ABERDEEN are strolling towards second place in the Scottish Premiership but could be tripped up at Hamilton on Tuesday night. The Dons have moved nine points clear of Rangers after nine wins in 10 – their only defeat was at Celtic – but have struggled on recent visits to New Douglas. Derek McInnes’s side went down 1-0 last October and […]

THERE is one thing Jose Mourinho likes more than red wine – and that’s lifting trophies. And if things go to plan today he could be celebrating his first success in charge of Man United with a vintage Bordeaux from Sir Alex Ferguson. United are 17-20 with Paddy Power to beat Southampton inside 90 minutes in the EFL Cup Final […]

DUNDEE bullied Rangers into submission on Sunday and Inverness will be eyeing up a similar game plan. Richie Foran’s side lack quality but have plenty of fight as they showed in drawing 1-1 with Hearts at the weekend. Inverness are rooted to the foot of the table after failing to pick up a Premiership win since October 26 and their […]

NEW world No.1 Dustin Johnson claimed his first win of the year at the weekend and gave me my first winner. He was majestic over the four days, with a 49-hole bogey-free run. Nobody could get anywhere near him as he finished five ahead of his nearest challenger. The PGA National Championship course in Palm Beach, Florida, is the first […]

THERE’S a big field contending this week’s Joburg Open at the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club but you wouldn’t call it a stellar cast. The competition is played over the East and West Courses for the first two rounds before those who make the cut will fight it out over the East on the Saturday and Sunday. Although the […]

LEICESTER have gone from champs to chump and look certain to lose at Sevilla tonight. Claudio Ranieri’s men qualified well from an easy group but were the top seeds everyone wanted, especially after they caved in 5-0 to Porto in their final game. And since then their form has dipped even further with the Foxes yet to score a goal […]

PARIS ST GERMAIN proved French football is on the up with their bashing of Barcelona last week – and now it’s Monaco’s turn to show they’re the real deal. The Ligue 1 leaders head to Man City in the Champions League last 16 and look to have been underestimated with bet365 going a best 5-1. Monaco lead PSG by three […]

IT’S taken six months but finally Claudio Ranieri has realised the Premier League means everything for Leicester. Forget the Champions League and the FA Cup – nothing matters except staying in the top flight. That means the Italian boss will field a reserve team today making Millwall look a great price at 2-1 with bet365. The Lions have already knocked […]

THE first playing of the Genesis Open was in 1926 and the purse was the richest prize in golf history … $10,000! Now it is one of the top tournaments on the Tour and benefits many charities, the host organisation this year is the Tiger Wood Foundation. The Riviera Golf Club is renowned for its beauty and challenging course. The […]

THE Lake Karrinyup County Club which hosts the SPS Handa World Super 6 tournament spreads around the lake after which the club is named. The Perth course has undulating tree-lined fairways with a few kangaroos lying around for the players to negotiate. First of all let me say I’m not that keen on this event. There will be a traditional […]

BAYERN knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League in 2005, 2013 and 2014 and should make it four in a row. The Gunners won their group and expected an easier draw but landed unlucky with the German cracks. They’re not as smooth a machine as the one that rattled in goals under Pep Guardiola or Jupp Heynckes but Carlo Ancelotti’s men […]

THE Champions League resumes tonight with two cracking matches that could be thrillers. First legs are often cagey but PSG and Benfica will know they need to take leads to Barcelona and Dortmund to have any chance of reaching the last eight. Both to score in the two ties is possible and pays a best 2-1 at 188BET. Paris is the […]

IT’S been two tales of one city in recent weeks with Everton moving up and Liverpool in freefall. The Toffees are unbeaten in eight since losing to their great rivals just before Christmas. Liverpool have played 10 games this year and won none. They’ve exited both cups and slipped to fifth – 13 points adrift of pacesetters Chelsea. Everton have […]

THE par-72 Palm Course, at the Saujana Golf and Country Club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, hosts the Maybank Championship this week. In its 31-year history the course has hosted the now departed Malaysian Open seven times. Set on an old palm oil plantation it’s hilly but the fairways are quite generous with the greens small and fast. Greens in regulation is […]

THE superb complex that is Pebble Beach hosts the AT&T Pro-Am. The tournament is played over three courses, the magnificent Peeble Beach itself, Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula. Playing Peeble Beach twice means greens in regulation (GIR) will be important and as with the other two you’ll need to be hot with the putter so GIR and putting average are […]

CHELSEA lost out on Celtic pair Moussa Dembele and Craig Gordon on deadline day but did win a vital point at Liverpool. The draw, which would have been a victory if Diego Costa had potted a late penalty, left the Blues nine points ahead of Spurs and Arsenal. Antonio Conte would have been disappointed with his striker’s miss but pleased […]

I THINK I need an ice cream and something to drink with all the sand and sun we’ve seen on the European Tour recently. This week it’s a short hop to Dubai for the Dubai Desert Classic Open. The Emirates Golf Club’s 72-par Majlis Course has a worldwide reputation of being a testing layout for the best golfers. Just take […]

PLAYERS on both main Tours are in the desert this week with the TPC at Scottsdale, Arizona, hosts for the Waste Management Phoenix Open for the 29th time. In 2015 the course had some remodelling done and all the greens renewed. With it being increased by more than 100 yards and all the tweaks I don’t think we’ll have a winner […]

LIVERPOOL have looked a one-man team in January – unfortunately for them that one man has been in Gabon. With Sadio Mane at AFCON the Reds have crashed out both cups – to Southampton and Wolves – and suffered a third home defeat to Swansea. It’s no wonder Jurgen Klopp sent a private jet to Africa to bring him home […]

IT’S FA Cup weekend but not for Ipswich who were bundled out by non-league Lincoln. Mick McCarthy slammed his side for being second best over two games and will demand a massive improvement for today’s Championship trip to Preston. Ipswich have won one out of five and travel to a side with one defeat in five and whose cup exit […]

ABERDEEN look on the up again and should beat Dundee tonight. The Dons have come through a sticky spell to win five games in a row – with Irish trio Niall McGinn, Adam Rooney and Jonny Hayes playing major roles. They returned from the winter break to cruise past Stranraer 4-0 in the Scottish Cup while Dundee were the only […]

THE desert swing moves to Qatar this week for the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. Doha Golf Club has eight artificial lakes so thankfully Benny An isn’t here this week after his quadruple bogey four at a par three last week. The wind though could be the biggest obstacle and prove a real test. Long off the tee and putting could […]

THE Farmers Insurance Open is played over two courses at Torrey Pines, North and South, California, for the first two rounds, with the final 36 holes being played only on the South. The revamped Torrey North has had 18 bunkers removed, leaving 41 and quite a few trees have had to be cut down due to infestation. Both courses are […]

IT’S William Hill Scottish Cup and as Greg says there are plenty of mismatches. I can’t pick where there might be a shock and we’re both certain it won’t be the David v Goliath tie that sees East Junior side Bonnyrigg Rose take on Championship leaders Hibs. Rose staged their home tie against Dumbarton in the last round at their […]

PEP GUARDIOLA wore a haunted look as he suffered his biggest defeat as manager last week. The ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich couldn’t believe what he was seeing as his side collapsed 4-0 at Everton. He responded by taking his squad to a private screening of La La Land – and that could have been a punishment. Now the Spaniard is […]
