Football Bet of the Day: Bhoys to run wild again

Celtic v Aberdeen
Saturday 15:00

In Edinburgh last night, Rangers scored two very early goals and eventually beat a 10-man Hibs 3-0 to deliver on our Asian Handicap bet with something to spare.

We're staying north of the border today as the other half of the Old Firm tries to plump its cushion at the top. Celtic can extend their lead over Rangers back to five points with a win at home to Aberdeen this afternoon. Neil Lennon's Bhoys won the reverse fixture 4-0. The league meeting before that - also in Aberdeen - they won 3-0. Victory today would be their 10th league win in a row since early October. We're backing the leaders to make it a perfect 10 with something to spare.

Celtic are W9-D0-L0 in the league at Celtic Park this term. They've won those games by an aggregate of 31-3.

Third-placed Aberdeen are generally having another solid campaign under Derek McInnes. However, they lost their last away match 0-3 at Hibernian and, earlier in the campaign, lost 0-5 at second-placed Rangers. We fancy the in-form league leaders to win by a couple of goals today - maybe more.
