SPL Team News & Thoughts 21st Jan

St Mirren v Celtic

St Mirren

Injuries - Goodwin
Available Squad - Samson, van Zanten, McAusland, Mair, Tesselaar, McLean, Barron, McGowan, Teale, Thompson, Imrie, Carey, Thomson, Smith, Murray, Hasselbaink, Mooy, Naismith, Reilly

Probable XI : Samson, Van Zanten, McAusland, Mair, Tesselaar, McLean, McGowan, Teale, Carey, Imrie, Thompson (4-4-2)


Celtic

Injuries - none
Available Squad - Forster, Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre, Commons, Brown, Wanyama, Ledley, Samaras, Stokes, Ki, Hooper, Forrest, Zaluska, Kelvin Wilson, Mark Wilson, Loovens, Majstorovic, Cha, McCourt, Keatings.

Probable XI : Forster, Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre, Forrest, Brown, Wanyama, Samaras, Hooper, Stokes (4-4-2)



Prediction : St Mirren 0-3 Celtic

On paper St Mirren got a hiding from 10 men Hearts last week but I think the 5-2 scoreline didn't really reflect the match. They just signed Dougie Imrie from Hamilton and he may well go straight into the team. Reckon Celtic will win though, they are in great form with  11 straight league wins in a row. Over 2.5 goals @ 1.83 (188BET)

Probable XI : Randolph, Hateley, Craigan, Clancy, Hammell, Hutchinson, Lasley, Law, Jennings, Murphy, Higdon (4-4-2)



Prediction : Dundee Utd 1-1 Motherwell

Motherwell have enjoyed a lot of success against Utd in recent years. This game will be a close won thats for sure and a draw looks the likely outcome but I rarely ever bet a draw. Both Teams to Score to me looks a good option @ 1.8 (bet365) as both teams have good attacking options.

Hibs are still SHITE......................

A bet on Over 2.5 goals @ 2.2 (William Hill) appeals

Inverness CT v Hearts

Inverness CT

Injuries -Golobart, A. Shinnie, Cox, Tudur-Jones
Available Squad - Tuffey, Piermayr, Tokely, Williams, Gillet, Williams, Proctor, Hayes, Tansey, Foran, Tade, Graeme Shinnie, McKay, Ross, Esson, Meekings, Morrison, Sutherland

Prediction : Inverness 1-1 Hearts

Inverness were really poor the other night in the cup even though they went through after ET. So they may well be fatigued. Hearts really poor away record still worries me here and now the players have been paid they might not perform as well..........Its a NO BET for me

Kilmarnock v Dunfermline

Kilmarnock

Injuries - Jaakkola, Pursehouse, O'Leary
Available Squad - Bell, Fowler, Pascali, Sissoko, Shiels, Silva, Dayton, Racchi, Kelly, Kroca, Hay, Heffernan, Gros, Kennedy, Letheren, McKeown, Davidson, Johnston, Fisher, Buijs, Gordon, Nelson, Harkins

Probable XI : Bell, Fowler, Pascali, Sissoko, Gordon, Shiels, Kelly, Racchi, Hay, Buijs, Heffernan (4-5-1)


Dunfermline

Injuries - Burns , Easton, McCann, Phinn, Bell, Gallacher
Available Squad - Turner, Smith, Boyle, Keddie, Dowie, Potter, Graham, Cardle, Thomson, Kirk, Willis, Buchanan, Barrowman, Mason, Hardie, Byrne, Young, Rutkiewicz, McDougall, Burns, Kerr

Probable XI : Turner, Dowie, Keddie, Potter, Boyle, Cardle, Hardie, Thomson, Graham, Barrowman, Kirk (4-4-2)



Prediction : Kilmarnock 2-1 Dunfermline


I really fancy Kilmarnock to be winning this game but the best odds are only Home Win 1.62 (Bwin) and thats way too skinny for my liking NO BET. I've watched a fair bit of Killie recently and not really been that impressed to be honest but somehow they manage to get the results. Dunfermline are just down right poor and probably a bit deflated after losing their relegation battle with Hibs last week and going out of the cup midweek. I expect another loss for Dunfie here.

Rangers v Aberdeen

Rangers

Injuries - Naismith, Ness, Lafferty, Whittaker
Available Squad - McGregor, Papac, Bocanegra, Wallace, Kerkar, Goian, Bartley, Davis, Aluko, Edu, Healy, Ortiz, Jelavic, Alexander, McKay, McMillan, Bedoya, Wylde

Probable XI : McGregor, McMillan, Bocanegra, Goian, Wallace, Davis, Edu, Aluko, Papac, Jelavic, Healy (4-4-2)


Aberdeen

Injuries - Osbourne, Pawlett, Milsom
Available Squad - Brown, Considine, McArdle, Reynolds, Robertson, Clark, Arnason, Jack, Fyvie, Vernon, Megginson, Chalali, Fallon, Langfield, Paton, Magennis, Mackie, Masson

Probable XI : Brown, McArdle, Considine, Reynolds, Robertson, Clark, Arnason, Fyvie, Jack, Vernon, Fallon (4-4-2)



Prediction : Rangers 2-0 Aberdeen

I can not remember the last time Aberdeen won a game at Ibrox, certainly not in the last decade. They simply never turn up at Rangers. I can not believe my eyes at the price on offer for Rangers -1.5 @ 2.05 (Victor Chandler)

I can only presume this is because with Naismith and Lafferty both injured they think that goals might be hard to come by but I think Rangers will have a comfortable afternoon as usual against the Dandy Dons!
