The SPFL Premiership gets up and running tonight and new Rangers boss Derek McInnes has a tricky first game on the road at Dundee United.
McInnes came close to a stunning title success with Hearts last term, only to slip up in the final few minutes of their last-day decider at Celtic Park.
That has earned him the top job at Ibrox and he will be looking to avoid an early stumble at Tannadice, which hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Rangers of late.
Dundee United vs Rangers top betting tips
Rangers have only won on four of their last nine visits to Tannadice but Bet365 still make them 8/15 favourites tonight, with Jim Goodwin's men 9/2 outsiders.
That's probably down to the McInnes factor, although Dundee United were also pretty poor in some of their League Cup group games, needing a late penalty to sneak past Stirling Albion before losing on the road at Montrose.
So I fancy the Ibrox side to get off to a winning start tonight and combining the away win with under 3.5 goals pays a decent 7/4.
McInnes's sides are usually a big threat from set-pieces and Rangers have a big target to hit in Emmanuel Fernandez.
The centre back is 10/3 with Bet365 for anytime scorer while he's 5/6 with the same firm to have an effort on target.
Bodo/Glimt vs Lillestrom
Bodo/Glimt have surged to the top of Norway's top flight after a stunning run of form and should keep their winning streak going at home to Lillestrom tonight.
Kjetil Knutsen's men have gone eight game unbeaten since losing to Molde in early May and seven of those matches have ended in victories.
They've also won four on the spin so it's easy to see why Bet365 make them 1/4 hot favourites tonight.
Lillestrom's form isn't great, with three defeats in their last five, and they lost 2-0 at home to Bodo/Glimt earlier in the season.
So I'm going to back the league leaders for another win to nil, with that bet paying 6/4 at Bet365.
Patrick Berg netted in Bodo/Glimt's last home game and the midfielder is 11/4 for another strike tonight.
Drogheda United vs Shamrock Rovers
The league leaders are also in action in Ireland tonight as Shamrock Rovers look to open up a 10-point gap by beating struggling Drogheda United.
With title rivals St Patrick's Athletic and Bohemians not in action until Sunday, this is a great chance for Rovers to pile some pressure on.
They're up against a Drogheda side who sit third bottom, just four points above the drop zone, and the leaders are 3/4 favourites to rack up another three points.
But it will be interesting to see how Shamrock Rovers react after their heart-breaking aggregate loss to Ararat in the Champions League qualifiers in midweek.
It looked like the Irish side would take the tie to extra time after going 2-0 up, only to crash out when the Armenians scored a late goal.
That could be a tough blow to recover from and Drogheda may be worth a punt in the double chance tonight at 10/11.
I fancy goals at both ends in this one with Shamrock Rovers having weary legs and minds. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays 7/5 at Bet365.
