Scottish League One: Improving Stranraer worth backing at Forfar

IT'S a relegation six-pointer in League One in Scotland and I'm taking bottom side Stranraer to get another positive result as they travel to face fellow strugglers Forfar

I'm also on a another relegation fight in the Scottish Premiership as Hearts host Hamilton in a match where all the pressure is on Hearts and boss Daniel Stendel.

I'm backing goals at Ibrox as away-day strugglers Livingston travel to Rangers who'll be hurting after essentially handing the title to Celtic after to defeat at Kilmarnock on Wednesday.

Finally, I head to my favourite English National League south side Billericay who are at home to Dartford.

You can listen to all my thoughts and tips on the above matches on this week's Gambla Betting Podcast.

Forfar vs Stranraer (KO 3pm)

It's do or die for Stranraer as they have the opportunity to close he gap on Forfar to 4 points but defeat would leave them all but doomed.

They are unbeaten in 5 league games, and despite those 5 games being draws, you need to look a bit  deeper to see who they have played.

Their 0-0, 1-1 and 1-1 draws against the league's three best sides (Airdrie, Falkirk and Raith Rovers) is a terrific return given the 30-point gap between the sides. They also performed exceptionally well against Rangers and can take confidence from those results into this match today.

I'm not saying they are going to win but they are more than capable of scoring and will be relying on experienced heads Ryan Stevenson and Jamie Hamill to see them through the game.

Recommended Bet:

• Stranraer  double chance/Stranraer to score
• 5/6 (bet36 BetBuilder) (NAP)

Hearts vs Hamilton (KO 3pm)

Things aren't quite as rosy at Tynecastle as they were a few weeks ago. Defeats by Killie and Celtic leave the Edinburgh side bottom of the league and they play second-bottom Hamilton who are also in a really bad way.

It's an absolute must win match for Hearts and I feel they will get the job done against a Hamilton side whose away form is nothing short of disgraceful.

Hamilton have a lengthy injury list and Hearts should exploit that.

Recommended Bet:

• Hearts over 1.5 team goals/Hearts double chance
• 5/6 (bet36 BetBuilder)

Rangers vs Livingston (KO 3pm)

It's been a disastrous few weeks for Rangers and they have pretty much handed the league to Celtic after another shocking result at Killie to leave them 10 points off the pace albeit with a game in hand.

They host Livingston who on the road are a shadow of the team who play at home but despite Rangers' woes they should win this comfortably. Be interesting to see what sort of reaction we get from Steven Gerrard's side.

Recommended Bet

• Over 3.0 goals Asian goaline
• 1/1 (bet365)

Billericay vs Dartford (KO 3pm)

Another home match for Billericay means two second-half goals  – a terrific venue for goals this season, should see both sides find the net.

Recommended Bet

• Over 1.5 second-half goals
• 8/11 (bet365)
