Lenny’s men can take the honours
IT’S a big derby weekend with Hibs v Hearts tonight followed by Rangers v Celtic on Sunday.
They say form goes out the window when city rivals meet but bookies haven’t bought into that.
In both games there are big outsiders and a double on Hearts and Rangers pays 18-1 at betfair while Hibs/Celtic is no bigger than 19-5 at Marathonbet.
I’m in the green camp – tonight anyway – and reckon Neil Lennon’s men will edge a win.
As far for the Ibrox clash – all will be revealed in tomorrow’s Punter.
Edinburgh derbies couldn’t have been closer this season with a 1-0 home win apiece and a 0-0 draw. Hibs are a biggest 10-11 with Marathonbet while another 1-0 – and they’ve won the last four meetings at Easter Road – is 5-1 at McBookie.
Under 1.5 goals for the fourth time this term is 2-1 at Marathonbet and under 2.5 is 8-13 with McBookie.
A Hearts win is 4-1 at William Hill while a draw can’t be ruled out at 5-2 with bet365.
For a Hibs first scorer consider Florian Kamberi at 5-1 with bet365 while John McGinn, often the man for the big occasion, is 11-2 at betfair to net.
Hearts dangerman Kyle Lafferty is 3-1 with Hills to hit the target.
Meanwhile, for those looking to get on early, Rangers are a best 3-1 at Marathonbet while Celtic are 11-10 at William Hill.
