A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way....

A young Bobby Charlton is driving north to Scotland to watch the cup final at Hampden. He manages to find his way into the heart of Glasgow in good time for the three o'clock kick off.
After a couple of wrong turns, he spots the iconic floodlights in the distance and starts to head in that direction, as he gets closer and turns the corner to arrive at the stadium he is extremely disappointed to find that the floodlights are in fact those of Celtic Park.

Bobby is now getting a bit edgy and nervous that he will miss kick off, so he rolls down his window to stop a bystander: " Excuse me sir, how do I get to Hampden?"

The reply could only come from a Glaswegian as he barely broke his stride, "Keep practising Bobby!"

Scotland host Iceland in a must win game for both teams tonight. Group nine is now effectively a battle for second place as the Netherlands moved eight points clear at the top with three points on Saturday. The Scots have been victorious in all five of their previous encounters against tonight's opponents and should make it six out of six with relative ease. Back Scotland -1.0 on the Asian Handicap @ [2.15]
