Live on ITV: Tues 20.00: Scotland are too big at 11/4 (Betfred) to defeat England in the pair’s international friendly at Celtic Park.
Even though there are no points at stake and it’s not part of a tournament, to call the showdown between Scotland and England a ‘friendly’ would be slightly misleading given that there’s likely to be nothing friendly about it.
Indeed the clash looks likely to be as competitive as a supposedly non-competitive fixture can be and punters fancying it to boil over at Celtic Park can back the referee at 9/4 with BetVictor to brandish a red card at some stage.
Despite enjoying home advantage Gordon Strachan’s boys are a whopping 11/4 via Betfred to sting the Auld Enemy on their own patch since the first time since a 1-0 Rous Cup triumph at Hampden Park in 1985.
The visitors meanwhile, are 6/5 (Ladbrokes) to come out on top, just as they did in last year’s breathless Wembley scrap and Skybet mark 12/5 against the contest finishing all square.
The latter isn’t without appeal in light of how close the August 2013 contest turned out to be, even though England eventually prevailed 3-2, and punters keen on a speculative flutter could do worse than consider Coral’s 18/1 for it to finish two-each.
In front of the Tartan Army however, the Scots might have a slight edge and they’ve certainly been underestimated against a Three Lions side that regularly fails to convince.
Subsequently, one of the best bets is Paddy Power’s 13/8 chalked against the hosts in the ‘Draw No Bet’ market but with Strachan’s charges set to be fired up and coming into the clash on the back of a vital victory over Ireland, they could be worth a small play to win the game outright.
