-1 demolition job of Hamilton. Finding value for their trip to New Douglas Park is difficult when they're priced up at a best 1-4 with Coral. Those odds force punters to look at the handicap betting but Celtic have won...
Feb 20: Scottish Football Betting Preview
LEIGH GRIFFITHS is again favourite to score first for Celtic today and McBookie have priced up the 30-goal striker to reach the 50-mark before the end of the season. It pays just 5-1 while a more realistic 40 is certainly achievable at 8-11 but he has to stay clear...
Feb 19: Partick Th v Aberdeen Betting Preview
IT could be Firhill for nils tonight as Aberdeen try to reignite their fading title challenge. The Dons need the points after collapsing at Inverness on Monday but could be frustrated by the stuffy hosts on a gluepot pitch. Six of the last seven meetings between the sides have...
Feb 15: Inverness v Aberdeen Betting Preview
CELTIC have answered Aberdeen's title challenge with three points – but the Dons can draw level again tonight. Derek McInnes's men face a tough test at Inverness but it's one they can pass. Aberdeen haven't beaten the Highlanders this season with a defeat away and draw at home and they'll be...
Feb 13: Scottish Football Betting Preview
IT'S a big weekend in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic trying to move three points clear of Aberdeen and pile the pressure on the Dons who travel to Inverness on Monday. There are some big games at the other end of the table with Dundee United showing signs of...
Feb 12: Dundee v St Johnstone Preview
EARLIER in the week St Johnstone fan Greg Browning commented Montrose couldn't defend on the road – and they promptly conceded seven at Stirling. I wonder what he'd say about his own side who conceded four at home to Aberdeen last week and nine in total in their last...
Feb 10: Ross County v Hearts Betting Preview
WE'VE seen two faces of Ross County recently – the well-oiled machine that beat Celtic and the broken one that struggled past Linlithgow Rose. Both cup games ended in victory but the 3-1 defeat of Celtic to reach the League Cup Final was night and day compared to the...
Feb 6: Scottish Football Betting Preview
ABERDEEN are trying to replicate the Leicester fairytale down south and will go joint top of the Premiership if they win at St Johnstone today. McBookie.com have cut them from 20-1 to 9-1 for the title after their midweek win over Celtic. That defeat has meant the bookies are...
