Goals and cards on the Leith menu

-

NEW Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhors­t hasn’t put a foot wrong so far but faces his toughest test yet with a trip to Easter Road tonight.

The Dutchman looked on from the Hampden stands when Hibs beat Rangers 3-1 in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final just hours before he officially took charge.

He has since overseen impressive wins over Sparta Prague and Livingston but his side still look vulnerable in defence so BTTS appeals tonight at 19/20 with Unibet.

Cards also look guaranteed with Ryan Porteous having been involved in a series of flashpoint­s with Rangers.

The Hibees stopper is 21/20 at William Hill to be carded tonight while over 4.5 match cards is 17/20 at McBookie.

Aberdeen have lost three in a row but McBookie make them 4/5 favourites to get back on track with a win over Livingston at Pittodrie.

BTTS landed when these sides faced off at the Tony

Macaroni and is a decent 5/4 with McBookie in the return.

Livi won six corners to Aberdeen’s two so there may be some value backing them at +2 in the corner handicap tonight (19/20, BetVictor).

St Mirren are another team who desperatel­y need a victory tonight, having gone six games without one. Their last win came against Ross County and they face the Staggies tonight in Paisley.

The Buddies appeal at 13/11 (SBK) but over 2.5 goals looks a better shout at 29/20 (Mansionbet) after five were scored in that Dingwall meeting.

Dundee host St Johnstone in the other Premiershi­p clash and that could be a lot tighter. Under 2.5 goals is way too short at 1/2 with most firms but the half-time draw is better at 49/50 (Unibet).
