Celtic vs Greenock Morton Betting Tips & Predictions

Celtic’s last Scottish Cup tie served them up against the minnows of East Kilbride, and while their 2-0 victory was comfortable many were expecting more of the Scottish Champions as they took on a team such as East Kilbride.

They have been drawn against another lower league side for the quarter finals too in Greenock Morton, although the visitors are only one division below them in the Scottish Championship.

However, the gulf between the sides is huge, and Celtic will be feeling very confident of making it into the semi finals on Sunday. They have relinquished some of their Scottish Premiership lead in recent weeks by failing to beat Hamilton and Dundee, so they could rest some players for this match in order to get back to winning ways in the league next weekend.

Greenock Morton’s 32 points in the Scottish Championship has them in a respectable 6th position in the table, and they will be feeling fairly confident of steering clear of the relegation zone this season. There is no chance of them resting any players for this huge clash with the Glasgow giants.

It would be foolhardy to say the least to bet against Celtic in this one. They have kept four clean sheets in their last five matches and have kept three clean sheets in a row at Celtic Park. Greenock Morton have failed to score in two of their last four matches as well, so I expect them to find it really difficult to get one past the Celtic defence on Sunday.

This makes odds of 8/13 for Celtic to Win to Nil look fair to me. I’m expecting another clinical performance from the Premiership leaders too, so a correct score prediction of 2-0 looks good to me at odds of 6/1.
