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 […]

WITH a lot of the PGA Tour players either taking part in the Olympics or having a week off the 156 participants of the John Deere Classic have a chance to climb up the rankings. The 7268 yards, par 71, TPC Deere Run course was ranked third easiest on the PGA Tour last year so expect low scores. Of the […]

WE’VE reached the last-16 stage of the Betfred Cup where Celtic, Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs enter the fray. We’ve already lost holders Ross County who went out in the group stage and there have been plenty of shocks. However, this is where form will settle down and all teams barring the possible of exception of Rangers and Celtic will go […]

HANDS up if you thought Paddy Power was Ireland’s largest independent bookmaker… Me too. But actually it’s Boylesports. Founded in 1989 by John Boyle, Boylesports now has over 200 stores in Ireland and is one of the leading sportsbooks on the Internet. Having made a slow start to online gaming the firm has got their act together and their site […]

LEICESTER mark another milestone on Sunday by taking on Man United in the Community Shield at Wembley. After mixing it with big guns PSG (0-4) and Barcelona (2-4) the Foxes are up against big-spending Man United – Jose Mourinho et all. And while this game is really a glorified friendly both sides will want to lay down markers for the new season. […]

IT’S only one day to the start of the English season and with Newcastle kicking it off at Fulham I’m putting up some Championship anteposts. All UK leagues start up this weekend apart from the Premier League and I’m still studying League One and League Two. I’m always reluctant to pick winners too early as sides continue to mould their squads […]

THE Aberdeen Asset Paul Lawrie Matchplay moves from Murcar Links, where Kiradech Aphibarnrat won last year, to the Archerfield Links near North Berwick. This is the first time the East Lothian course has hosted a European Tour event and is the 21st different Scottish course to host one since the Tour’s inception in 1972. As it’s difficult to pick a winner […]

THE Travelers Championship used to be played the week after the US Open but due to the Olympics it has been put back a month and now follows the US PGA. Making use of the extra month since last year’s Championship the TPC Highlands course has gone through some upgrades that will make players think twice before hitting off the […]

CELTIC have done the hard work – or at least that’s what it says on the tin. A 1-1 draw in Astana last week was a real bonus and Brendan Rodgers’s side are no bigger than 1-4 at bet365 to qualify. It’s incredibly short but as one Hoops fan told me “Astana can’t beat us – but we can beat […]

THE fourth round of the PGA Championship has been completed but it’s touch and go whether the final round finishes tonight with the last group going out at 8.16pm BST. My twoball treble that started with Francesco Molinari on Saturday won at 3-1 as Rickie Fowler edged out Jamie Donaldson and Henrik Stenson beat Martin Kaymer. The fourth-round twoballs are the same as organiser try […]

DUSTIN JOHNSON and Rory McIlroy were among two stars to bite the dust on a dramatic day 2 at Baltusrol. Tournament favourite Johnson’s driven poorly and Rory’s putted badly and that’s cost the big guns. First-round leader Jimmy Walker has been joined at the top on nine under by Robert Streb but it’s Jason Day and Henrik Stenson who lead the […]

IT’S the final round of the group stage of the Betfred Cup with teams vying to finish top or claim one of four best second places. Also the four best group winners will be seeded for the last 16 alongside Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs – and Rangers have already taken one of those spots after winning all four of […]

HERE’S a question: Would Celtic rather take the scalp of star-studded Barcelona or see off Kazaks Astana? It’s an easy one to answer – and anyway the Scottish champions have beaten Barca more than once before. The sides meet in the International Champions Cup in Dublin and for Celtic it’s a big distraction from the real deal of the Champions League. […]

IT was a pretty dramatic opening day at Baltusrol with two of the favourites Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy struggling badly on a day of fairly low scoring. While Jimmy Walker shot a five-under 65 to assume the lead big Dustin fired the ball over the place as he finished with a 77 and will do well to make the […]

IT seems just yesterday when we were treated to the Duel in the Gloom at Troon. Only two weeks ago golf’s finest gathered in Scotland to tee off in a tournament that will never be forgotten thanks to the final-day heroics of Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson. We’ve hardly had time to catch breath before the final Major of the season […]

IT’S difficult what to make of Aberdeen in Europe this season. Feeble against Fola Esch, vibrant against Ventspils – and at least they’re still alive unlike Hearts and Hibs. Now comes the toughest test for Derek McInnes’s men with a meeting against a Maribor side who love playing Scottish teams. The Slovenians have beaten Rangers, Celtic and Hibs in recent seasons […]
