I TIPPED Wayne Rooney to equal Bobby Charlton’s goals record last weekend – and I’m backing him to beat it at Wembley tonight. Rooney was hauled off after an hour of the 6-0 cruise in San Marino on Saturday and cynics have suggested tickets will be sold as he targets the magic 50 mark. Rooney would prefer to overtake Charlton […]

LAST season Queen of the South gave Rangers a few headaches but then again so do Hibs … and even Alloa. They’re a different side under Mark Warburton and his new recruits and the Ibrox side head to Dumfries today full of confidence and with their swagger back. Last season Gers lost 2-0 and 3-0 on the Palmerston plastic but […]

ABERDEEN and Hearts defend 100 per cent records in the Scottish Premiership today and McBookie go 3-1 both win. Today I’d rather be on the Dons than Hearts. Derek McInnes’s squad is so strong he’s had the luxury of rotating strikers this season with last term’s Premier League top scorer Adam Rooney been forced to take a back seat. The […]

IN the English Premiership all eyes will be on Man City to see if they can continue their excellent start to the season. Manuel Pellegrini’s men are the only side to win their first three games – all to nil – and all by at least two goals. It should be more of the same at home to new boys […]

SCOTTISH action starts on Friday with Falkirk v Dumbarton in the Championship and on Saturday Aberdeen and Hearts will be trying to maintain their 100 per cent records at Partick and Aberdeen respectively. As usual William Hill’s Owen Scott has been scouring the card to come up with stats and specials. These are not tips but may help you with […]

IT’S hard to work out tonight’s big game when you look at the two league matches they’ve played so far. Arsenal, tipped by many to win the title, had punters tearing up their slips just 90 minutes into the season as they were humbled at home to West Ham after beating Chelsea in the Community Shield. Arsene Wenger’s side got […]

RANGERS showed their intent as they got the season off to a flier with a 6-2 crushing of Hibs in the Challenge Cup at Easter Road. It was a real statement about how Mark Warburton was going to approach games and he’s gone on to win his next four to make it a perfect start to his Ibrox managerial career. […]

PETERHEAD have netted nine in two games and Dunfermline 10 in their last two outings so there should be goals galore when the League One rivals clash at Balmoor today. Dunfermline have been bookies’ biggest basher this season and it was good to latch on to their form early. I backed them antepost and they’ve been my Super Single the […]

IF Swansea have been superb this season Sunderland have been shocking – and as luck would have it the pair meet today. Dick Advocaat’s side have started with defeats at Leicester and home to Norwich, conceding seven goals, so it would be a surprise if they took something from even stronger opponents. Swansea can more than double your money at […]

HANDS up if you were stung by the Celtic v Rangers mythical match betting on Wednesday. Celtic won this 3-2 after William Hill priced up Rangers at 4-5 – then admitted they’d got the odds wrong. They got out of jail on Wednesday and have again priced it up this weekend with Celtic at Dundee United and Rangers home to […]

IT’S been a long 15-year wait but finally Morton and St Mirren fans have a derby to look forward to. Following Morton’s promotion to the Championship and St Mirren’s relegation from the Premiership the local rivals meet at what will be a packed Cappielow in front of the TV cameras. The atmosphere should be crackling and I’m predicting goals and […]

SOUTHAMPTON’S super start to the season ended spectacularly against Everton but they can get back on track tonight. Ronald Koeman’s taking the Europa League seriously and fielded two full-strength sides for the previous round and was rewarded with a 5-0 aggregate success over Vitesse. If anything Midtjylland are poorer than the Dutch and if the Saints are serious it should […]

I’VE been trying to bring you a new offer every day this week and just ahead of tonight’s matches this one from betfair has caught my eye. Celtic are priced up at 4-7 generally but if you open an account at Betfair you can get enhanced odds of 4-1. I’ve stated elsewhere that I’m on Celtic to win tonight and […]

GOALS were at a premium in the Petrofac Training Cup last night – apart from Falkirk-Peterhead – but I can see plenty in tonight’s two ties. Let’s start with Ayr v Rangers and the way the Glasgow side’s matches have gone under Mark Warburton there could be any number of goals. Their matches have averaged over five this season and […]

CELTIC should take a huge step towards the Champions League group stage by beating Malmo tonight. Much has been said about the tough draw handed to Ronny Deila’s men but look at ties such as Lazio v Leverkusen and Monaco v Valencia. Any of those teams would love to meeting Malmo and I don’t think the Swedes are any better […]

ANOTHER nice offer has landed just ahead of tonight’s matches and this time it’s from Betfred. The good news is it appears to be open to all customers so everyone can get involved. I know lots of you like a bet in-play so this one could be right up your street. Simply place 3 separate bets on tonight’s matches and […]

I’VE already stated that I think Liverpool will win tonight but I don’t fancy odds of 1/2 very much. However a brand new offer from Paddy Power has just dropped in to my inbox which makes much more appeal. Yes, it’s for new customers only, and yes it’s limited to a £10 max stake but getting a boost from 5/4 […]

MY only regret over the weekend was not backing Dunfermline to win 7-1. I wrote about it and talked about but in the end I convinced myself it couldn’t happen. We all still made money from the Pars’ fourth crushing win in row and they and Rangers are probably the most profitable sides to follow at the moment. My Super […]

IT looks like there will be a thrilling finish to the USPGA Championship tonight with Jordan Spieth stepping up his bid to win his third Major of the season. Ace Venturer and myself both tipped Jason Day antepost and the Aussie nearly man leads Spieth by two after an amazing finale last night. Spieth looked out of it but birdied […]

I THOUGHT bookies over-reacted to Chelsea being held by Swansea as they installed Man City as favourites to win the Premier League. The Blues were on course for victory until Thibaut Courtois was red carded and while City opened with a superb win at West Brom the three points were expected. However, there’s no doubt Jose Mourinho has been behind […]

A LOT has said on this site about Dunfermline this week and they’ve possibly earned more attention than even Hearts and Hibs did last season when they were overpriced for meetings with Rangers. Anyone following my tips since the start of the season will have cashed in on the Pars. They were my antepost pick for League One and my […]

FIRST up in the Premier League today it’s Southampton v Everton and let’s hope it’s more exciting than the dross served up at Villa Park in Friday night. At Daily Record towers we switched from the USPGA golf to the football and from seeing players shooting birdies and eagles we watched overpaid stars fire blanks. Louis van Gaal will be […]

IT’S been an exciting week in the crazy world that’s Scottish football. First Celtic No.2 John Collins says the rest of the league are rubbish then his side draw 2-2 at Killie before launching a bid to buy Hibs’ Scott Allan – a diehard Rangers fans. We also had a thrilling Dundee derby and hopefully there will be more thrills […]

ANYONE who watched Man United on Saturday will recoil at the prospect of backing them at a best 7-10 with Ladbrokes and William Hill to win tonight. Louis van Gaal’s side stunk out Old Trafford like rotting fish and were lucky to beat a struggling Spurs outfit courtesy of an OG. Aston Villa on the other hand were better – […]

THERE’S always a lot of talk about whether you should cash out a bet and my preference is to look at cover options. So how do you feel about a Coral punter from Aberdeen who won £49,989 for a £5 stake when he cashed out on a League Cup accumulator – but missed out on a £273.000 jackpot after his […]
