08/29/2010 - Motherwell, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A 73rd-minute penalty kick from Daryl Murphy was enough to lift Celtic to a 1-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park Stadium on Sunday.
Celtic was on top for the majority of the match, but it took until the 73rd minute for the Hoops to break the deadlock as Murphy fired home a penalty kick after Shaun Maloney was brought down inside the penalty area by Motherwell's Steven Saunders, who was sent off for the foul.
Neil Lennon's side was hoping to rebound from a crushing defeat at Utrecht in Europa League qualifying in midweek, and they nearly opened the scoring a few minutes into the game when Maloney had a close-range effort kept out by Motherwell goalkeeper Darren Randolph.
It wasn't until the second half that Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster needed to make a save, while Maloney continued to threaten the Motherwell net as he sent a shot just inches past the post.
The breakthrough finally arrived when a header from Daniel Majstorovic sent Maloney through on goal, only for the Celtic man to be brought down by Saunders as he entered the area.
Saunders received a red card for the challenge, and Murphy sent Randolph the wrong way from the spot.
Celtic then had little trouble in holding off the 10-man hosts while the lead was nearly extended with Patrick McCourt going close on a few occasions.
St Mirren picked up its first win of the season in 1-0 fashion over Hibernian as Craig Dargo scored the lone goal in the 58th minute, while Morgaro Gomis helped Dundee United salvage a 1-1 draw at Hearts as he scored in the 85th minute.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
