Scottish Cup is one of the oldest football tournaments in the world. First held in 1873, it is largely similar in terms of format to the English FA Cup, which is the oldest in the world. The Scottish Cup is accessible to all clubs within the Scottish Football Association. The 144-year-old tournament has been dominated by Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers. The long and cherished history is one of the primary reasons for Scottish Cup betting odds being present in great numbers.

History

Celtic are the most successful team with 36 wins to date, while Rangers are closely behind with 33 titles. There is a substantial gap beyond these two clubs with Queen’s Park and Heart of Midlothian having claimed 10 and eight victories respectively. Most of the victories for Queen’s Park came during the early years of the Scottish Cup when they were most dominant. Now, though, the Scottish Cup predictions will favour bigger teams like Celtic.

Format

A knockout competition, the Scottish Cup involve pairing opposition at each stage through a draw. The first draw team gets to play at home and will be backed heavily by the football predictions. There is no extra time in the games, but the competition allows for a replay should there be a draw between the two teams after 90 minutes. The game goes into extra time only if the game is a stalemate even after 90 minutes of a replay. If the extra time also ends in a draw, penalty shootouts will determine the winner.

The semi-final and the final games are played in a neutral venue. Celtic Park, Ibrox, and Hampton Park are some of the venues where these latter games are held. Hampton Park has hosted finals more often than not. The venue has a major role to play in deciding the winner according to football betting tips.

Fourth Round of 2016-17 Season

The fourth round of the Scottish Cup 2016-17 promises to be as competitive with top Premier League teams like Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, and Hearts still in contention for the title. Celtic are undoubtedly favourites according to the Scottish Cup betting tips, but Rangers will also provide a close competition. Aberdeen and Hearts are already seen as distant favourites for the 2016-17 title according to the best odds.

The former is backed at 9/1 while Hearts are backed at a distant 14/1 for the title according to the bet online odds.
