Scottish Premier League


Going to take a very quick look at the SPL today and have a couple of recommendations, time restraints mean I can only give limited reviews, so will keep suggested stakes small.

First up, Rangers are now attractively priced at 1.96 to beat Hearts at Ibrox. The Gers did not play well last week, but have been creating plenty of chances, without converting them. They have had 54 shots on goal, ten more than Celtic and have hit the post six times ! Phil Bardsley is the second Manchester United player to join the Glasgow club on loan and looks likely to go straight into the starting line up. Looks like Sir Alex is doing all he can to help his old club.

Hearts were outplayed by AEK Athens in the Champions League and although I think they have very little chance in the return leg in midweek, they will still have one eye on that game, as it is worth millions to the Edinburgh club..

Think that Libor Sionko of Rangers is a fair price to get on the scoresheet, he scored on the opening day, but has had 16 attempts and hit the post twice !

My second choice is Hibernian to defeat pointless, Motherwell, who look to be in for a season of struggle.Hibs are another side that create plenty of chances and they are a joy to watch at times, on their day, they are a match for anyone in Scotland.

They have Glass and Shields back in the squad and new signings Martis and Zemmama look set to make their home debuts, the Moroccan will be given the playmaker role.

Well have not beaten Hibs in nine meetings and that trend looks set to continue.

2.5 points Rangers -1/2 1.96 asian line
1 point Libor Sionko to score at anytime 4.50 bet 365
2 points Hibernian -1/2 1.78 asian line.

Back later.

Good Luck.
