THERE are 15 Betfred Cup ties and 12 of them have odds-on favourites – so don’t get sucked into trying a big opening-day accumulator. Last season heralded the return of the group set-up and summer football and there were plenty of surprises with holders Ross County for example falling at the first hurdle. Many sides will treat the group stages […]

THERE have been security problems for Celtic’s trip to Linfield but on the pitch there will be no worries for the Scots. Last season’s defeat in Gibraltar is long forgotten and Brendan Rodgers will have learned from that. His first competitive game was a Champions League qualifier defeat to Red Imps but there will be no red faces in Belfast […]

ABERDEEN can restore Scottish football’s battered pride by beating Siroki Brijeg tonight. Already the Dons are our the Premiership’s sole survivors in the Europa League after Rangers and St Johnstone fell at the first hurdle. Derek McInnes has set his sights on the group stage and while that’s a tall order his men should be too strong for the Bosnians […]

THE host of this year’s Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, Dundonald Links, has undergone a revamp since 2015. Several of the greens have increased in size and three have been levelled in certain areas to soften the contours. With this being the precursor to The Open you would expect there to be a good field but if you didn’t know […]

THE TPC Deere Run in Illinois is not the hardest course on the PGA Tour by any manner of means and in fact Jordan Spieth shot 61 two years ago and Paul Goydos hit a 59 in 2010 so expect low scoring this weekend. With water in play on five of the holes driving accuracy could be a factor and […]

AFTER the Confederations Cup we have the Gold Cup but this could be short on quality. Three groups of four feature powerhouses such as French Guyana, Martinique, Nicaragua, Curacao and Jamaica. Bookies expect hosts USA and Mexico to contest the Final but both have named weakened squads. USA coach Bruce Arena is looking at new faces and stars such as […]

ALMOST a year since flooding engulfed the Greenbrier area the Old White TPC course has been virtually rebuilt and again hosts the Greenbrier Classic. The 7286-yard, par 70, has two par fives, both on the inward section, and the field will be playing a course that although not completely revamped will have quite a few changes. The greens will be […]

TOMMY FLEETWOOD gave me another winner last week as the 22-1 chance triumphed at the French Open. Now I turn my attention to the next big event on the European Tour and the Rory Foundation is once again the host for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open at the magnificent Portstewart Golf Club. The Strand Course is regarded by many […]

OUR resident golf tipster Ace Venturer is a consistent winners and his picks are on another post. However, it’s always good to have a second opinion so when time allows we’ll be putting up Bryan Nicholson’s tips. Bryan is a Unibet blogger and we’ve struck a deal with the firm that allows us to post selected articles here – and […]

AFTER a $20million two-year overhaul the TPC Potomac sees the return of the PGA Tour with the Quicken Loans National. The course had been plagued by drainage and turf issues but since the renovations the Senior Players Championship has been played there with positive views. There aren’t a lot of pointers for here due to the renovations so I’ll stick […]

THE HNA French Open plays host to 23 Ryder Cup players with 58 appearances between them and a few others hoping to be here next year. There hasn’t been a French winner of this tournament since Thomas Levet six years ago and there are a few of his countrymen hoping to follow in his footsteps including Alexander Levy, Victor Dubuisson, Gregory […]

HOSTS Russia will kick off the Confederations Cup against New Zealand on Saturday aiming to do better than they did at Euro 2016. The Russians flopped badly but should edge out the Kiwis as they try to improve on their lowest-ever world ranking of 63. Russia are a best 3-10 at William Hill to get off to a flier but […]

THIS is the US Open’s first visit to Erin Hills with it’s Fescue grass fairways. Fescue is normally associated with links courses in Britain and Ireland but it is also successful in Wisconson. Fine Fescue delivers quality playing conditions and requires less water and fertiliser. The USGA has gone to great lengths to make sure this US Open is […]

GOLF tipster Ace Venturer is looking forward to the US Open and his tips have been posted on a separate thread. Regular followers of his will know Dustin Johnson is one of his favourites and he is 8-1 tournament jolly with Ladbrokes andWilliam Hill. He has had a look at Johnson’s ups and downs in this tournament down the years. Ace says: […]

NORTHERN IRELAND continue to impress under Michael O’Neill and now they have a goal machine in the shape of Liam Boyce. The Premiership’s top scorer raised his profile even more with the winner in last week’s friendly against New Zealand and is set to start with James Ward and Conor Washington unavailable. Boyce’s goal came in Belfast and the Irish […]

SCOTLAND must beat the Auld Enemy to keep their World Cup hopes alives but could face a Kaning. I’d love to tip a win for Gordon Strachan’s side – or even a draw – but my heart says we’re not good enough. My two main reasons for pessimism are: 1. We don’t score enough and 2. We concede too many. […]

THE Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg, Austria is the host to this week’s Lyoness Open on its Championship Course for the eighth year in a row. The course has nine holes with water in play and there is also the fact greens are generally small and run about 11 on the stimpmeter. Uniquely the course has two par threes that […]

AFTER a great finish to the Memorial last week where unfortunately my selection Rickie Fowler couldn’t keep a storming Jason Dufner from taking the prize the PGA Tour moves to Memphis for the FedEx St Jude Classic. I posted three tips last week and two were placed with Fowler leading until he bogeyed late on to allow the fast-finishing Dufner […]

ALL roads led to Cardiff last night and for junior football fans today they’ll be heading to equally glamorous Kilmarnock. Fierce rivals Auchinleck and Glenafton meet in the Scottish Junior Cup Final and it won’t be for the faint-hearted. If you like your football of the blood and snorters variety tune in to BBC Alba for live coverage at 4.15pm. […]

When Juventus knocked out Barcelona in the last eight without conceding I thought there and then they could go all the way. Read my thoughts on the Final.

THE Jack Nicklaus-designed Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, was named after the great man’s favourite Open Championship course in the east of Scotland. It was built in 1974 on 240 wooded acres with wide fairways but the rough at times can be penal and the small greens are fast and undulating. Driving accuracy and GIR could be important […]

HENRIK STENSON’S home club is the host for this week’s Nordea Masters. Stenson was made an Honorary Member in 2007 but has never won here. The 7,729 yard, par 73, Masters Course, one of two at Barseback, is set to test the field. The greens will be fast and true so putting will be a prerequisite and because the fairways […]

JOHNB’S antepost tipping is the stuff of legends and he has posted some brilliant winners down the years. With almost a year to go to the 1000 Guineas he has identified a potential winner. He says: As highlighted a while ago Clemmie was a horse I was interested in for next year’s Classics. I honestly feel nobody comes close to […]

IT used to be a £100m game – now it’s being billed as a £200m match. Mental eh. The money involved won’t make it a better contest as there’s really too much as stake and players will be scared stiff of making fatal errors. Sunday’s Scottish Premiership play-off was worth nearer £1m and the English equivalent could be just as […]

HAMILTON will hope to retain their Premiership status on home soil on Sunday after battling to a 0-0 draw at Tannadice on Thursday. Accies are favourites at 29-20 with McBookie to win and 4-7 to qualify but there was little between the teams in the first leg and the tie has the potential of going all the way to a penalty […]
