Cappielow face-off

MOST Morton fans would have bitten your hand off if you had offered them seven points from their opening trio of games.

Likewise, Hamilton supporters will be delighted with the three wins out of three they have managed so far.

Unless they share the spoils, however, an outcome Extrabet chalk up at 5/2, one of the high-flying pair will see their impressive record take a significant dent as they prepare to face-off at Cappielow Park today.

Jim McInally’s men will start as SportingBet’s marginal 5/4 favourite, with the equally buoyant visitors on offer with bet365 at 13/8. Given that the Ton possess home advantage, the bookies look to have called it about right.

Subsequently, a slender home win is where the shrewd cash will go. Both VCBet’s 15/2 for Morton to notch the only goal of the game, along with the 9/2 William Hill mark against McInally’s charges nicking it despite going in level at the interval, are expected to be popular.

The Accies meanwhile have defended stoutly so far this term, conceding just one goal to date, so supporters hoping for a glut of goals are likely to be disappointed unless they compensate themselves with a wager on a tally of fewer than three at 9/10 with SportingBet.

Stan James’ 6/1 shots Kilmarnock have yet to taste defeat this season and they will be full of confidence as they prepare to host Rangers. However, it’s the rampant ’Gers at 8/15 (Coral.co.uk) that look primed to continue their excellent run and they can again get on the goal trail at Rugby Park where the sides are 4/6 (Blue Square) to net on three or more occasions.

Celtic too can bag three points at the expense of Hearts. The visitors, Betdaq’s 15/2 outsiders, have started somewhat sluggishly and their lack of cutting edge will cost them dearly at Parkhead, allowing the Hoops (2/5, Portlandbet) to win comfortably.
