Went for a Blackburn, Hibernian and Middlesborough TV treble.

Blackburn have done fairly well since Lambert has taken over, whilst less can be said about Neil Lennon's Bolton. The latter suffering a 4-0 thumping only 2 days ago against fellow strugglers Rotherham. Blackburn's game on Saturday against Middlesborough was postponed, so having not played a game in 8 days, will be fresher than their Lancashire rivals.

Hibernian to beat Rangers. Having seen Falkirk play both these sides on 2 occasions this season, I've been more impressed with the Leith outfit. Under Stubbs they seem to be more organised at the back, and a bit less naive than Rangers, with their full backs essentially playing as wingers every game. I think Hibs can exploit this on the break several times today, and will be boosted by having McGinn's red card overturned from the Falkirk game 2 weeks ago. Rangers only seem to have a plan A, which I think Hibs will cope with well.

Middlesborough to beat Sheffield Wednesday. Again similar thinking to the Blackburn game, with the home team not playing on Saturday, and the away teams boss complaining about the time gap in between this game and his sides 3-0 home win on Boxing Day. Middlesborough are one of the best teams in the division, and playing at home with extra rest time should allow them to record a victory here.

14/1 at the moment for that treble.

Pathetic attempt.
