4 SPL games tonight. 

Celtic have been off the boil of late and look vulnerable but Motherwell are poor, new manager not had desired impact  might be next season before his ideas get through to the team.    I fancy Celtic win by at least 2 tonight not a recomendation but anyone wanting a bet could do worse. 

Dundee will be too strong at home for Killie and despite having one of worse home records in SPL, I fully expect them to beat Killie.  21/20 seems a good price.

I've tried to be onside with Thistle a few time but more often than not I have got them wrong I think.  Although still showing a slight profit due to catching them at right price.  Tonight though I think Hamilton will do a job on them, I don't thnk Hamilton played that badly against Celtic at the weekend.  29/10 @365 looks very tasty. 

Dundee United can be brilliant one minute and terrible the next, weird team to get right.  I think I will leave this one alone to be honest.  If I was wanting to bet I'd probably go Ciftci as first goal scorer with Coral @ 5/1 out of line with most others.

Well played Thistle. 

I guess that also rules Canning out of the managers job. 

[Kmac84]

Well despite a terrible start as Caretacker manager Martin Canning got the Hamilton job. 

In todays fixtures, it's a bit late but I wouldnt be rushing out to bac Celtic at 1/5.  We will probably win but 1/5 is way to short given our inconsistency. 

Dundee United too short at home to Motherwell to consder backing.  Incosistent and although Motherwell are dire they are capable on their day of getting a point. 

I think the SPL is pretty much priced up well in the other fixtures, the one game with a bit of value is perhaps Dundee.  They play better away fro home and seem to have found a bit of form of late.    So dart one is one Dundee @ 13/8. 

Another tea I am not mad to bet is Hibs but today is a big day for them and a win will take them 2 points behind Rangers.  Then the pressure is on.   Queens are no mugs but if Hibs turn up then they will win.  11/10 is probably a bit short in terms of value but this is more one of those "feeling" bets. 

Value wise I think Montrose are probably a bet at home to my local lower league team Albion Rovers at 27/10. 

Not really a great day I don't think. 

In England, I am probably going to back Bolton at Lollerpool.  11/1 sems attractive.

Not allowed a bet today! Gl with yours!

Hibs have frustrated me all season, they have been blacklisted.

I have put the Wee Rovers up on a number of occasions on this thread, and I like what they are doing at the moment.  But Just felt today at the prices we could take them on.   Lets go Bolton though.

Predictably the media are alread ramping up tensions ahead of the newest Glasgow Derby this coming weekend.  Of course they have a duty to sell Newspapers but the media should be reporting fact and not fiction.  The club formerly known as Rangers are in this mess imo due to the lack or integrity in Scottish Sports Journalism.  For many a year there had been people making noises about what was going on at Ibrox but the lapdogs of Sir Minty never once spoke up, instead they curries flavour for snippets of exclusives about "super casinos and Hotels" but at the same time the club was slowly lingering towards death and now that has happened "the people" can't and won't accept it.   The media have once again been complicity by not facing up to the harsh reality at play.   

Along with Murray the media in Scotland, most notably the Daily Record were salivating at the bit when Craig "wealth of the radar" Whyte strolled into town.  That went well, then the merry men stood shoulder to shoulder with Charles Green despite many a warning from the good people of Sheffield. 

Most recently they are playing up Dave King at the latest potential saviour, this Guy has more convictions than Craig Whyte. 

I pitty the entire situation at Ibrox.  I was lucky enough to be at the last ever "old firm" game on the 29th of April 2012,it was a good day, Celtic won, it was the last I actually bothered about Rangers as an institution.  I won't be going to the game this weekend because I don't want to play along with this omnishambles.  I wish every Celtic fan a safe trip to the National stadium, I fully expect Celtic will do a number on this tribute act and expect "the people" will be their usual angry selves. On Monday we will be wall to wall of bad news, ther will be the aftermath, the post mortem, the inquest and no doubt the sumit and all the blame will be attributed to the fans but in reality the media are more culpable than anyone.

Thoughts on the celtic fans that paid 3k to put an ad in the paper to state that this isn't an old firm game?

Hopefully there's not to much nonsense in the aftermath of Sunday's game.

Waste of money that could have been put to better use, but I guess someone had to tell the truth.

I'm not really a fan, but Phil seems to think there will be nonsense http://www.philmacgiollabhain.ie/dangerous-myths/

Why did they do this and why isn't it an old firm game?

[celtic]

For me, people can dress it up, or down as much as they want. We are
Playing Rangers on Sunday. It will hurt more than ever if we lose, and will feel great if we win, more so than any other game against any other scotch team.

[shipitgood]

Before Christmas thought it might be close, the state of rangers just now, they'll get pumped.

Probably because we have always objected the "old firm" term.  We are not linked to them in anyway.
