Prediction : Rangers 3-1 Motherwell

Rangers tore Dundee Utd a new ass midweek with a 5-0 hidding, showing that Ally McCoist has worked out how to set up with his depleated troops. I seriously under-estimated them in that game but to be honest Dundee Utd were very poor and the game was over early doors. Motherwell have already secured champions league qualifying for next season and they will be delighted with that and can just play this match for pride but manager McCall being a former Ger will want to put in a decent preformance. Being Rangers last home game of the season I expect a full house in Govan and nothing but a home win. I'll be smashing RANGERS -1 on the asian handicap @ 2.02 (BET VICTOR)

Probable XI - Langfield, Jack, Anderson, Considine, Reynolds, Fyvie, Rae, Arnason, Masson, Vernon, Magennis (4-4-2)


Prediction : Kilmarnock 1-0 Aberdeen

Aberdeen getting beaten at home by Hibs midweek really sums them up. Too many first team players missing and a terrible squad to boot. Expect Brown to be sacked at the end of the season and them to rebuild again. Kilmarnock have won this fixture on the last 3 occassion so I expect same again! HOME WIN @2.5 (William Hill) looks ok.

Probable XI - Esson, Gillet, G.Shinnie, Williams, Tokeley, Meekings, Doran Tansey, Hayes, Tade, McKay (4-4-2)


Prediction : St Mirren 2-1 Inverness

Inverness have only had 1 win in their last 14 matches including 8 defeats. If they had not had a relatively good first half of the season they might have found themselves in the relagation position. Whereas, St Mirren have just posted back to back wins against Kilmarnock and Hibs and seem to be ending the season well. However, Inverness is a bit of a bogey team for them having only 1 win in their last 9 meetings. I reckon we will see goals in this match and I am happy to take the OVER 2.5 @ 2.1 (BWIN) side bet on anytime scorer Steven Thompson @ 2.75 (bet365)
