Thurs 19.45: William Hill make champions Celtic 4/11 to get the better of St Johnstone in the pair’s SPL clash at Parkhead.
Fresh from their emphatic 3-0 victory over rivals Rangers, Celtic are just 4/11 with William Hill to pick up another three points as they entertain St Johnstone, bet365’s 11/1 outsiders.
The fifth-placed Saints have a very respectable away record but blotted their copybook on Saturday, going down 5-1 at Motherwell and that result doesn’t bode well given the Hoops’ 15 wins in 17 fixtures in front of their own supporters.
Moreover, Neil Lennon’s charges have only conceded a paltry six goals in those games so they have to be fancied at 11/10 courtesy of Ladbrokes to win ‘to nil’ at Parkhead, where Stan James offer 8/1 for Celtic to strike three times without reply again.
With four in his last four meanwhile, Gary Hooper is in decent form and he possesses some appeal at 7/2 (William Hill) to put the hosts 1-0 in front.
Recommended Bets:
Celtic to beat St Johnstone 3-0 – 8/1 (Stan James)
Gary Hooper to score first – 7/2 (William Hill)
