Punters Pal - Cup Quarter Final

After the win in Hamilton last week, you'd expect Rangers to be a nailed on certainty for the cup tie against the same opposition at home this week. Wednesday proved there is no such thing as a certainty in football. Best price for us, though, is a miserly 1/4 at Sporingbet. The draw can be snapped up at 11/2 with Skybet, and the unthinkable is 14/1 with BlueSq and 888.

HT-FT betting is usually where the better prices can be found on a game like this. You can get 8/11(Paddypower) for Rangers to be leading at HT, and win the match, And I think that's a great price. Other ones to look out for are the 4/1 at VictorChandler for Draw-Rangers, or 9/1 (BlueSq) for the Draw-draw.

First goalscorer is always tricky, Ferguson last week, or Black in midweek weren't even thought about. Boyd is always shortest, and rightly so, and this week its 100/30 with Betfred. Fleck is 6/1 with the same company, and a few others, while Kenny Deuchar (who scored a few for Gretna at Ibrox last season) is 20/1 with Extrabet. Trying to work out the starting XI here can be tricky, but you get your money back if a goal is scored before your pick takes the field.

Correct Score always seems a hard one. Nothing worse than a £10 on 4-0 and we score a fifth in the dying seconds. A repeat of last Saturday's 1-0 win can be got at 7/1 with Tote and Stan James. A 3-1 win is 12/1 with SkyBet and Extrabet, or if you fancy a 7-1 win again, you can get 225/1 with PaddyPower.

As it's live and a cup tie there are plenty of specials, so have a look around your bookie of choice. The betting exchanges also sometime shave slightly better odds, so shop around.
