THE bookies were beaming at the weekend as the Old Firm came a cropper while both Edinburgh sides and Aberdeen also dropped points.
That helped to make it a bad weekend for me but it’s back on the horse this midweek for the League Cup quarter-finals.
Rangers host a Livingston side who did them a favour by beating rivals Celtic at the Tony Macaroni on Sunday.
Steven Gerrard’s men have gone two games without a win at Ibrox after losing to Lyon and drawing with Motherwell but are just 2/9 with McBookie for a victory tonight.
It’s three games without a clean sheet for Gers but I can see them winning to nil at home and that pays 17/20 at BetVictor.
Backing the champions to win at half-time and full-time also appeals at 10/11 with Mansionbet.
For a long-odds bet, Fashion Sakala scored a header at the weekend and is 12/1 with McBookie to nod home another.

There were plenty of cards in Sunday’s Dundee derby and this tie could also be fiery so backing a busy night for the ref may pay off.
Dens midfielder Shaun Bryne has three yellows for the season so looks a little overpriced at 10/3 with Bet365 to be carded.
