IF Concord Rangers played in the SPFL would they be called the Flying Scotsman? Of course they wouldn’t. The Conference South team aren’t named after the ill-fated jet but instead a beach near their Canvey Island base. Concord will be unknown to most as this is the first time they’ve qualified for the FA Cup and they host Mansfield in […]

THERE are big live games in England and Scotland today with Arsenal facing Man Utd at 5.30pm and Hearts taking on Rangers at 12.45. So let’s start with the early on that’s been tagged a title decider. It’s too early of course for that but unbeaten Hearts will move nine points clear of their Ibrox rivals with a win and […]

I’VE said a few times recently that Brooks Koepka was one to watch and last week he came up trumps for us in Turkey at 35-1. I also tipped Henrik Stenson and but for a triple-bogey seven in the first round he could have been challenging for the title but ended up third for a place so good weekend all […]

IT’s a big day for Wayne Rooney who will be honoured with his 100th England cap in the qualifier against Slovenia. Daniel Sturridge is again missing for England so skipper Rooney has a great chance of breaking the deadlock at 18-5 with McBookie and BetVictor. The Man Utd star is 11-10 at bet365 to net at any time. Three wins […]

THE Euro 2016 qualifiers start back tonight and two stars of the last round meet at Celtic Park. Scotland maintained their good form under Gordon Strachan by drawing in Poland while the Irish picked up a point away to Germany. In terms of importance this is the biggest game of Gordon Strachan’s reign. England will pitch up at Celtic Park […]

THE countdown to the big Euro 2106 qualifier between Scotland and Ireland on Friday is on. It should be a cracking contest and I’ll put up tips late on Thursday night. I can’t see Scotland losing the game and if they take their chances they should win but I’m expecting goals, cards and thrills and spills between two fierce rivals. […]

I WAS about to celebrate a wire-to-wire win last week when Graeme McDowell blew the WGC-HSBC Champions last week. After leading for three round the Irishman missed a 10-footer on the last to force a play-off. Meanwhile, Bubba Watson holed from sand at the last to make the play-off then won it against Tim Clark. McDowell’s place gave me 15-2 […]

CELTIC will tempt many at a best 5-6 with Betfred and others away to Aberdeen (12.30pm) but it could one of the champs’ toughest tests of the season. The Dons beat Celtic twice last season – 2-1 – and usually give them a decent game at Pittodrie. However, one stat against the home men is the fact they’ve beaten the […]

THE big game on Saturday is Liverpool v Chelsea (12.45pm) and while I don’t think the visitors to Anfield will win I don’t expect them to lose. Chelsea are unbeaten this season but have had a few wobbles and a 1-1 draw at Maribor in the Champions League was a disappointing result. Liverpool lost at Real Madrid but their display […]

OWEN SCOTT’S dug out some more beauties for this weekend’s Scottish league matches. The William Hill statsmeister has looked at past games and come with the facts that matter. Remember these special bets from William Hill are no tips – just info that may point you in the right direction. MOTHERWELL v DUNDEE UTD (Friday) Five of the last six […]

Taking part are 40 of the top 50 players in the official world rankings, including including Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia, Rickie Fowler and Bubba Watson. Hitting the fairways is essential as water comes into play […]

CUP draws are almost as exciting as the games themselves these days which pretty much sums up the state of Scottish football. After Celtic and Rangers were paired in the League Cup semis on Saturday the fourth round pairings of the William Hill Scottish Cup drew gasps from those who witnessed it. Celtic have another cracker as they travel to […]

ANDY MURRAY’S out of the Paris Masters and sitting with his feet up after at least clinching a place in the ATP Finals in London. The tennis action continues today with Milos Raonic, conqueror of Roger Federer, facing Tomas Berdych as he fights for his London place. It’s an action-packed sports card with loads of rugby, golf and darts action […]

A FEW weeks back backing Man City to win the derby would have been no-brainer but now there is no concensus. I’ve seen people tipping the home, away and draw as well as both teams to score, overs and unders. Doubts over City come after back-to-back defeats to West Ham and Newcastle and four wins 12 games which certainly isn’t […]

THE Scottish card on Saturday is dominated by the third round of the William Hill Scottish Cup. Joining the likes of Rangers, Dunfermline, Morton and Raith are lesser-known names such Hurlford, Linlithgow, Bo’ness, Edinburgh City, Brora and Nairn. It would be easy to dismiss the junior and Highland and Lowland League sides but the standard isn’t as bad as people […]

OWEN SCOTT picked out stats for each of the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals and landed three winners and a near miss. The William Hill man spends hours each week looking for trends on the Scottish games and remember these are pointers not tips. His three midweek winners were Lewis Macleod to score and Rangers win (19-5), Aberdeen to win to […]

NAPOLI coach Rafael Benitez has urged his team to build on their weekend demolition of Verona when they visit Atalanta on Wednesday. The Azzurri signalled for the first time this season in Sunday’s 6-2 rout they have the makings of a team that can challenge for the Scudetto. Sunday’s victory was Napoli’s fourth of the campaign and lifted Benitez’s side […]

THE BMW Masters gets underway early on Thursday morning at the Lake Malaren GC, Shanghai with 40 million points over the next four weeks up for grabs in the Race to Dubai. All European earnings were converted to points after the Perth International last week and the winner of each of the next four tournaments will gain 1.66m points. Rory […]

MONDAY night’s live TV offering from the Premier League features QPR v Aston Villa (8pm) and having studied this game from all angles I can’t come to a firm conclusion about the result. That might be the mark of a rubbish tipster – that’s up for you to decide – but I hope it’s more to do with the nature […]

THERE has been plenty of action surrounding Rangers off the field but the focus will be on the pitch when they meet St Johnstone in the first of the League Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday. With Celtic expected to beat Partick Thistle tomorrow and Rangers odds on against the Saints there is a decent chance of an Old Firm semi-final. William […]

THERE’S more been said about Hearts recently on this site than War and Peace – and we know who’s to blame for that. Still, you can’t deny raaljaca’s beloved Jambos have won punters plenty of money this season and that trend should continue when they take on Hibs in the Edinburgh on Sunday (12.15pm). I expect Hearts to win but […]

IT would take a brave man to pick a winner between Real Madrid and Barcelona today. The sides clash in El Clasico at 5pm and there’s even more interest surrounding the fixture as Luis Suarez prepares to make his competitive debut for the visitors. Boss Luis Enrique says the Uruguayan will play but he’s unlikely to start with Neymar and […]
