Celtic travel to Pittodrie today as Mowbray’s men attempt to close the gap on an off-duty Rangers, live on ESPN from 12.30pm.
The Glasgow side can move within five points of the league leaders but know anything other than maximum points will leave the door open for Hibs to continue their surge towards champions league football.
The Bhoys have problems in defence with Loovens, Hooiveld, O’Dea and Hinkel all missing whilst the Dons will set up without the injured Peter Pawlett. With so many first team regulars missing, individual errors look a distinct possibility, meaning we could be in for a high scoring affair. Over 2.5 goals is attractively priced at 3/4 with Bet365 whilst Hoops followers can enjoy the 8/13 on offer from Extrabet.
Jimmy Calderwood’s rejuvenated Kilmarnock side entertain St Johnstone from 3pm in a match which could see Killie distance themselves from the relegation scuffle below.
With a change in manager prompting a return to form for the Rugby Park outfit, they have embarked on a five game unbeaten run and considering the Saints have won only three games on the road all season, the 13/10 (Victor Chandler) about a home win looks generous.
Down in division one, Partick Thistle can move back into promotion contention with a home win over basement boys Airdrie United.
United have won only two games away from home this season and considering Thistle put five past the visitors during their last meeting, the 8/13 (Bet365) on Ian McCall’s men should be trusted.
Punters who prefer larger odds may want to consider Greenock Morton’s visit to Queen of the South. Queens have been the surprise package of the season, keeping apace with the leading pack, but considering the Greenock outfit haven’t lost at Palmerston Park in their last six visits, Ladbrokes 4/1 about an away win certainly merits an interest bet.
