CELTIC remain my tips for the SPL title despite Rangers' capture of James Beattie.
Neil Lennon has made sound signings in the shape of Joe Ledley, Efrain Juarez and Gary Hooper and is hoping to shore up his defence by adding Sweden internationalist Daniel Majstorovic today.
But it's Rangers' first buy for two years that has caught the imagination. Former England star Beattie is expected to take over the mantle of Kris Boyd who departed for Middlesbrough after banging in 50 league goals in two seasons.
Bookies reckon ex-Stoke star Beattie will make his mark and he's 4-1 with Paddy Power and McBookie.com to be SPL top scorer.
Celtic's £2.5 million capture from Scunthorpe is also 4-1 with Paddy Power but he may be playing catch-up as he is out today and expected to miss the first two or three weeks of the season.
In a season-long match bet Beattie is 4-6 with bet365 to score more league goals than Hooper.
Beattie is expected to make his Rangers debut today and is 5-2 with William Hill to score first.
