Cup football returns to Scotland with the newly sponsored William Hill Scottish Cup and Hills make Celtic and Rangers joint 2/1 favourites to lift the trophy. Hills go 1/2 about either of the Old Firm sides winning the competition, while 6/4 is offered for anybody else to do so. Of course, the Cup is all about the smaller sides and Hills are offering odds on who will be the non-league side to progress the furthest and make Buckie Thistle the 7/2 favourites with Deveronvale and Spartans 11/2.
The Old Firm have won eight of the last 10 Cup Finals and it may be time for one of the others to step up to the plate, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
