BIG game tonight is Aberdeen v Rangers but the biggest profit could be at Kilmarnock.
Bookies have priced up Killie too big at home to basement boys St Johnstone and punters have been weighing in.
The Rugby Park men opened at 11-10, were trading tonight at 19-10 with Ladbrokes and will go off shorter.
Saints defended woefully in Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Motherwell and have conceded nine in three. and we all know Greg's thoughts on his struggling team.
I can't see past Killie and since they've won their last three meetings at Rugby Park by 2-0 consider that at 7-1 with McBookie.
Four days before the Betfred Cup Final Rangers face a tougher test at Aberdeen than rivals Celtic who are at home to Hamilton.
Steven Gerrard's men must have one eye on Hampden but can't afford to slip up in the title race.
I'm backing them at 1-2 with McBookie but it could be close. Alfredo Morelos has had his moments against the Dons but this season is focused on cards and not goals and can't be ignored at evens with bet365 to score.
Aberdeen were thrashed 5-0 at Ibrox and are as big as 11-2 with Ladbrokes. Top scorer Sam Cosgrove is 5-2 to net at any time and and while Gers have lost one in seven at Pittodrie they've conceded there in the last six.
Celtic are unlikely to risk hitman Odsonne Edouard against Accies and may rest others so check the line-up before you decide how many they'll win by.
On the handicaps Celtic -2 is probably okay on accas at 4-6 with McBookie as long as at least half the regulars start.
Mikey Johnston returned from injury to net against Rennes and Ross County and if he starts could bea shout for the opener at 9-2 with Paddy Power.
Elsewhere I like both to score at Ross County v Hibs – County's last six have totalled 25 and it's the same for Hibs' last five.
Jack Ross has improved Hibs but they're still conceding and at the weekend drew 2-2 with Kilmarnock after giving away a second in injury time.
Hearts will struggle until a new man is in the dugout – looks like ex-Barnsley boss Daniel Stendl – will be that man at the weekend – so consider Livingston +1 at Tynecastle at 3-4 with Coral.

Has to be cards and a penalty bet at pittodrie. Aberdeen have statistically the highest foul count in the league and saw yellow 8 times in one game v Rangers last year. Something like 6 reds and 6 pens across their fixtures last season. 40+ booking points, a red card in game, Mckenna and Morelos to be booked, and a penalty in game. Weren’t odds earlier but will be looking tomorrow. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Gerrard leave Morelos out to avoid losing him for the cup final. It’s going to be ugly.
Celtic I have -3 at 2-1 but looking back on h2h stats the margin tends to be less than that even for home games v Accies so I may have been too bullish. Accies have 5 reds already this season so betbuilder of red card in game plus Forrest ags should be worth a nibble.
