Celtic beat St Johnstone

There’s few teams in British football with a better record than Celtic this term and they remain unbeaten in the Scottish top-flight under Brendan Rodgers. A 2-1 win over Rangers before the winter break was followed by a 3-0 Scottish Cup cheer over the minnows of Albion Rovers.

The Hoops are razor sharp this season and really don’t look like they will lose a match. They came back from a goal down at Ibrox, and I don’t think St Johnstone, who lost 3-0 to Dundee in their last league start, are anywhere near being good enough to stop the champs. 2/9 is fair.

Hearts beat Raith

Hearts continued to struggle under new boss Ian Cathro when ending the first match between these two 1-1. On-course to get their names in the hat for the next round at the first time of asking, they were pegged back by an 89^th-minute goal from McManus.

If Hearts can get through this match, and they really should on their own patch, then they will be rewarded with a home tie against bitter Edinburgh rivals Hibs in the fifth round. Everyone in the capital will want a piece of that, and the stakes are too high to miss out on. Jambos at 2/7.

Egypt beat Ghana

We stick our noses into the African Nations matches and this looks to be a real cracker, one for the purists. Egypt beat Ghana 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier back in November and, although the format and surroundings are very different, the Pharaohs are experienced enough to repeat the feat at a seriously tempting 12/5 with Coral.

Mali beat Uganda

Mali and Uganda have never previously met on competitive business, so we are taking a bit of a shot at this one, but Mali held off a very determined Egyptian side earlier in this competition and that discipline at the back gives them the edge. They round us off at 3/4.
