Hamilton v Celtic
Scottish Premiership, Saturday, Novermber 24, kick-off 12.30pm. Live on BT Sport 1
Albania couldn't stop him, Israel failed miserably. So what chance do Hamilton have.
We're talking about one man here. His name's Forrest … James Forrest.
As Premiership action returns all eyes on Saturday will be on the winger who has been elevated to Tartan Army hero status after two scintillating shows in the Nations League.
The Celtic star fired in five times to lead Alex McLeish's men to the play-offs and within two games of qualifying for Euro 2020.
It's back to the bread and butter for Forrest today with leaders Celtic heading to Hamilton in the lunchtime TV game.
I tipped Forrest at 4-1 to net against Israel and assuming he's not shattered he'll be tough to stop today.
Forrest is 24-13 at Unibet to net and 11-2 with McBookie to break the deadlock at the HopeCBD Stadium.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers isn't a fan of plastic pitches – last time out they drew 0-0 on Livingston's controversial surface – but his side have a great record in Hamilton having won five out of six and drawn the other.
The champions have netted nine in three visits and are evens at Paddy Power to score 3+ again and hopefully the international players who have been away will be ready to go again – the likes of Mikael Lustig, Ryan Christie and Callum McGregor.
Accies will be without skipper Darian Mackinnon and his fighting spirit in midweek will be missed.
Of course the away win is extremely short at 1-5 with Sky Bet so other bets to consider are Celtic/Celtic HT/FT at 4-6 with Ladbrokes and Celtic -2 at 13-8 with Paddy Power.
Recommended Bets
- Forrest to score (24-13, Unibet)
- Celtic -2 (13-8, Paddy Power)
