IT was a terrific night for punters betting on the Hearts vs Celtic game on Wednesday with 6 cards, 2 goals 9 corners and a Celtic win to leave bookies running for cover, especially with the likes of Brown and MacLean making their way into the referee's book.
Friday night sees the second Edinburgh vs Glasgow battle this week as Rangers roll into the capital to play Hibs at Easter Road and know they can't afford any slip-ups.
Again, this looks like an ideal candidate for a betbuilder – we mentioned these on this week's Gambla Betting Podcast so give it a listen.
French and Dutch leagues are reduced due to the midweek cup action bit still enough games to have a look at.
Hibs vs Rangers (7.45pm)
This should be a cracker and I'd expect a similar outcome to Wednesday's Hearts v Celtic match in terms goals, cards and corners.
Steven Gerrard's team are now 5 points behind Celtic and the pressure is on to make sure they leave Leith with three points.
It's not going to be a walk in the park for Rangers as Hibs have improved massively since Paul Heckingbottom left, Jack Ross is at the helm now and will be pleased with what he has seen.
They've only lost once at home this season and face a Rangers side missing their prize asset Alfredo Morelos – Defoe will take his place (not a bad replacement eh). I think Rangers will edge this by a goal and I feel they'll need to score at least twice to win this as Hibs are a real goal threat at home especially with Flo Kamberi and Christian Doidge forming a terrific partnership.
Won't be short of cards in this game with plenty of candidates for a booking – throw in some corners (would expect both sides to contribute), it makes for some strong looking betbuilders.
There's two I really like (bet365, I've created over 1.5 goals, over 3.5 cards, over 7.5 corners side at 19-20) but going to opt for Sky Bet's requestabet.
Will wait for team news but could be worth throwing in a couple of players to be booked into a betbuilder.
Recommended Bets
- Over 1.5 match goals
- 3+ cards
- 3+ corners each side
- 10/11 (Skybet) (NAP)
Only 7 games in French Ligue 2 – some decent sides in action and worth taking for total goals.
17+ goals pays 11/10 (Sky Bet).

Hope you’re keeping well Greg!?!
Just a heads-up – Bet365 Builder has over 1 goal, over 2 corners each team and over 0 cards for both teams combined at 10/11. That’s two less cards to worry about for the same bet!
Better odds on bet builder. 21/20
Greg what players do
You fancy for cards.
I like McGregor anytime at 18/1 and to be sent soft
Probably went against the grain & only because the prices are too big, I’ve bet Both score & draw @ 5/1 & both score & Hibs @ 10/1(both Bet365). Hibs have improved lots under Jack Ross & with Morelos missing I thought there was a bit of value there, as always time will tell.
Thanks for your input and tips as always Greg, long term follower but don’t often comment.
For anyone who does over 0.5 goals in the first half of all the French games it’s 24/1 boosted with Ladbrokes.
Fair enough Duncan but not sure about the corners in this game..be tight affair,but good luck anyhoooo
Hibs/Gers
Over 1.5 cards for each team 3/1 @ #GETAPRICE Ladbrokes
Hibernian Over 1.5 bookings, Rangers Fc (Glasgow) Over 1.5 bookings and Over 7.5 corners boosted to 17/4 from 4/1 GL
How do I get the total matchday goals market on skybet? Someone please help…
