TONIGHT sees the second of the Scottish Cup replays as Kilmarnock host Aberdeen for a place in the last eight against last night's winners St Mirren.
Both sides are in decent enough form performance-wise and it's quite a tricky game to dissect but I've picked out two bets that I like the look of.
St Mirren v Hearts delivered another three winners yesterday in the Scottish Reserve League and that coupled with Monday's Belgium Reserve league it's been a great start to the week.
Kilmarnock vs Aberdeen (KO 7.45pm)
Both these sides were under a fair bit of pressure until only recently but wins for Killie against Hearts and Rangers and the Dons beating Hamilton and running Celtic close has kept the wolves at bay.
That said defeat for Aberdeen tonight would soon see the knives out for boss Derek McInnes. He will be delighted it's Killie they are playing, a side who sit proudly on his mantelpiece at home.
Aberdeen's record against Kilmarnock is somewhat extraordinary. McInnes has managed Aberdeen in 26 matches against Killie losing just once which is incredible (19 wins 6 draws) and they travel here off the back of a really good performance against Celtic in a match they deserved at least a point from.
Kilmarnock, after two great wins, went down 2-1 to a good Hibs side at the weekend and although I don't expect there to be much between the sides I'm taking Aberdeen to edge it (the Dons have won 12 of their last 13 trips to Rugby Park).
Both sides look like much more of an attacking threat and I think we'll see at least two goals scored.

Looks good Greg. The Dons seem to have turned a corner and if they stick with the same players that gave Celtic a game at Pittodrie then I can see them getting the job done tonight. Would like to see the starting line-ups before placing a bet but can see both teams scoring with Aberdeen edging the tie. Best of luck!
Thanks mate – its a tough one to call like you say they should get the job done if they replicate their recent performances.
That record as well – must be up there with the top bogey records in Scottish Football
Aberdeen I feel are a great bet tonight Greg.
Hopefully get a similar level performance to Sunday Jim
Can you put both bet builders together and a double then?
Forget it, just answered my own question!
Who won tonight’s match between Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, many thanks
Extra time being played.
FT: 4-3 Aberdeen – 1-1 at 90 minutes.
Well done to Greg with the Dons netting in the last minute of normal time and twice in the final two minutes of extra time.
Cheers ??
Sounds like a cracking match between Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, well done Greg, luck on our side tonight :-)
