I fully expect to see a full strength Rangers team here, Smith will want to deliver a trophy in his first full season which would give them a boost going into the title run-in. Hearts are one of those teams who on their day can make life difficult for Rangers and got a morale-boosting win at Pittodrie at the weekend. I'd expect Rangers to nick it 1-0 or 2-1 but at a best priced 8-13 it could be a no bet.

Big game for Celtic, a tough away game when we can't afford to drop any more points. We were terrible on Sunday although its always a difficult game at Falkirk in what is a tight, narrow pitch. Fir park is a bit wider and our flair players Nakamura and McGeady will have more space to operate in. Motherwell can play aswell and have been flying this season ( 5 2 3 at home) and are capable of scoring, this one could easily go over. New Celtic signing Georgios Samaras is in line for his debut.

I'd expect Celtic to take the 3 points here but at 1/2 I don't think its worth the risk against the strong hosts.
