ALFREDO MORELOS is back … and boy will Steven Gerrard be happy.
The Colombian’s been on an extended winter break and how Rangers have missed his predatory powers.
Struggling wins against Stranraer and St Mirren were followed by Sunday’s loss at Hearts to swing the balance in the title race back in Celtic’s direction.
Gerrard knows his side can’t fall further behind and the return of his top scorer should guarantee three points against Ross County on Wednesday.
Celtic beat the Highlanders 3-0 on Saturday and Rangers should be looking to do something similar although they’ve been twice in three meetings with the Dingwall men at Ibrox.
Morelos will be raring to go and I’m backing him to score first at 11-4 with bet365 while he is just 4-7 to net at anytime.
He is 9-4 at bet365 to match Odsonne Edouard’s double against County and 8-1 at bet365 to bag a treble.
Celtic travel to St Johnstone and should score a comfortable win against a side that’s lost the creative influence of Matty Kennedy to Aberdeen.
They are no bigger than 2-7 with McBookie so again consider the handicaps with Celtic -1 – they’ve covered that five in a row in Perth and scored 21 goals – 4-5 with McBookie.
Edouard was rested at the weekend before being called on for the final half hour and will start tonight.
He is 10-3 at Betway to score first, 4-1 to score 2+ and 5-6 at Unibet just to hit the target.
A first-scorer double on Morelos/Edouard will be popular at 15-1 at bet365 while both to score pays just under 2-1.
