Giovanni Van Brockhorst faces the tough task of lifting his Rangers side for this afternoon's Scottish Cup final following the heartbreak of their Europa League defeat on Wednesday.
Aaron Ramsay's spot-kick miss proved decisive in the penalty shoot-out but the Gers have the chance to redeem themselves and finish the season with some silverware today.
Standing in their way are Hearts who will be hoping for a repeat of their 1998 Scottish Cup win over the Gers. The Jambos enjoyed an excellent season in the Premiership, finishing third and were clearly the best of the rest behind Celtic and Rangers.
They can be forgiven for winning just one game in five post-split, their work was done by that point and all thoughts would have been on today.
They were priced around the 5/1 mark to win inside the 90 minutes and that's been nibbled at, especially after a gruelling 120 minutes in the Andalucian sun for Rangers, and they're just over 4/1 now with a few bookies although at the time of writing you can still get 49/10 at SBK.
You can get 5/2 on the Jam Tarts to lift the trophy for the third time this century and that'll be popular among fans.
As you'd expect, Rangers are short favourites at 8/15 to win it in 90, and just 2/7 to lift the 149-year-old trophy but they'll be more fragile than usual following their midweek disappointment.
The first goal could be crucial at Hampden. If Hearts get their noses in front it could feel like a long way back for a weary Rangers who'd need to chase the game. But if Rangers can score first first they've demonstrated a doggedness to dig in and exploit teams coming at them.
Rangers have conceded in 13 of their last 15 matches and a Hearts goal is priced at 1/2, to score one in the first half they're a tasty looking 7/4.
It could be an open game and that sentiment is echoed at the bookies who have Over 2.5 Goals at just 8/13 and Both Teams to Score at a measly 7/10. However, first half goals appeal with Over 1.5 at 11/8. That's a bet that's landed in six of Rangers' last 10 domestic matches and in 42% of their Premiership matches, and in 39% of Hearts league games.
All eyes will be on the aforementioned Aaron Ramsay who can redeem himself with a goal at 2/1 but the value must lie with Rangers' penalty king James Tavernier who is 13/2 to open the scoring and 11/8 to net anytime. Alternatively, a penalty to be awarded in the match is 2/1.
Hearts top scorer Liam Boyce is understandably their shortest priced player to grab a goal at 5/2 but Everton's Ellis Sims could be a threat and if he starts the 9/1 on him scoring first will tempt a few Jambos.

Lillestrom over 0.5tgs & over 5.5 team corners @ 5/4 (bet365) Nb
Lillestrom are in form and have scored in every league game so far as well as continually notching a few corners. Can see more of the same against an out of sorts Sandefjord team.
Small stakes/last day of the league
German oberliga Bayern north

Both leagues all over 2.5mgs @ 726/1 (bet365)
In the penultimate round the Bayern north league missies this by one game/one goal, and the southern league missied it by 3 games/3 goals. Let’s hope one or the other goes better today with it being the last games of the season.
Good luck all 🤞

No football fixtures really taking my fancy today so I’m sticking with rugby, after a few nice wins lately.
🏴Scarlets v Stormers 🇿🇦
🏉United Rugby Championship
📅Today @ 17:10
🔘Bet 1: over 49.5 match points: 4/5 (Skybet)
💰NAP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🔘Bet 2: each team 1+ try each half: 6/5 (Skybet)
💰NB ⭐️⭐️⭐️
🔘Bet 3: each team 2+ tries each half: 12/1 (Skybet)
💰Long shot ⭐️
This is a big game for both sides. The Scarlet’s know a win means European champions cup rugby next year and the Stormers know a win guarantee’s a home tie in the URC play offs.
The scarlets don’t really do defence, their last 8 games have all cleared the 50 point barrier, averaging 66 points per game. I can’t see them tightening the defence against a bruising and free scoring Stormers side.
We saw in last nights Ospreys game that the South Africans have come to play. They’ll be confident of scoring plenty of tries against a terribly weak scarlets defence and I’ve got a feeling this is going to be one of those ‘you score 5, we’ll score 8’ type games with the Stormers winning but both teams scoring plenty.
I predict tries – for both teams – and an entertaining tie from the first whistle in the Llanelli sunshine.
Good luck all.
One more from me…
🇮🇪Leinster v Munster 🇮🇪
🏉United Rugby Championship
📅Tonight @ 19:15
🏴Newcastle v Leicester
🏉English Premiership
Today @ 15:00
🔘Bet: Leicester and Munster both to win: 20/21 (Ladbrokes)
💰4 points ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m surprised to see Munster as generous as 4/7 today. I know it’s Leinster and I know it’s technically Leinster’s home game but it’s being played at the Aviva so it’s essentially a neutral venue. But the most important factor here – Leinster have rested their entire squad. This is a second string/youth team playing.
Leinster are resting all their big guns for next weekends European Cup final. The game is also a dead rubber for them as they’ve already won the league, whereas Munster need the win to secure a home URC semi final.
This is pretty much a full strength Munster team, full of internationals who should have way too much for Leinster’s youngsters and second string. I contemplated putting the -5.5 handicap but as soon as I saw Leicester were 1/4 to beat an abysmal Newcastle team, I went for the win double instead.
Leicester Tigers know a win guarantees them 1st place and I can’t see past them today. They play a Newcastle team who’ve lost their last 6 league games at home, including a soul destroying 14-42 home loss last time out v mid table London Irish.
Leicester have selected a near full strength team and should win comfortably if things go to form.
Afternoon gents,
I’m taking on the League One Playoff Final and fancy it to be a tight one – the full time draw tempts with a winner on penalties and that will form my Nb and Longshot.

Lyon to score a 4th goal anytime is 5/6… seems too good not to jump on it?
All 3 of their goals have been nicely separated with 3 different scorers and not one was a penalty
Fuming with that, not a goal from either side in the 2nd half!
I had them doubled with a 7/5 winner too :(
I might have been mad and it lost but I don’t think it was a bad shout given the 1st half

Juventus are also some price away to Fiorentina, I can only assume based on the fact Fiorentina need points and Juventus don’t. Fiorentina in poor form though and Juve been scoring goals recently and playing a strong team, so will be on these as well
Juve win 16/5
Juve score 2+ 9/4

Over 0.5 FHG in French Ligue 1 just came in 👍 😉
What odds did you get Chris? Skybet was 10/1
Went with William Hill. They’ve been running some really good Enhanced Odds offers on their home page recently:
Offer 7 – A Goal In The 1st Half In Each Of Saturday’s 10 French Ligue 1 Matches – Was 16/1 – Now 18/1 Enhanced Odds
They’ve just put up tomorrow’s batch, and have a similar one for the Premier League:
Offer 2 – A Goal In The 1st Half In Each Of Sunday’s 10 Premier League Matches – Was 16/1 now 18/1
If anyone is looking for the GIBH market, Hills seems about the best for that too by a country mile. For example, GIBH for all 10 Premier League games tomorrow is 120/1 with Hills (unboosted) but just 50/1 SkyBet (and that’s a “special”!)
Massive difference will be opening a hills account.
96/1 for GIBH french league 1 tonight, Lille is the only one letting it down at the min, cumon 2 feck!
There she blows
Must heard me talking bout em, just scored😁😁

Disappointing not to see the NAP land with so many points coming in the first half.
Munster need to hang their heads in shame. Hugely disappointing from them not beating a Leinster youth team. Slightly down today. Bounce back tomorrow.
