Green machine to roll on

Nice price picked out in St Johnstone vs Celtic

The Sky Sports cameras set-up at McDiarmid Park on Sunday afternoon as defending Scottish Premiership champions Celtic travel to the challenge of locals St Johnstone from 12.30pm. We look to profit from proceedings.

The Bhoys racked up their 22^nd win of the season in midweek when beating Aberdeen 1-0 in Glasgow. Dedryck Boyata scored the only goal of the game, heading home from a Scott Sinclair free-kick on 57-minutes to end Aberdeen’s resistance.

Boyata a big price

Followers of the Scottish top-flight will recall that result was Celtic’s second 1-0 win in three matches, and the second which Boyata headed in the winner. Coral are offering followers of the trends an impressive 70/1 on that outcome again, backing Boyata 1-0 in the scorecast market. That may be worth a little interest, considering it would have been a winning bet when Celtic last played St Johnstone.

These sides have met twice already during this campaign, with Brendan Rodgers’ side winning each, 4-2 at McDiarmid Park then 1-0 in Glasgow’s east end. With their season record reading 22 wins and one draw from 23 starts, it doesn’t pay to take The Hoops on, and you won’t get them at much of a price this year, but Coral traders do appear to have cut punters a bit of slack. If you expect the green machine to roll on, back them at 4/9. That looks well worth a bet!
