Tony Bloom, Premierbet's Chief Executive said:
"We're are quite happy to be the top industry price of 3/10 on Celtic in Saturday's Scottish FA Cup Final as the Scottish Champions have looked jaded in recent weeks, as the effects of a busy season look to be finally catching up with them. The best chance Dunfermline have of beating Celtic is probably at the end of the season in a one off match on a neutral ground. Celtic obviously warrant being favourites, but the result is not as clear cut as it may look on paper."
Premierbet also make Man Utd 3/10 to win the FA Cup in 90 minutes, with Millwall 9/1 and the draw available at 4/1.
"We have not seen any money for Millwall at all - not one bet. Man Utd have been popular at 3/10 and we have also seen plenty of interest in over 2 1/2 goals being scored in the match at 7/10," Bloom added.
Premierbet have seen plenty of support for both Celtic and Man Utd on the Asian handicap market.
"Celtic were available at 1.95 giving up a 1 1/2 goal start, but having taken over £15k in bets, we have had to cut that price to 1.80. Man Utd have also been backed at 1.85 giving up a 1 1/2 goal start.
