Prediction : Celtic 4-0 Hearts
Tricky
one this for Hearts as they will surely be sensible and rest their key
players for the all important cup final against bitter rivals Hibs next
week, but they know a point from this match will bring a european place
for next season. To be honest though it will probably be much easier to
stuff the Hibees at Hampden than get a draw away to Celtic!!!! From
everything that I have read Neil Lennon sounds like he is going to field
a very strong team as he wants to finish the season off in style for
their fans and let the title party take full swing preferably early in
the match. I have a number of bets for this match as follows : CELTIC HT/FT @ 1.91 (CORAL) ; CELTIC -1.5 Asian Handicap @ 2.08 (LADBROKES)
and for those who like a bit of a risky one, check to see what team
Hearts are going to field and if its weak I'll have a pop at CELTIC -3 Asian Handicap @ 6.4 (bet365),
sounds ambitious but Celtic have already beaten Hearts 4-0 at
Tynecastle this year and they recorded a 4-0 at Celtic park last season
also.

Prediction : Motherwell 2-1 Dundee Utd
Consistency has been the difference between these 2 teams this year,
Motherwell have shown that little bit more and hence are in 3rd place.
This is a proper nothing match and a definite NO BET for me.

St Johnstone v Rangers
St Johnstone
Injuries - Croft
Suspended - M. Davidson
Available Squad - Mannus, MacKay, Anderson, McCracken, C Davidson, Maybury, Millar,
Riordan, Morris, Craig, Sheridan, Haber, Sandaza, Enckelman, Oyenuga,
Gray, Keatings
Probable XI - Mannus, MacKay, Anderson, McCracken, C.Davidson, Millar, Morris, Craig, Adams, Sandaza, Sheridan (4-4-2)
Rangers
Injuries - Bocanegra, Goian, Kerkar, Lafferty
Available Squad - McGregor, Whittaker, Wallace, Perry, Bartley, McCulloch, Aluko, Edu,
Ness, Little, McCabe, Bedoya, Broadfoot, Alexander, Healy, Mitchell,
Hegarty, MacLeod
Probable XI - McGregor, Perry, Bartley, Broadfoot, Whittaker, Edu, McCabe, Ness, Wallace, Aluko, McCulloch (3-5-2)
Prediction : St Johnstone 1-2 Rangers
Rangers are without
their two central defenders Goian and Bocanegra so no doubt that excuse
for a footballer, Broadfoot, will get a rare runout. He will be up
against Sandaza after the Perth hitman has now served his 3 match ban.
However, it doesn't really concern me because I think Rangers midfield
will be much more effective than St Johnstone's. Yes, St Johnstone have
the nugget of Europe to play for but remember I reckon this will be the
last game in a Rangers strip for many of these players so I think they
will want to go out with a win. I wish though McCoist wouldn't persist
on playing McCulloch upfront as although he started out as a striker he
is anything but in his latter years! That said he will probably score
the winner here now.........
I can't help but think the odds on Rangers WIN @ 2.0 (LADBROKES) is generous here!
