Having landed yet another winner in his featured column on Saturday, SlipsTips shares a double ahead of Sunday's round of Scottish Premiership fixtures.
Livingston vs Rangers (Sunday, 12:00)
Rangers will be looking to tighten their hold on top spot in the Scottish Premiership when they lock horns with Livingston on Sunday lunchtime.
This will mark Giovanni van Bronkhorst's first league game in charge of the Light Blues and the Dutchman is faced with the tricky test of taking on a Livi side in the midst of a five-game unbeaten run.
The Scottish champions are heavily fancied to bank all three points here at a general 1/3, but I'm going to back David Martindale's hosts to collect two or more bookings as the first half of a 4/5 (PaddyPower) double.
The Lions are averaging 2.38 yellow cards per-game in the Scottish Premiership this season and they may deploy the dark arts here in an attempt to tame the Teddy Bears.
Martindale's men racked up five up cards against Rangers in August's reverse fixture and subsequently collected two cautions when they revisited Ibrox in the Premier Sports Cup just one month later.
What's more, Rangers have been handed a bumper allocation of tickets in West Lothian on Sunday, so a boisterous Light Blues crowd could impose influence over referee David Munro who is averaging north of four cards per 90 this term.
Aberdeen vs Celtic (Sunday, 15:00)
Celtic will endeavour to return to winning ways when they play host to Aberdeen at Parkhead in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.
I've covered this clash in more detail in a separate match preview but I'm also going to factor this fixture into the aforementioned 4/5 (PaddyPower ) double by backing the Dons to collect two or more cards during this contest.
Aberdeen continue to underperform and are sat in 8th place in the Scottish top-flight, with just five points between them and the relegation zone.
Unfortunately for Stephen Glass, it does not look like his side will get much in the way of respite this weekend when they come up against the division's top scorers.
Aberdeen are averaging a league-high three yellow cards per-game on their travels this term, not to mention the Granite City outfit have received two or more cautions in 10 of their last 12 league games.
Referee Kevin Clancy delivered two of those cards to the Dons in their recent win over Hearts and I see no reason to oppose a repeat here when they head to the home of the high-intensity Hoops.
