A LOT has already been said about this match and whatever happens I think it will be tense and tight with the play-off final spot on the line until the sides meet again in Edinburgh on Saturday. Rangers will be hoping home advantage, a huge crowd and feelgood factor after the news chairman in waiting Dave King has been passed […]

FRANCESCO MOLINARI gave me a 35-1 place on Sunday but unfortunately Emiliano Grillo just missed out when David Howell birdied the last. Hopefully I’ll have better luck this week. Although Grillo didn’t give me a return at the Open de Espana I do think he can do the business at the BMW PGA Championship. I’ve said before the 23-year-old Argentine […]

THERE are two good-looking games in the Premier League today but neither are easy to call. Man United-Arsenal has plenty at stake with third place qualifying automatically for the Champions League rather than facing a play-off while Man City will be looking to wrap up second spot at on-form Swansea. Arsenal’s record at Old Trafford is poor and they haven’t […]

IT’S one down five to go if Rangers are to have any chance of returning to the top flight. All the stats pointed to a Queen of the South win in last week’s Premiership play-off but Stuart McCall’s visitors showed they’ve got what it takes to fight for a place in the final. It wasn’t pretty but the Ibrox men […]

THERE will be tears and cheers at Anfield today as Steven Gerrard runs out at Anfield for the final time. After 645 games and 184 goals the legendary skipper says farewell to fans before signing for LA Galaxy. Emotions will run high and the script is written for the one-club man to score against Crystal Palace. Gerrard has been warming […]

IT’S been a while since I visited Salzburg, not literally of course, but in the early part of the season they were the go-to team for goals. With fewer games in the UK this weekend I cast my net a bit wider in the search for goals and looking at the h2h between Altach and Red Bull there should be […]

ALL the focus is on the fight to avoid second bottom in the Scottish Premiership. McBookie are offering 25-1 on Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Ross County all losing this weekend to set up a final-day scenario that could see Killie and County drawing to guarantee their safety. Spokesman Paul Petrie said: “Sporting integrity has been the buzzword around Scottish football for […]

PLENTY of people backed against Celtic last weekend simply because they’d wrapped up the Premiership title. But their games against Aberdeen are never meaningless so it was no surprise he champions played like their lives depended on it – especially matchwinning skipper Scott Brown. Celtic have two league matches remaining and Ronny Deila has stated he’ll rest some of his […]

THE European Tour moves to Spain this week for the Open de Espana at the Real Club de Golf El Prat, half an hour to the north of Barcelona and the Greg Norman-designed course is one of Sergio Garcia’s favourites courses in the world. I tipped Emiliano Grillo for the Volvo China Open and finished a credible tied third after […]

AS expected Barcelona cruised into the Champions League Final last night – so will be treated to an all-Spanish final for the second year running. Last season Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid and they’re hoping to complete an El Clasico line-up in Berlin by overturning a 2-1 deficit to Juventus. Juve did well to win in Turin but 2-1 is […]

BAYERN MUNICH are a biggest 20-1 with bet365 to complete a miraculous Champions League recovery on Tuesday and the price looks about right. Barcelona lead 3-0 from last week’s first leg and are no bigger than 1-41 with 888sport to reach the Final. At that price only weighed-in MPs who have lost their seats will be able to afford to […]

I WAS looking at putting up a minus one treble but prices on the sides I fancied were so short I’m taking their games to go over 2.5 goals instead. The teams in question are Porto and Wolfsburg at home to Gil Vicente and away to Paderborn respectively. Porto have covered the -1 handicap in their last three home meetings […]

I’M starting with a lunchtime Premier League clash that should provide goals from both teams. Everton have been in good nick with six successive wins and that’s bad news for Sunderland who need the points with tough away games at Arsenal and Chelsea to follow. I reckon Everton will win and if they score first Sunderland will have to come […]

IT’S the start of the Premiership play-offs on Saturday and McBookie are offering 8-15 one of the Championship clubs will win the final against a top-flight side – probably Motherwell but maybe Kilmarnock. The firm make the Premiership club the 11-8 favourite once the four teams are broken down. It means Hibs and Rangers are both 9-4 with Queen of […]
Posted on: 08 May 2015
IT’S last-chance saloon for Motherwell tonight as they try to escape the relegation play-off place. They must beat Kilmarnock to close the gap to three points or start planning for nervy a showdown against QoS, Rangers or Hibs. Well could have the perfect visitors with Gary Locke’s men losing six in a row and the home win pays 13-10 at […]

IT’S back to stroke play this week thankfully with the Tournament Players Championship at Sawgrass. With 49 of the world’s top 50 taking part and 56 of the top 60 and quite a few players in top form (McIlroy, Spieth, Rose, etc) this looks like it could be a great tournament. With three top-fives from his last four stroke-play starts […]

PEP GUARDIOLA returns to Barcelona tonight and for once he could leave the Nou Camp a broken man. Bayern Munich’s coach is sure to be given a hero’s reception but the team he left behind have been growing in stature and take a giant leap to the Final. Guardiola knows more about Lionel Messi than most but it could be […]

WE could be set for another all-Spanish Champions League Final (7-5, William Hill) with Real Madrid and Barcelona favourites to negotiate tricky last-four ties. First up tonight Real visit newly-crowned Italian champions Juventus and tomorrow Pep Guardiola faces his former side as Barcelona tackle Bayern Munich in what should be a cracker. Real are a best 4-9 at Betfred to […]

STATS wise the game that should produce goals today is Spurs v Man City with 35 netted in the last seven meetings between the teams. City have actually won the last three 4-1, 5-1 and 6-0 with Sergio Aguero netting seven times in those clashes so he will be backed at 1-1 with bet365 and Ladbrokes to net again. However, […]

NIGEL PEARSON is feeling the pressure – why else would he brand a reporter an “ostrich”. But while the Leicester boss reckoned the hack had his head in the sand it’s rival boss John Carver who has been burying his head in his hands. A run of seven defeats in a row has dragged down Newcastle and another at Leicester […]

WE finally get the excitement we craved in the Scottish Championship as Hibs try to pip Rangers to second spot and avoid an extra two matches which cold be crucial. Rangers are the visitors to runaway champions Hearts while Hibs travel to Falkirk in a repeat of the Scottish Cup semi-final they lost a few weeks ago followed by a […]

IT’S the final day of the Championships season and there are still some issues to be settled. Watford will clinch the title if they beat Sheffield Wednesday at home but could still be pipped by Bournemouth. Middlesbrough and Norwich have clinched play-off places but Ipswich and Derby still have work to do with Brentford and Wolves hoping to take advantage […]

DUNDEE UTD could clinch the title for Celtic on Saturday if the Bhoys dump Dundee on Friday. Odds on the double – a Celtic win and Aberdeen not to win at Tannadice – pays 13-10 at bet365. The first part should come up without any hassle and it would be the biggest irony of the season if the Tangerines handed […]

IT’S a big weekend in Scotland with Celtic potentially clinching the title on Saturday and the fight for the play-off places continues in the lower leagues. The big question is who will finish second – Hibs or Rangers – and avoid an extra tie against Queen of the South. As ever William Hill’s Owen Scott has put together some stats-based […]

NAPOLI are aiming to make it four wins in a row and stay in contention for a Champions League spot tonight. Empoli are unbeaten at home since January 26 but haven’t won a Serie A game since March 22. Last weekend’s 2-2 result at Atalanta was their second straight draw and dropped the Tuscan outfit to 16th place but 12 […]
