WILLIE COLLUM must have looked at the weekend Premiership card and thought, “Dundee v Killie, maybe Partick Thistle v St Johnstone. No dramas there.” Instead he’s being thrown into the cauldron that’s Celtic Park to take charge of the first Old Firm league game for five years. Collum is probably the best known whistler on the site after handing out […]

FOR the second time in five years Crooked Stick GC, north of Indianapolis, hosts the BMW Championship. When it was held here in 2012 it was Rory McIlroy who prevailed by two strokes with a 20-under total of 268. The tournament was played after a hurricane ripped through the area and left the course soaking. It was like target practice then […]

THIS week’s KLM Open takes place for the first time at the Dutch Golf Course in Spijk and was designed by Colin Montgomerie and Ross McMurray of European Golf Design. The course opened in 2011 and is described as an inland links course and Montgomerie reckons the greens are the best on the European Tour this year. Players are going to […]

I WON’T have many better World Cup nights with six out of seven winners and the other void on Monday’s preview post. Hoping for a similar hit rate on Tuesday but of course it won’t be easy. My recommended bets last night were Gareth Bale to scorem Serbia v Ireland draw, Iceland draw no bet (void), Iceland to score, Austria, Spain -3 and David Silva to […]

REMEMBER Euro 2016, remember Gareth Bale … remember how good he was. Bale was one of the stars of the tournament in Wales’ amazing run to the semi-finals and will be expected to lead his men to Russia 2018. Wales kick off at home to Moldova tonight and are no bigger than 2-7 at William Hill. They should win but sometimes […]

IT seems as if we’re still getting over Euro 2016 and now we’re hit with the World Cup 2018 qualifiers. There are nine ties on Sunday in Groups C, D and F with F of course featuring England and Scotland. Scotland must kick off with a win in Malta to have any chance of ending 20 years of World Cup […]

INTERNATIONAL weekend always fills me with dread from a betting perspective but over the years I’ve found a way to make profit from these qualifying games. It involves backing against those international minnows who seldom get themselves on the scoresheet. The likes of San Marino, Andorra, Gibraltar and Liechtenstein, whose resources and player pools are miniscule compared to much larger […]

CELTIC and Rangers don’t play this weekend but all the talk has been about the prices for next Saturday’s Old Firm game. Odds were released earlier in the week with Celtic 4-5 with some firms including McBookie – but that didn’t last long. That price looked big to me and Hoops fans piled on. Within hours we were down to […]

MY first thought after looking at the field was Jason Day was looking a strong favourite for the Deutsche Bank … in fact too strong at around 6-1. So I will have to forego him this week. There are 100 qualifiers for the Deutsche Bank Championship and only Masters winner Danny Willett misses out. After 36 holes the top 70 […]

AFTER the excitement of Darren Clarke naming his three Ryder Cup wildcards we return to the tranquility of tournament golf. The beautiful setting of Crans-sur-Sierre in the Swiss mountains is once again the setting for the European Masters. Last year’s winner Danny Willett returns to defend his title but since winning the Green Jacket at Augusta his form has dipped […]

LEICESTER, Southampton and Bournemouth – all have faced the might of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and all have bowed down to the great man. Anyone who thought the Swede was finished didn’t watch PSG last season and anyone who thought he’d switched to England to boost his pension doesn’t realise one thing … he loves scoring goals. The superstar striker has been […]

RANGERS fans are enjoying seeing their side sitting at the top of the Premiership but there’s no doubt the fixtures computer has been kind to them. Hamilton, Dundee, Motherwell and now Kilmarnock away has eased them back into the top flight with four games against sides unlikely to finish in the top six. After struggling to draw with Hamilton in […]

THE top 125 players in the PGA Tour rankings gather at the Black Course at Bethpage for the final Barclays sponsored Fed-Ex Playoff. The 7468-yard par 71 last hosted the Barclays in 2012 and was won by Nick Watney on 274 (10 under). Four of the 125 qualifiers have not committed to this week (Sergio Garcia, Danny Willett, Shane Lowry […]

THE honour of the final counting event for the Ryder Cup goes to the Made in Denmark tournament at the Backtee New Course, Himmerland, in Aalborg. This is the third year of this tourney and has become a firm favourite with the players and especially this time with Ryder Cup points available. The rough can be quite penal in places […]

AFTER last night’s drama we have five more Champions League qualifiers as the group-stage line-up is completed. Celtic, Porto, Ludogerets, Legia Warsaw and Monaco made it through last night with varying degrees of ease. It was a tough 90 minutes for Celtic who scraped through 5-4 on aggregate after losing 2-0 away to Hapoel Beer Sheva. Barring a strange set […]

THE big draw’s on Thursday and five sides are aiming to make the group stage of the Champions League tonight. None of the ties look in the balance although you can’t discount big guns Villarreal and Porto who face tough away tasks. Villarreal go to Monaco 2-1 down and Porto head to Roma after being held 1-1 at home. Celtic […]

ALLOA did me proud last week when I made them them the headline act – and today’s unsung heroes could be little Burton. Nigel Clough’s men started life in the Championship with two narrow defeats but found their feet to beat one of the promotion favourites Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at home in midweek. The result should give Burton belief – and […]

WITH this being the last chance to make the top 125 players to take part in the Fed-Ex Cup play-offs the Wyndham Championship takes on a special meaning for those on the borderline. So this could be a real shoot-out on Sunday. The Donald Ross-designed Sedgefield course is set up for accuracy off the tee and with the greens set […]

THE Albatross Golf Resort in Prague is the host of the Czech Masters for the third year running. It was opened in 2010 and has also staged the Prague Masters. The track is a long 7516-yard par 72 and the rough is supposed to be penal with the greens running at 12 on the stimpmeter. Long and accurate off the […]

IT’S another fascinating night in the Champions League with 10 more sides trying to qualify for the group stage. Last night Man City showed their class with a 5-0 romp in Romania and Monchengladbach proved it was men against Young Boys as they won 3-1 in Switzerland – the other there ties are in the balance. Tonight some big names […]

LAST night it was Super Saturday in the athletics at Rio and now it’s the first Super Sunday of the season in the Premier League. Hull apart it was a fairly dull introduction to the campaign but with Man United, Arsenal and Liverpool in action there should be plenty of thrills and spills today. First up it’s Bournemouth v Manchester […]

MAN UNITED, Man City and Chelsea – that will be the first three in the Premier League this season. That’s the easy part done – predicting the correct order is much more difficult. Bookies go City, United, Chelsea but it’s tough to split the Manchester giants. Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jose Mourinho haven’t rolled up at Old Trafford to finish […]

PAUL POGBA, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jose Mourinho – three reasons why Man United should win the Premier League. But it’s not going be that simple and two men likely to be standing in their way as Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte make their English managerial bows. This season’s Premier League title race promises one of the best but it’s also […]

MANY of the 60 golfers taking part in the Olympics don’t get a chance to represent their countries – and even the likes of the Ryder Cup is for continents. Golf has not been a part of the Olympics since 1904, quite rightly in my opinion, but now it is those taking part will be right up for it. Quite […]

BRENDAN RODGERS had a Scottish football baptism of fire on Sunday at Tynecastle – but should find it more relaxed tonight. Celtic overcame the award of a dodgy penalty to win late on in a fiery encounter that saw 11 players booked. The Hoops are in Betfred Cup action with Motherwell the visitors – last time they hit the east […]
