ABERDEEN’S SOS to Neil Warnock promised to provide plenty of excitement for Scottish football and the old soldier certainly hasn’t disappointed so far.
Wednesday’s bonkers 3-3 draw with Motherwell was one of the games of the season. Warnock provided a quote that’s unlikely to be beaten when he compared our budget VAR system with the Horizon software that caused chaos at the Post Office.
It didn’t take Warnock as long as Royal Mail to spot something was seriously wrong with his malfunctioning three-man defence in midweek as he subbed two players after watching the Dons fall 3-0 behind inside 26 minutes.
Duk was one of the players he threw on and the maverick forward delivered quicker than a postie on steroids as he scored inside a minute to spark a remarkable comeback.The former Benfica kid ended up with two goals and that should be enough to earn him a start today when Hibs come calling.
Nick Montgomery’s men won 3-1 at Inverness in the Cup last week but have gone seven games without a victory in the Premiership. That has mostly been down to a dodgy defence so we should see a few goals at Pittodrie today.
Duk’s tail will be up and he looks good value at 5/2 (Bet365) for anytime scorer provided Warnock rewards him with a start.BTTS and over 2.5 goals are both odds-on at McBookie but if you combine them in a bet builder it pays a tempting 109/100.
Rangers’ midweek win over Ross County has made the title race tighter than the waistbands of Texan holiday makers who have just laid waste to the hotel breakfast buffet, leaving you with only the yoghurt and cereal to choose from.
Celtic remain top but only by virtue of goals scored and have a tricky game today at home to bogey team Kilmarnock. The mid-season wobble that opened a door for Rangers can be traced back to December’s defeat at Rugby Park, where a Nat Phillips own goal sparked a second-half collapse. That’s part of a 12-game run that has seen Derek McInnes’ men lose just once – to Rangers at Ibrox – but McBookie still make Kilmarnock 12/1 outsiders with the Hoops at 1/5.
Going for corners usually pays off with Rodgers’ side and over 11.5 flag kicks pays 26/25 here with Unibet – a bet that has landed in five of the last six Celtic games. With the champions having most of the ball it could also pay to back Killie at -1 in the card handicap (13/10, Bet365).
Rangers are in Perth tomorrow and their last three mettings with St Johnstone have ended in 2-0 victories. Saints have generally been pretty solid since Craig Levein took charge so a Gers win with under 3.5 goals looks good here. Levein’s side sit third bottom but have a five-point cushion from the drop zone with Ross County and Livingston being cut adrift.
Livi find themselves six points behind the Staggies but performances have picked up a bit of late and they came from 2-0 down to knock Partick Thistle out of the Cup last weekend. St Mirren come calling today and their last two meetings have been tight, with a 1-1 draw at the Tony Macaroni followed by a 1-0 Buddies victory in Paisley. The half-time draw appeals today at evens with SkyBet while the same firm price over 10.5 corners at a tempting 5/4.
County are away to Dundee and combing over 2.5 goals with BTTS pays 13/10 at Paddy Power, with that bet landing in two of the last three games for the Dark Blues.
The other Premiership game today sees Hearts host a Motherwell team who have scored eight goals in their last two league games. That makes BTTS appealing at evens with Betfair.
In the English Premier League, Liverpool's quest for dominance faces a stern test as they visit Brentford, with the London side proving formidable against strong opponents. With Brentford's recent resurgence and Liverpool's occasional defensive lapses, an exciting encounter with goals expected awaits, favouring an away win with both teams finding the net.
Leeds United aim to maintain their unstoppable momentum as they face Plymouth Argyle, who have struggled for consistency recently. With Leeds' solid defence and impressive away form, they are heavily favoured to secure another victory, potentially with a clean sheet, while Crysencio Summerville remains a key figure in their attack.
Tottenham Hotspur aim to bolster their Champions League aspirations as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers, known for their unpredictable performances. With Spurs' attacking prowess and Wolves' tendency for away wins, an entertaining clash is expected, potentially featuring goals at both ends.

No joy with these today, PL treble came close but a Spurs goal short.
Well done any winners, think most were on O2.5 MGls (ex Forest game)
Simple double for me today –
Spurs over 1.5 goals
Man City over 1.5 goals
Currently evs, should fly in.
Could be plenty of goals in the prem again today , macca tipped it yesterday looks very possible and I’m on it aswel , all prem games over 2.5 apart from the forest game i got just under 10/1 ,
I’ll have a dabble too but I’ll be including the Forest game. West Ham have seen 3+ in 10 of their 12 Premier League away days, Forest seen 3+ in 6 of their last 7 league games
I could have easily included the Forest game but after such an unacceptable result against Arsenal last time out Moyes will be demanding a clean sheet.
Like you say Wee Joe the forest game could easily see overs aswel but just looking at them that’s the one game that stands out we’re it could be tight , I can see all the others seeing 3 and 4 goals , goodluck anyway lads ,
They’ll have to go some for that too happen. Forest have scored in 10 of 12 at home, West Ham conceded in 11 of 12 aways.
It’ll make no difference to you with not including it,standard it’ll end 0-0 and blow my effort ? best of luck Macca
Kilmarnock 10/11, St.Johnstone 7/10 + Burnley 4/6 . 4.41./1.Treb. All to get at least 1 corner each half.Gid luck today.
Killie /Burnley part won. Sts the morra.
Match result & BTTS
Liverpool 13/8
Arsenal 19/10
Spurs 6/4
Man City 7/5
Any 3 & all 4 @44/1 (5 bets)

PREDICTION 1-1
my local team Ayr United were backed down from 13/5 last Monday to an opening price of 2/1 before their away win at Airdrie today with Bet365
lot of money in the town on them during the Week.
Next Saturday they are 5/2 at home to Raith Rovers.. they were 3/1 around 17.00 tonight..
Big change in the club since Scott Brown and Stephen Whittaker took over, things like training lasting an hour more than previous Managers..
PSG to win and BTTS
Atalanta -1
Missed penaltie downs this one. Close but no cigar
Atalanta, PSG, Porto and Heerenveen all to win and BTTS 80/1 for 4 out of 4. Boylesports ?
