We said: Celtic 5-0 Greenock Morton

In truth, it should be a complete mismatch, with 52-time Scottish champions Celtic the vastly superior team, especially considering how well they are doing in the league this season. As such, it is not likely to be a matter of whether Celtic win, rather how many they win by, and we expect them to cruise home to a very comfortable victory. Read more.
