Our soccer expert is all set to guide you through an exhilarating Scottish Premier League week 15, kicking off Friday, 24 November 2017.
The past week shocked fans with Aberdeen and Rangers both suffering unexpected home defeats against lower-ranked teams. But for Celtic, it was the usual domination, capped off by a stunning free-kick from Leigh Griffiths that extended their lead at the top.
As the League Cup semi-finals heat up this weekend, only four league clashes remain — and they promise plenty of excitement and betting opportunities. Let’s dive into the action!
Friday 24 November
Dundee 9/2 | Draw 3/1 | Rangers 11/20
Could there be a more opportune moment for Dundee to host Rangers at Dens Park? Probably not! Rangers were stunned at Ibrox as Hamilton Academical scored their first away victory against the Gers in nearly 91 years. Dundee’s home draw with fellow strugglers Kilmarnock ended their five-match losing streak, giving them a flicker of hope for this challenging fixture.
Rangers’ recent defeat shocked many, especially after back-to-back wins over Hearts and Partick Thistle. Now, they’ll aim to regroup and put that loss behind. While catching Celtic for the title might be a stretch, securing a Europa League spot is vital. Rangers look strong favourites and are worth backing at 11/20.
Saturday 25 November
Hamilton 36/10 | Draw 26/10 | Hibernian 7/10
Hamilton will be on a high after their 2-0 win against Rangers at Ibrox, with second half goals from David Templeton and Darren Lyon sending the home fans home early. Undefeated in their last four league games, the Accies are confident to at least nab a point against Hibernian.
Hibs, the form team prior to their surprise 91st-minute loss that broke a winning streak, remain favourites. But Hamilton’s recent performance means the bettors should consider the home win or draw at even money. Worth a punt!
Hearts 17/20 | Draw 24/10 | Ross County 31/10
Hearts’ home woes continued as Kilmarnock’s late goal ruined their Tynecastle return, resulting in a third straight league defeat. They face Ross County this weekend, a match they cannot afford to lose as they aim to climb from the bottom half of the table.
Although Ross County defended stoutly against Celtic, they still fell to a magical free-kick from Leigh Griffiths. Hearts’ must-win status, combined with a solid 17/20 price, makes them an attractive bet for this game. Get in on the action!
Kilmarnock 34/10 | Draw 49/20 | Aberdeen 8/10
Wrapping up the weekend is Kilmarnock versus Aberdeen. Both need points after poor recent results. Kilmarnock managed a draw last weekend but will be eager for more.
Aberdeen’s surprise 2-0 loss at home to Motherwell hurt their title hopes, as Celtic pulled six points clear. Known to perform better away, the Dons should rebound well here. Backing Aberdeen at 8/10 is a smart move.
Quad Tipped at 9.32/1
Rangers win 11/20
Hamilton win/draw 1/1
Hearts win 17/20
Aberdeen win 8/10
