Blackburn to beat Newcastle, Celtic for Rigters

Blackburn Rovers are favourites for NAC Breda striker Maceo Rigters.

Rigters was also chased by Sam Allardyce and Gordon Strachan, but the chance to play in Blackburn's first team and be part of their European campaign was the main reason to pick Rovers.
