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 […]
Posted on: 22 Jan 2016
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, […]

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 […]

BIGGEST game of a busy Premier League card is Liverpool v Arsenal but I’m focusing on one of the lower-profile ones. So let’s start with Swansea v Sunderland with the visitors a big price of 43-10 at 888sport against a side that’s lost it’s way a bit. The Swans paid the penalty for rotating their squad with an FA Cup […]

NOT sure what the tennis boys are thinking but I’m getting on this one before the tournament starts next week. It’s almost time for the first tennis Grand Slam of the season and in my eyes Novak Djokovic can’t be beaten. Did anyone see his display in routing Rafael Nadal at the weekend. I’ve never seen him play better and […]

IT’S Scottish Cup weekend north of the border and the good news is most of the big guns will field full-strength teams. That should make predicting winners easier but with the likes of Celtic, Rangers, Motherwell, Hamilton, Dundee Utd and Inverness all short prices it’s all about hunting down value. I’ll fully preview the Rangers v Cowdenbeath and Stranraer v […]

IT’S a big weekend of cup football north and south of the border and that’s not always good news for punters. Team news is vital but in Scotland it’s less important as most sides will field full-strength line-ups because the cash collected on a cup run is important. St Mirren and Partick Thistle get as under way on Friday night […]

THE ref who was been mentioned most on this site in 2015 was Willie Collum. He’s building a reputation for making wrong calls in big games and has been at the centre of many controversies. After awarding four penalties in his last two matches, at least three of them disputed and two clearly wrong, I advised backing a penalty at […]

STOKEALONA is possibly the cheesiest tag ever handed to a football team but Mark Hughes’s men are doing their best to live up to the tag. Do you remember the days when Stoke always featured last on Match of the Day – not any more. Hughes has talents such as Xherdan Shaqiri, Marko Arnautovic and Bojan Krkic shining and they’ve rattled in 11 goals […]

DESMOND’S hoping to make a dynamic start to 2016 and he’s picked up a couple of English teams he fancies to score 2+ Unfortunately the Newport game has been called off and Desmond’s taken my advice to put up Greg’s nap as an alternative. Greg’s nap is Motherwell to score 2+ but if people think they have too much riding on them […]
