AFTERNOON TEED UP FOR A HOOPS WIN

-

CELTIC PARK is famous for raucous European nights but it could be more like afternoon tea when Ferencvaro­s come calling in the Europa League today.

The 3.30pm kick-off will ensure Parkhead isn’t packed to the rafters and that’s a blow for Hoops boss Ange Postecoglo­u as it’s a must-win game after defeats to Betis and Leverkusen.

Thankfully Ferencvaro­s are a step down in class from those two and the Hungarians are also without a point in Group G.

Every match in the section has been a thriller, with over 2.5 goals landing in all four, so we should get more action this afternoon.

Over 2.5 strikes pays just 8/11 with McBookie here but if you combine that with a Hoops win the odds increase to 7/5.

Kyogo Furuhashi has been a livewire in Euro games for Celtic and the Japanese forward appeals at 59/50 for anytime scorer (Unibet) while SkyBet offer a tempting 10/1 on David Turnbull scoring from outside the area.

The Hoops clash is UEFA’s starter for a big night of Champions League action and former Celtic centre-back Jack Hendry faces English champions Manchester City with Club Brugge.

The Belgians held PSG at home and always look a threat in attack so I fancy both teams to score tonight at evens with SportNatio­n.

Liverpool have now scored two or more goals in their last eight after battering Watford 5-0 in the Premier League at the weekend.

I cashed in by backing over 2.5 Reds goals on Saturday but they will find it harder tonight against Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid.

The La Liga champions have kept clean sheets in four out of five matches at home so I’m betting against BTTS at 21/20 with BetVictor.

Super singles

Kyogo anytime scorer (59/50, Unibet), BTTS no in Madrid (21/20, BetVictor).
