LEIGH GRIFFITHS is again favourite to score first for Celtic today and McBookie have priced up the 30-goal striker to reach the 50-mark before the end of the season. It pays just 5-1 while a more realistic 40 is certainly achievable at 8-11 but he has to stay clear of injury – and look what’s happened to Rangers top scorer […]

IT could be Firhill for nils tonight as Aberdeen try to reignite their fading title challenge. The Dons need the points after collapsing at Inverness on Monday but could be frustrated by the stuffy hosts on a gluepot pitch. Six of the last seven meetings between the sides have gone under 2.5 goals and anything more than two tonight would […]

CELTIC have answered Aberdeen’s title challenge with three points – but the Dons can draw level again tonight. Derek McInnes’s men face a tough test at Inverness but it’s one they can pass. Aberdeen haven’t beaten the Highlanders this season with a defeat away and draw at home and they’ll be determined to put the record straight. Both sides are in decent […]

WHAT better way to spend Valentine’s Day than accept the remote from your loved one and settle down to Super Sunday. There’s bound to be a few domestics around the country as couples debate whether to go for a romatic lunch or watch the footie. I wear the trousers in my house (honest) so there’s no debate and a starter […]

IT really is Super Sunday in England this weekend and my Daily Record column today reflects that with the emphasis on the matches at Arsenal and Man City. On the site I’ll put up my tips and thoughts for those games later so what about the Saturday matches. In the Premier League best bets could be Everton – with three […]

IT’S a big weekend in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic trying to move three points clear of Aberdeen and pile the pressure on the Dons who travel to Inverness on Monday. There are some big games at the other end of the table with Dundee United showing signs of improvement ahead of their visit to Hamilton. McBookie are offering 7-2 […]

EARLIER in the week St Johnstone fan Greg Browning commented Montrose couldn’t defend on the road – and they promptly conceded seven at Stirling. I wonder what he’d say about his own side who conceded four at home to Aberdeen last week and nine in total in their last three games. Dundee have netted nine in their last four Premiership […]

WE’VE seen two faces of Ross County recently – the well-oiled machine that beat Celtic and the broken one that struggled past Linlithgow Rose. Both cup games ended in victory but the 3-1 defeat of Celtic to reach the League Cup Final was night and day compared to the display that edged out the juniors in the Scottish Cup. So […]

IT’S difficult to work out Liverpool’s ambitions for the rest of the season. They’ve reached the Capital One Cup Final but haven’t been taking the FA Cup seriously. Jurgen Klopp fielded reserve teams in both matches against Exeter and in the initial tie at home to West Ham but must now surely admit defeat in the race for a Champions […]

ABERDEEN are trying to replicate the Leicester fairytale down south and will go joint top of the Premiership if they win at St Johnstone today. McBookie.com have cut them from 20-1 to 9-1 for the title after their midweek win over Celtic. That defeat has meant the bookies are offering 2-9 Ronny Deila will not be in charge of the […]

THERE was a good article in the Daily Record the other day about how much you’d be due backing Leicester and Aberdeen to win their respective titles at the start of the season. For a £10 double at Ladbrokes the answer was £3.4million – and of course no one is on. Leicester were as big as 10,000-1 and Aberdeen 33-1. […]

ABERDEEN are drinking in the last-chance saloon but could say three cheers to a title race tonight. The Dons trail Celtic by six points and while it’s not a decider at Pittodrie you can tie green and white ribbons to the trophy if Ronny Deila’s side notch a win. Aberdeen beat the champs 2-1 at home in September and look big […]

I WAS spot on with Man United last night – tipping them to beat Derby and with Wayne Rooney scoring. It was too big a game for Louis van Gaal to take chances with but that’s not the case with many of the favourites this weekend as squads are rotated. So with the FA Cup try to check as much […]

IT was one out of two for Desmond last week and not good enough for a punter who sets himself high standards. I like the look of his Saturday double and pleased to see he’s given the FA Cup a bodyswerve. Desmond says: “Gents, two teams I like the look of this Saturday are both in great form and chasing […]

ALMOST every week Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal has been on the brink but tonight he really is in the firing line. The Dutch boss denied he’d offered to go after last weekend’s howling defeat at home to Southampton but admits he may have no choice if his side lose at Derby in tonight’s FA Cup clash. For most top […]

IT’S a big weekend in Scotland with two League Cup semi-finals and some key matches in the league. As usual William Hill’s Owen Scott has been looking at the fixtures and come up with some interesting stats and special bets. Remember these are pointers rather than tips. HIBS v ST JOHNSTONE Hibs haven’t conceded a goal in this season’s League […]

IF Liverpool’s match tonight provides one tenth of the excitement as Saturday’s we’re in for a treat. Jurgen Klopp’s Anfield reign reached new levels of anxiety and entertainment as they won a rollercoaster affair 5-4 at Norwich. A 95th-minute winner by Adam Lallana sparked scenes of celebration that will be difficult to match even if they reach the Capital One […]

I’VE successfully focused on goals in recent weeks when it comes to Celtic and Rangers games. I tipped Celtic to score 3+ at the weekend and they’ve notched 15 in three games. Rangers are netting at a similar rate with 19 in four ahead of tonight’s Championship trip to Morton. The Ibrox men are no bigger than 3-10 with Ladbrokes so for […]

LEIGH GRIFFITHS might be the form striker in the country but is still the 11-10 outsider to score the most goals in Scotland this season. Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com make Martyn Waghorn the 4-6 favourite with both men on the 20-goal mark. Griffiths can take a march on his rival on Saturday with Celtic playing host to St Johnstone and Rangers not […]

IT’S a tough card in England today and that’s illustrated by the fact Man United are the only odds-on side at home in the Premier League and they’re hardly bankers at home to Southampton. A price of 10-11 looks good on paper but United have been too inconsistent for me to back confidently. And even when you look at the […]

DESMOND landed a dynamite double last week and is hoping to go on a nice run. From his shortlist he’s picked out two teams to score 2+ and I wish him the best of luck. He says: Two teams I like the look of this Saturday are Man United and Cardiff. I don’t normally touch the Premier League but Ladbrokes’ […]

DUNDEE have turned into the great entertainers and it must be tearing boss Paul Hartley’s hair out. The Dens men head to Aberdeen tonight with a defence only slightly more fragile on the road than Dundee United’s. They have conceded 24 to their neighbours’ 26 and fans of goals will revel in the fact their last five matches have totalled […]

IT’S developed into a fascinating three-way title race but today Rangers can move six points clear of rivals Falkirk and Hibs. Mark Warburton’s rejuvenated side should see off Livingston at home with the minimum of fuss and will be hoping for a draw when the Bairns entertain Hibs. Let’s start with Rangers – last week I said they were best […]

ARMCHAIR footie fans have been treated to three classic English matches in the past week. Too often big games from south of the border are more Snooze Factor than X Factor but that all changed when Spurs and Leicester fought out a 2-2 FA Cup thriller. That was followed by Newcastle 3, Man United 3 and bettered by Liverpool 3, […]
Posted on: 14 Jan 2016
MIXU PAATELAINEN finally notched a win at the weekend. That’s the good news. Bad news for the Dundee Utd boss is next up it’s a visit from Celtic who have put the Tannadice men to the sword in recent seasons. Even this season the champions have netted eight in two meetings – 5-0 at home and 3-1 away – so […]
