IT’S the final Major of the season and having tipped the last two I’m going for a hat-trick. There have been three first-time Major winners this year – Danny Willett, Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson – so can Baltusrol produce a fourth? Baltusrol hosts its second USPGA since it was redesigned in 1922. The course has also staged four US Opens (two of […]

SCOTTISH football has taken such a tumble Celtic are underdogs for tonight’s trip to Kazakhstan. That’s good news for Hoops fans if they fancy their team to turn over Astana. Celtic are a best 12-5 with bet365 and and the draw is 2-1 at McBookie and Ladbrokes. Astana lost three of 14 Champions League games last season and were unbeaten […]

RANGERS booked their place in the last 16 of the Betfred Cup and will be seeded after winning their group. There are another 12 ties tonight with several sides looking to book their East Fife have been the surprise team of the Betfred Cup and can clinch a last-16 place by winning at Forfar. They beat Dundee on penalties then triumphed […]

Rangers have enjoyed the Betfred Cup more than most and are the only side to have won their first three games. Motherwell apart they haven’t been tested and the only criticism of Mark Warburton’s men is they should have beaten Annan and East Stirling much more convincingly. Three clean sheets out of three will have cheered a boss whose defence last […]

THE Betfred Cup continues with some top ties including Inverness v Dundee Utd, Hamilton v St Mirren and St Johnstone v Falkirk. Caley Thistle and United were top-flight rivals last season and United have lost on just one of their four visits to Inverness. Both are rebuilding and United hit top gear in midweek with a 6-1 rout of Cowdenbeath […]

SCOTLAND’S champions meet England’s champions live in Sky on Saturday – but it’s difficult to get too excited about it. For Celtic the game comes four days before a massive Champions League tie away to Astana and their full focus should on that one. And for Leicester the game arrives early in their schedule with Claudio Ranieri’s men having just […]

GAMES are coming fast and furious for Mark Warburton’s side as they build up to their big-time return in the Premiership. Rangers hardly broke sweat as they added a second Betfred Cup win against Annan in midweek and it should be more of the same against East Stirling tonight. Most clubs are using the new-look tournament as preparation for the new […]

IT looks like one in, one out and one don’t know as far Scotland in the Europa League are concerned. Aberdeen are home and hosed after beating Ventspils 3-0, Hibs up against after losing at home to Brondby and Hearts favourites as they held Birkirkara 0-0 away. Let’s start with the Jambos who are 4-9 at William Hill to beat […]

WITH the Duel in the Sun-Wind-and Rain at Royal Troon over it’s time to move to the Glen Abbey GC for the RBC Canadian Open. I was delighted to see my 30-1 pick Henrik Stenson win The Open but on such a great final day Phil Mickelson didn’t deserve to be a loser. Thirty-five of the competitors in The Open […]

WITH no tournament on the European Tour this week my attention has turned to the Senior Tour. The Senior Open Championship turns up at Carnoustie with 144 of the world’s top over-50s, including Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Miguel Angel Jimenez. Frenchman Jean van de Velde makes his Senior Open debut on the course where he famously blew The Open […]

CELTIC were left red-faced by Red Imps last week and no matter what happens in tonight’s return that embarrassment will live on forever. Losing to nil in Gibraltar was humiliating and while Celtic will overhaul the 1-0 deficit at Parkhead I’m not sure they’ll run up a huge score. Red Imps were extremely well organised in the first leg and […]

THE countdown to the end of the Summer Transfer Window has started and it’s shaping up to be one of the most intriguing in recent years. With a raft of new managers embarking on their first season in charge at clubs up and down the country there are the inevitable new faces that come with a new regime. The riches […]

THERE were several shocks in the opening Betfred Cup sparrings and it’s clear some clubs are using the group stage as prep for the league season. For that reason these ties should be played for low stakes and big accumulators are to be avoided. Rangers are one side who treat every game seriously and I tipped them at just under […]

THE OPEN will be a straight shoot-out between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson on the final day at Royal Troon. Stenson, one of Ace Venturer’s antepost picks, is now 8-11 favourite with McBookie and William Hill. If you backed him at 30-1 as Ace advised cover on Mickelson at 6-4 with William Hill or Paddy Power if you haven’t done so. While […]

THE new-look Betfred Cup launched last night and results proved betting on early games must be done for low stakes. Favourites Partick Thistle and Raith beat lowly opposition by one goal away from home while Dundee United were held at Arbroath but won a penalty shoot-out for a bonus point. As was the case last night all the favourites are away […]

IT was another action-packed day at Royal Troon with the weather playing a major role in deciding who sits where in the leaderboard. Everyone sitting in the top 10 had had the best of the conditions including Phil Mickelson who leads by one from Henrik Stenson. Mickelson remains tournament favourite at 5-2 with McBookie and Betfred while Stenson is 14-5 at betfair. Stenson […]

IT was cracking first day at Royal Troon with Phil Mickelson coming within a whisker of a record 62. The popular American’s birdie putt at the last lipped out so he had to settle for an eight-under 63 which equalled the lowest score in a Major. Conditions will be tougher today so we’re unlikely to see many low scores especially […]

CELTIC have shown there’s no such thing as a cert but tonight I fancy the favourites to make winning starts to their Betfred Cup campaigns. The new-look tournament kicks off with three ties including Arbroath v Dundee United in Group C live on BT Sport. Tonight’s other games see Partick Thistle travel to Airdrie in Group E and Raith Rovers […]

MYSELF and Ace have posted outright tips and I’ve picked out a couple of match bets for day one. Picking winners of twoballs and threeballs is always risky because players are not playing against each other – they’re playing the course. There’s nothing one player can do to stop another shooting a better score. And of course a tie is […]

SCOTTISH clubs have been notoriously slow starters in Europe the past few seasons but don’t normally lose to teams from Gibraltar and Luxembourg. Celtic’s defeat to Lincoln Red Imps was rightly described as the club’s worst result of all-time and Aberdeen’s defeat to Fola Esch wasn’t far behind although they edged through 3-2 on aggregate. Domestically, it’s exciting time in […]

THE good and the great of golf turn up at Royal Troon this week for the 145th Open Championship. The golf club has hosted this competition eight times, the first being in 1923, and it hasn’t got any easier since then. Signature hole is the Postage Stamp and although the par three is only 123 yards it is surrounded by […]

ACE VENTURER is the resident golf expert on this site but I like to add my opinion when it comes to the Majors. I picked out my tips before seeing his and I’m happy to see we’re going with the same winner and also expect Sergio Garcia to go well. Followers of Ace’s tips will know he’s a massive Dustin […]

IT’S a big day at Wimbledon with Andy Murray aiming for his second title at SW19. Murray’s only won two of his Grand Slam finals but every defeat has been against Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer so no disgrace there. This time standing in his way is giant Canadian Milos Raonic who has reached his first final after seeing off […]

IT’S felt like a marathon more than sprint at times but we’ve finally reached the finale of Euro 2016. Great games have been few and far between and that’s down to the increase in teams and too much caution shown by coaches playing not to lose. Hosts France have battled through more comfortably than Portugal and will face in Paris […]

THREE of my four recommended bets on the men’s semi-finals came up as Andy Murray and Milos Raonic set up a final showdown on Sunday. I went with Raonic to break serve first and over 3.5 sets in his match against Roger Federer and backed Murray for most aces versus Tomas Berdych. However, I went for over 3.5 sets and […]
