DAILY RECORD star Mr Fixit (@mrfixittps) shares his best bets from Saturday’s Scottish action.
Rangers v St Mirren | Saturday 2nd February 2019, 15:00
Steven Gerrard would have been relieved to see the transfer window close without losing any of his top stars.
Leading scorer Alfredo Morelos and star defender Jamer Tavernier were wanted men but the loss of either would have sent out wrong signals about Rangers’ title challenge.
Morelos has netted 21 goals this season and his loss would have been massive. Gerrard sent a clear message who was still his No.1 striker when he started new man Jerman Defoe and forgotten man Kyle Lafferty in the midweek cup win at Cowdenbeath.
The Colombian was rested and is likely to be leading the line on his own as St Mirren visit Ibrox.
Both meetings have finished 2-0 this season – with Morelos scoring in both. Back another Gers win with Morelos on target any time at 10/11 with bet365.
Hibs v Aberdeen | Saturday 2nd February 2019, 15:00
Aberdeen remain in title contention and should beat a Hibs side that parted company with Neil Lennon in midweek.
Lenny’s loss will be felt even though caretaker Eddie May guided the side to victory at St Mirren last week.
Aberdeen are a tougher test and the Dons’ hopes will hinge on in-form striker Sam Cosgrove.
The big targetman has netted 10 in 10 games and looks big at 4/1 with Boylesports to net any time (he’s as short as 9/5 with Betfred and William Hill).
