NORWICH have been one of the Championship’s outstanding teams all season and have a chance on Monday to give their promotion hopes a massive lift. QPR beat Palace on Saturday to move 10 points clear at the top but Leeds, Swansea, Nottm Forest and Cardiff all slipped up. Norwich should take advantage by winning at Carrow Road but they face […]

RANGERS and Celtic are in action on Sunday – but they’re not on the same pitch and not even in the same competition. We’ll leave that to next Sunday when the Old Firm face off in the Co-op Cup Final – their sixth meeting of a manic season. Rangers face Kilmarnock as they try to close the gap at the […]

BOTH matches in the Six Nations threw up surprises yesterday – one huge and one small. Italy’s defeat of France in Rome was wholly unexpected while Wales edged out slight pre-match favourites Ireland in Cardiff. So what are the chances of a third weekend shock when Scotland pitch up at Twickenham for the annual Calcutta Cup battle? Pretty slim would […]

THE Six Nations this weekend is all about England v Scotland on Sunday but there are two Saturday clashes. France are hoping to notch up a big win in the 2.30pm kick-off against Italy while Ireland can edge out Wales in the 5pm start in Cardiff. William Hill report that punters can’t decide between Wales or Ireland with Wales attracting […]

IT’S another action-packed Saturday in the Scottish Football Leagues – and as always our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been doing his homework to hopefully come up with a winning treble. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and Dundee’s home clash with Queen of the South. Barry Smith’s side have been in excellent form in recent weeks and […]

MY record is three out of five after taking a big chance on Stenhousemuir last week. Their good run ended with defeat at Brechin but it was worth taking a chance on them at 7-2. So I need a win on Saturday to keep up the percentages and I’m sticking with the SFL which has seen a resurgence for sides […]

RANGERS have done superbly well to reach the last 16 of the Europa League. Their resources are as stretched as Strathclyde Police’s on Old Firm day but still Walter Smith’s side keep going on three fronts. They shocked Sporting Lisbon in the last round with a last-gasp clincher from El Hadji Diouf but will find it tougher away to the […]

DUNDEE UNITED are back in action just three days after a superb win against Aberdeen. Peter Houston’s side played some great stuff but the boss admits he’ll have to make changes to keep his men fresh. In a tough schedule United also face Motherwell in the Scottish Cup on Sunday and Hearts next Wednesday. Houston has eye on that game […]

MAN CITY have been long-term Europa League favourites but they might struggle to live up that billing tonight. Roberto Mancini has been moaning about fatigue in his squad but isn’t resting players for the gruelling trip to freezing Kiev. Dinamo are unbeaten in nine and of course well rested after the end of the Ukrainian season. City haven’t won in […]

LIVERPOOL have named a strong squad for tonight’s Europa League clash in Braga. However, boss Kenny Dalglish will be without Luis Suarez, the man who inspired Sunday’s 3-1 win against Man United. Dirk Kuyt might have netted a headline-grabbing hat-trick but it was Suarez who pulled the strings. With the striker unavailable it could be the right time to unleash […]

SPURS have been magnificent in the Champions League and their dream run should carry on tonight. The White Hart Lane men will take great satisfaction from staying in the tournament longer than Arsenal but what they really want is a quarter-final slot. And they should get it after beating AC Milan 1-0 in the San Siro in a storming first […]

CAN Everton be trusted? And can they be trusted at odds of just 4-7. We’ll find out the answer tonight and I suspect for once it could be yes. The Goodison Park side have let punters down on several occasions this season at odds on – most recently at home to Reading in the FA Cup last week. But Davie […]

BARCELONA are 11-8 favourites with Ladbrokes to win the Champions League after knocking out Arsenal. Bookies were left licking their wounds as the well-backed Spaniards eased through with a 3-1 win. David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “It was a bleak night. Lionel Messi opening the scoring and a 3-1 scoreline were both lousy results. We’re feeling Arsene Wenger’s pain.” Real […]

THE matches keep coming thick and fast in the Scottish Football Leagues – and our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been back on the case in the hunt for a winning treble. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and Dunfermline’s home clash with Ross County. Jim McIntyre’s Pars suffered a real blow in their promotion push at the […]

IT’S 12 years since the New Firm fought out a 0-0 draw – so you’d expect plenty of goals tonight. Well, don’t be sure. While the English top flight again went goal crazy over the weekend the SPL was the timid neighbour. I warned you about a negative both teams to score trend at the weekend. In the previous month […]

LAST week I suggested if Chelsea beat Man United the only team to benefit would be Arsenal. As they say a week is a long time in football and with the top two wobbling more than Jordan (not Joe) the door has cracked open for the Blues. It’s still a big ask but if they beat Blackpool tonight they’ll have […]

CELTIC’S workmanlike win over Hamilton yesterday stretched their SPL lead to eight points – putting the pressure back on Rangers. My only tip on the game was to back the Bhoys at 10-11 to win to nil and that duly came up against shot-shy Accies. Rangers head for St Mirren trying to put the disappointment of their Scottish Cup exit […]

SPRING is in the air and we look set to have a full fixture card in the Scottish Football Leagues. And our lower-league expert Joe Wallace has been hard at work on the look-out for a winning treble. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and Dunfermline’s clash with Morton at East End Park. The Pars go into this […]

IT’S been three out of four in the weekend early pick feature after last week’s success by Queen’s Park. All three selections have been at decent prices and I’m aiming to raise my success rate to 80 per cent. With everything going so well I’m taking a chance on lowly Second Division side Stenhousemuir. They were my Super Single last […]

IT’S four down and three to go in the Old Firm saga this season. Celtic and Rangers meet at Parkhead in a Scottish Cup fifth-round replay a couple of weeks before contesting the Co-operative Cup Final at Hampden. So far it’s 2-1 Celtic in league clashes with the one cup draw forcing this replay. Celtic were 3-0 winners in the SPL […]

THERE is one match in the SPL tonight and St Johnstone v Aberdeen looks a draw. Saints were 4-0 gubbed at Rangers at the weekend – with the early loss of Michael Duberry not helping their cause – but had been in decent form up till then. The Dons are tough to beat under Craig Brown, as Hearts discovered at […]

In England all eyes will be on Arsenal as they bid to bounce back from Carling Cup Final defeat against Orient in the FA Cup. The Gunners struggled to take care of Leeds and Huddersfield at home in previous rounds and this should be more of the same. Arsenal should win but look at Orient plus two at 13-8 with […]

CHELSEA are 12-1 for the league with Ladbrokes after beating Man United 2-1 last night. United have been edged out to 4-7 with Arsenal the main beneficiaries with their price trimmed to 7-4. Reading upset Everton at Goodison Park to earn a 33-1 quote for the FA Cup with Ladbrokes. Spokesman Alex Donohue said: “United remain odds on for the […]
