Re: Scottish Football > Saturday May 10th I'm backing the draw in the Hibernian/Kilmarnock match at 12/5 with Bet365. Hibs need to win this match to avoid going into the relegation play-off, while if they do beat Killie, Kilmarnock will be the ones who finish in 11th place. Hibs matches typically recently have seen them improve in form, but come flying out the blocks, miss an array of chances and fall behind by a goal or so. This match I think will see the same, and with Killie having a proven, regular goal scorer in Kris Boyd - who's record against the bottom six is brilliant - I can definitely see an away goal first. Hibs have been missing Hanlon big time at the back, and McGivern & Nelson in particular in defence have come under massive criticism. Boyd had scored a huge 21 goals this season, and Boyd is 5/1 to score first and 6/4 to score anytime, the latter of which seems like great value. The reason i'm backing the draw though rather than a Killie win is because Kilmarnock have also been very poor lately - Boyd has carried them to many of their points. Hibs meanwhile have been improving, but the crowd will be on their back and they simply cannot seem to find the net recently. I'm backing them to get a goal but fail to get a winner, and if Killie are sitting on a draw with 20 minutes to go, they won't be pushing many forward in search of a winner they don't really need.

Re: Scottish Football > April 22nd - 26th Absolutely huge odds on Hearts this weekend and I think Hearts to win to nil at 11/2 with Bet365 is the best bet of them all. Hibs have been massively struggling recently - they've only won one in their last 15 now and have struggled to make any impact in the final third recently, even struggling to come back into the game once St Mirren had gone down to ten men against them last weekend. They have now failed to score in their last four matches, losing 2-0 in their past four (correct score 2-0 Hearts could also be a shout at a huge 20/1). Hearts on the other hand have come out of administration and won their past two matches and have not lost in four matches, since a 2-1 defeat to Dundee United in March. Big odds here on Hearts win, win to nill and 2-0 all looking appealing. Potentially lots of money to be made.

Re: US Masters > April 10th - 13th I really fancy Harris English to take the top rookie/debutant position this year at 7/1 with Bet 365. English is a newbie to the Masters but he's got a big drive and he putts well, all absolutely vital around Augusta - particularly the big hit that he has. The golfer is currently ranked number one on the PGA Tour for greens hit in regulation with a massive 73.03%, so hopefully he won't be spending too much time off the fairways and even if he does, he has a great recover rate. With a birdie average ranking third in the PGA Tour right now and an all round PGA ranking of fourth in the tour, I expect him to do well in his debut at the Masters, and at 66/1 to win outright, he's worth a couple of quid for that column too! He came fourth in the FedEx tour, currently sits 36th in the world rankings, and got six top 10 finishes in the 13 events he's played in current season so far - winning one of them and making the cut in every single one.

Re: Scottish Football > April 4th - 7th Aberdeen @ evens to beat Hibs looks a great price tonight. Hibs have been in free fall for a while now, rarely showing any signs of creativity on the pitch and very rarely looking like scoring. The team are deflated at the minute - many know they are out of contract in the summer and won't be resigning - and without the injured James McPake and Paul Hanlon missing out in defence, their back line is very open to attack. Alan Maybury should also miss out after a red card against Hearts last week. Hibs haven't won in 13 games now, and while Aberdeen have drawn their last three, they haven't lost in eight. The Dons welcomed back Peter Pawlett for the Hearts game last week - where they faced a team fighting for their lives (and they have an awful record against Hearts in history too) - and will now be looking to push on with a strong team missing only Jonny Haynes. I'm calling 2-0 Aberdeen, and that evens price looks tasty.

Re: Scottish Football > April 1st & 2nd I personally fancy Motherwell for the win in this game, and think 2/1 is a brilliant price with Bet365. Motherwell threw away the match in their last game, a late 2-1 loss to Kilmarnock, and Stuart McColl will no doubt have the team firing on all cylinders to avenge this. The team also have a bigger squad and more depth than Inverness, so I would fancy the midweek element of the tie to have less of an impact on their side. Josh Meekings, an integral centre half for ICT, misses the game for the home side, and with Richie Foran and Aaron Doran potentially out again too, the side are going to be vulnerable to the quick attack and could struggle for creativity without Doran in particular. A Motherwell win would take McColl's men into second place in the league - a massive coup for the side who have been stuck behind Aberdeen for some time now, and I expect them to play the occasion and take the win.

Re: Scottish Football > March 29th & 30th Looking at the Edinburgh derby tomorrow, I think that Hearts are madly overpriced at 23/10. Hearts need a win or a draw to avoid relegation - and while relegation is inevitable for the club in the next couple of matches at most, the team will be determined not to let it happen at Tynecastle against their rivals. Although Hearts haven't won since the end of January, they have been displaying much better performances recently - losing out by only one goal to Dundee United last week and having several chances to level as well. Jason Holt has returned from injury and this has boosted the squad, and even when they are struggling they have a great track record against Hibs, having only lost to the club once at Tynecastle in the memorable past. While Hearts have been struggling in the league, so too have Hibs massively. The club haven't won in six matches and have looked dull, unproductive and completely lacking in creativity in their past few matches. Their last tie with St Johnstone was a massive game - their last chance to get into the top six before the split - but they still didn't look able to muster a worthy performance. On the back of all this, I think this could well be a low scoring draw or a narrow Hearts win. 23/10 is a great price for the Hearts win, or the double chance at 4/5 also looks good value. On an unrelated note, only two of the past seven ties between these sides have gone over 2.5 goals. It's a traditionally low scoring game, so odds of 3/4 for unders also could be a shout.

Re: Scottish League Cup Final > Hearts v St Mirren > 17th March Looking on from this weekend's matches in the SPL, I think under 2.5 could be a good call for this game. Both team's latest results were 0-0, and even though Hearts are missing Jamie Hamill and Marius Zaliukas through injury they have had a very strong defensive record of late, keeping a clean sheet in their second most recent match too - a 2-0 victory over St Johnstone. Lee Mair, a regular stopper in the St Mirren back line, is also out through injury for Sunday's tie, but his replacement Dummett has looked solid, and they showed their defensive strength without Mair in their 0-0 draw with Dundee United last Saturday. In these teams last four meetings the teams have not gone over 2.5 once, with the score ending 2-0 three times and 1-0 once (with both sides taking two wins). Hearts currently have scored less than any other team in the SPL except bottom-placed Dundee, with just 30 goals in 31 games, while St Mirren have only netted six times more in 30 games, and with this cup final set to be a cagey affair with both sides determined to remain tight in a game that will define their season as either a success or failure, it is unlikely there will be a goal rush from the offset. If I had to choose a winner, it would have to be Hearts. Since taking over at Tynecastle, Gary Locke has tightened up the team to form a formidable outlet, with his only loss coming in his first match against Motherwell, where Motherwell got two quick goals in a game that ended 2-1 and still saw Hearts play some good stuff. While Hearts seem to be gaining some consistency and St Mirren faltering lately with a loss at home to Dundee, Hearts, who have a very good record in cup finals, should take this one, with their strong defence likely good enough to keep out St Mirren for a 1-0 or 2-0 win.
