01/28/2012 -
Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A goal in each half from Steven Davis
propelled Rangers to a 4-0 win over Hibernian at the Ibrox Stadium on
Saturday, moving the club to within a point of leaders Celtic.
Davis scored the lone goal of the first half when he was played in behind the
defense by Sone Aluko and fired his shot past goalkeeper Mark Brown.
The lead was doubled 10 minutes after the break when David Healy tracked down
a long ball from Sasa Papac and beat Brown with the 'keeper out of position,
while Hibs was reduced to 10 men in the 71st minute as James McPake picked up
a second yellow card.
Aluko scored on the ensuing free kick to make it 3-0, and Davis added to the
misery for the visitors by capping the scoring in stoppage time with his
second goal of the contest.
Hibernian has lost three of its last four games and sits just one point off
the bottom of the league.
Aberdeen 1, Dunfermline 0
Aberdeen, Scotland - Scott Vernon's first-half goal was enough for Aberdeen to
extend its unbeaten streak to five games as the Dons secured a 1-0 win over
Dunfermline at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday.
The goal arrived in the 24th minute when Dunfermline goalkeeper Iain Turner
came racing off his line to intercept a pass from Mark Reynolds. However,
Vernon arrived at the ball first and headed it over the 'keeper for the game's
lone goal.
Aberdeen moves into the top half of the table with the win, while Dunfermline
has dropped seven of its last eight games and remains on the bottom of the
league.
Inverness 0, St. Mirren 0
Inverness, Scotland - Inverness and St Mirren each moved a point further from
the bottom as the two sides played to a 0-0 draw at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium
on Saturday.
Inverness put some distance between itself and the bottom with a run of three
wins and a draw in its last four games, while the Saints entered Saturday's
match on a three-game losing streak.
The closest that either side came to breaking the deadlock arrived shortly
after substitute Claude Gnakpa entered the match for Inverness in the 64th
minute.
He sent a low shot whistling past goalkeeper Craig Samson but saw his effort
strike the inside of the post and carom back into play.
Motherwell 3, St. Johnstone 2
Motherwell, Scotland - Motherwell strengthened its hold on third place on
Saturday as Henrik Ojamaa scored a pair of goals in a 3-2 win over St
Johnstone at Fir Park Stadium.
The two teams traded goals in the first half with Ojamaa putting Motherwell in
front in the 22nd minute, only for Jody Morris to equalize for St Johnstone
just before halftime.
Ojamaa found the net again in the 65th minute for the hosts and Keith Lasley
stretched the lead to 3-1 15 minutes from time before Francisco Sandaza pulled
a goal back for the visitors from the penalty spot with nine minutes to play.
Motherwell moves six points clear of fourth-place Hearts following the win,
while St Johnstone fails to claim fourth place after sustaining its second
loss in three matches.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
