for the weekend and midweek games at one place
CELTIC will be aiming to climb back to the summit of the Scottish Premiership when they come up against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday afternoon.
The Hoops hit the ground running last weekend when hammering Hamilton 5-1 while Kilmarnock fell to a 2-1 defeat in the capital at the hands of Hibernian.
I landed [...]
THE Champions League ties went to form on Saturday and we have a break from European ties until Monday.
Bayern Munich and Barcelona both won well and my Champions League double landed at 2-1.
Well done to all the winners on day when the three Scottish Premiership games didn't go to plan apart from Hibs' win at Livingston that was [...]
THERE are two more Champions League ties tonight but Chelsea have little or no chance of joining Man City in the last eight.
The Blues start 3-0 down to Bayern Munich in Germany while the other tie is evenly balanced with Barcelona and Napoli drawing 1-1 in Italy.
I correctly predicted over 2.5 goals at Man City and Raheem Sterling [...]
IT's matchday two in the Scottish Premiership this weekend and I'm going to have a look at two of Saturday's fixtures for the purposes of putting up a cross-match Bet Builder.
Two teams that have been widely tipped to struggle this term go toe-to-toe at the Fountain of Youth Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Hamilton [...]
CHELSEA face a impossible task as they try to keep their Champions League hopes alive tonight.
Frank Lampard's men were outclassed 3-0 by Bayern Munich back in March and travel to Germany with little or no hope.
Bayern haven't played competitively since beating Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 in the German Cup Final on July 4 so could be ring rusty.
But [...]

He says: “Two correct results out [...]
WE move seamlessly from the Europa League to the Champions League but the one consistency is no fans.
I watch the Bayer Leverkusen vs Rangers game and it was a bit of non-event. There should have been 8500 Scots in the BayArena and I'm sure their noise would have ensured a better game.
Rangers went down tamely to a 1-0 [...]
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE action resumes ton Friday and Man City v Real Madrid could be a cracker.
Thrillers have been thin on the ground since the restart with no fans having a negative effect.
However, a clash between Pep Guardiola's Euro pretenders and newly-crowned La Liga champs Real is full of promise.
City performed a tactical masterclass to win the first [...]
THERE are four more Europa League ties on Thursday after European action resumed with three home wins plus an Inter success on neutral ground.
Rangers and Wolves are among the teams in action and our guys have previewed the following games.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Rangers Preview & Predictions
Wolves vs Olympiakos Preview & Predictions
Sevilla vs Roma Preview & Predictions[...]
TIMING is everything and Rangers will feel they've been given a Europa League lifeline.
When they lost 3-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen in March the last-16 tie was all over.
Bayer were flying and wonderkid Kai Havertz was the talk of Europe – but then the world fell apart.
Nearly five months on and Bayer have been in cold [...]
THE Europa League resumes this midweek with the remaining last-16 fixtures being played across Wednesday and Thursday before a single-leg last-eight format gets underway next week.
There are match previews on site for both of the Inter vs Getafe and Man Utd vs LASK Linz matches and I'm going to have a look at both of those respective fixtures for [...]
I'VE been locked down for longer than most people but I've been released to return to tipping.
I'm not back at work on the Daily Record sports desk yet but have been given the go-ahead by my gaffer to resume writing some columns as I step up my recovery.
Thanks to everyone who has kept the site going during my [...]
IT was a tale of two penalties in Dingwall on Monday night. One scored by Ross County, one missed by Motherwell.
County's 1-0 win makes them one of five teams to get off to a winning start in the Premiership but gaffer will most likely steal all the headlines after David de Gea outed his doppelganger! 😂 Good to see [...]
THE richest game in football takes place on Tuesday night as Brentford and Fulham battle it out for the lucrative benefits of a place in the English Premier League.
The Championship playoff final is notorious for being a cagey and low-scoring affair and this year's edition again looks finely poised.
Brentford are the bookies favorites [...]
IFK NORRKOPING will be aiming to climb back to the summit of the Swedish Allsvenskan on Monday evening when they play host to Mjallby.
Jens Gustafsson's free-scoring side began the latest round of fixtures top of the pile but they were knocked off their perch on Sunday following Malmo's 3-0 win away at Goteborg.
However, [...]
EUROPEAN football is looming on the horizon with the Europa League kickstarting back in to action on Wednesday.
Three British teams are still inovolved; Manchester United are 5-0 up from the first leg ahead of LASK Linz visit to Old Trafford on Wednesday, while Rangers face a tough task to turn around a 3-1 deficit when they travel to Bayer [...]
HUMIDITY, heavy rain, high winds and other adverse weather conditions can play a significant part in football betting and I usually check ahead of the more far-flung games as it is one of the many variables that overseas bettors should factor into making their selections.
As it is, the central South American sub-tropical Asuncion climate reads 44% humidity…that's 3% less [...]
Another Wembley double from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was enough to win the FA Cup for Arsenal for a record fourteenth time on Saturday.
The Gunners came from behind to beat 10-man Chelsea and it mean a full-house in our FA Cup final preview yesterday. Arsenal to lift trophy (8-5,), Over 2.5 Goals (10-11), Aubameyang to score (8-5) and Pulisic to score [...]
If anything sums up the topsy-turvy nature of the football world right now it's the FA Cup final being played on the opening day of the Scottish Premiership season.
As one curtain closes another one opens and so the 2020-21 season begins.
