Football – Scotland – Premiership Betting Tips

It’s a quick trip up north to Scotland for my next pick with eighth placed St Johnstone taking on second placed Rangers at their McDiarmid Park as the hosts look to record back-to-back home wins for just the second time this season.

St Johnstone registered a 2-0 home win over Ross County on Saturday but despite that win, The Saints are still firmly ensconced in the relegation round places with six points separating them from sixth placed Kilmarnock ahead of tonight’s Premiership action.

Prior to their much needed win over Ross County, St Johnstone had gone seven league matches without a win which included four defeats to Dundee United, Partick Thistle, Hearts and Motherwell, while results at home have been poor in recent times, losing six of their last nine on home turf amidst an overall record of  4-3-6  12/20.

Rangers occupy second spot in the Scottish top flight, nine points behind the usual suspects, Celtic, but you get the feeling that Rangers are now starting to close the gap on Celtic’s long-held dominance after a few years in the wilderness.

The visitors come into this clash on the back of four wins on the trot in all competitions having registered league wins over Partick Thistle, Hamilton Academicals and Hearts in the league, along with a heavy 6-1 win over Ayr United in the FA Cup.

In the Premiership, Rangers hold a commanding away record of  10-2-2  32/16 which matches Celtic’s record, but they’re also the highest goalscorers away from home in the Scottish top flight, with Colombian striker, Morelos (12 goals) leading the way.
