Bookies going with head instead of heart for Scottish Cup clashes

- 

QUEEN'S PARK are out to cause another Scottish Cup upset today at Pittodrie but the bookies don’t fancy their chances of claiming another top-flight scalp.

The Spiders stunned Rangers 2-1 in the last round, causing the biggest shock at Ibrox since one of the directors asked: “Alexa, how long does a shipment of steel from China take to arrive in Glasgow?”

Having dumped Rangers in their own back yard, Callum Davidson's men won't be scared of a long trip up north to face a Dons side who still look a bit vulnerable.

But Sunday's late comeback to pinch a 2-2 draw with Dundee United made it just one defeat in five games for Jimmy Thelin’s men, with that loss coming at Celtic Park.

Aberdeen also beat second-tier Dunfermline 3-0 at home in the last round of the Cup so that’s why McBookie make them 2/5 hot favourites for a win in 90 minutes today.
