The Land of the Celts?

Today's BookieBeater bets have been placed and it is to the Celtic isles that the money goes.

Celtic are priced at 3/10 to beat managerless Hibernian at Celtic Park. Celtic need to win to keep the pressure on Rangers.

Linfield are priced at 1/4 to beat Glenavon. Linfield have a formidable record at Windsor Park and they will be keen to take maximum points as they try to keep the pressure on Cliftonville.

For those who like a punt though - try Ballymena United at 4/7. They have been playing terrific football recently and there are whispers that they may just be strong enough to mount a serious title challenge themselves!

A No Bet Saturday?

I'm struggling today. I'm sat staring at the computer screen trying to identify where all my favourite teams are and I can't see them - at least, I can't see them playing at home against weak opposition.

Bayern Munich are away; Linfield are away; Rangers are playing Hearts; Glentoran are playing Crusaders; the top English teams are playing each other tomorrow!

One glimmer of hope is Porto but I'm not even sure I can be bothered with that! Schalke maybe? At 1-2 it is an option.

So - nothing happening today. Indeed, a look ahead to Sunday is almost as disappointing. Ajax face PSV for example. Only Real Madrid at home to Osasuna at 2-7 looks worthy of a Bookie Beater bet!
