What price Kris Commons to score?

|

Kris Commons Celtic newsWho would bet against Kris Commons finding the net at Tannadice today? Weather permitting of course.

The former Derby midfielder has been on fire since joining Celtic with three goals in less than four matches.

A debut strike against Aberdeen after just six minutes set the tone, last week at Ibrox it took him 15 minutes to match the other Kris- Boyd’s- Old Firm record as he pushed Gary Hooper out of the way to slot his shot past Allan McGregor.

For good measure Commons also netted against Norther Ireland, scoring for the second game running for Scotland.

Bet365 are offering 6/5 on Commons finding the net with the new bhoy priced at 9/2 to score the first or last goals.

With 13 goals in their last four matches there are goals all around the Celtic side with Commons, Scott Brown, Charlie Mulgrew and Thomas Rogne all recent scorers.

To win today Celtic are priced at 8/15. On the scoring front after missing out at Ibrox Gary Hooper looks decent value at 20/21 to score at anytime with Anthony Stokes at the same price.

Hooper netted both goals during Celtic’s controversial 2-1 win at Dundee United in October- a result that Neil Lennon would happily settle for today.

“I don’t think you will get a game like that, or the fall out, for a while,” the Celtic boss admitted. But if it happens, it happens. As long as we get the same result then I will be delighted.

“It was a superb performance. We created chances and got the breaks we deserved. It was a cracking game and Dundee United contributed greatly.

“It was the first time I noticed the spirit in my team, the desire to win. There was real quality to the attacking play and it was pretty relentless.

“We are on a decent run now but that can all change and the players are aware of that.

“It helps there is a good level of confidence and belief. We just have to keep maintaining that.”
