07/04/2008 - Paisley, Scotland (Soccer Betting) - St. Mirren coach Gus MacPherson is confident his side can improve on their 10-place finish in the Scottish Premier League last season and push for a top-six spot.
MacPherson accepts that his side cannot hope to challenge for a European place, but does want to see the Buddies make further progress.
"The teams with the most money and resources to spend on players will be the teams at the top and it doesn't take a mathematician to work out who they are," he told the Paisley Daily Express.
"However, there's always a surprise element, as we saw with Motherwell last year. They coped extremely well under difficult circumstances and deserved what they got.
"If you look at the other clubs above us, then hopefully we can get closer to them this season and improve on what we did last year."

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
