CIS Cup First Round - 3.00pm Saturday
We've got some great match-ups in the first round of the CIS Cup. Division Three favourites Clyde are at home to First Division Cowdenbeath, who won't relish the trip to the Broadwood Stadium. Perhaps the most intriguing game sees Division One promotion hopefuls Ross County at home to Division Two favourites, Livi. There are some potential bankers for those accas too:- ICT (2/11), Dundee (2/9) and Dunfermline (3/10) look the best of these.
Highland League - 3.00pm Saturday
A new Highland League season is underway on Saturday. Last season's runaway League winners Buckie Thistle are 2/1 favourites to follow up again, and they are 1/5 to get off to a flyer at home to Clachnacuddin. 2009-10 runners-up Cove face a trip to Nairn and are 4/9 to make a winning start. But game of the weekend is the clash between 3rd and 4th from last year - Deveronvale away to Fraserburgh. Deveronvale just edge it at 5/4.
Celtic v Lyon - 2.00pm Saturday
Celtic get a quick chance to bounce back from Wednesday's 3-0 defeat in the Champions League. But punters may want to be wary about taking the 3/1 about the Bhoys. With that Champions League game still in their legs, plus new players Neil Lennon will want to try out, it seems more likely that Lyon will be the ones fielding a team closest to their first one. That could make the French side good value at around 8/11.Stakes should probably be kept small.
Celtic's New Bhoy
Hungarian Grand Prix - Sunday
The dust has finally settled after the Ferrari team appeared to stitch up the result of the German Grand Prix. And Fernando Alonso is 9/4 second favourite with McBookie to make it back-to-back wins in the Hungarian Grand Prix this Sunday. Sebastien Vettel is 11/8.
Big Al The Punter's Pal
Racing presenters for racing programmes seems the obvious way to showcase Channel 4 Racing. But the broadcaster has different ideas, and ones that don't meet with the approval of Big Al. There's a tosser of the week and some more brickbats, so click here.
