Mark Walker's Scottish Tips

ARBROATH have recovered from a poor start to the season to win three League One games in a row, and they can make it four with a home win against Dumbarton on 21/20 with McBookie.com.

Gayfield stalwarts Colin Hamilton and David Gold are in joint charge and they have galvanised the club following the sacking of Jim McIntyre.

They have beaten Annan Athletic and Caley Thistle at home and went to Cove Rangers and put four past them in Aberdeen.

They face a Dumbarton side who were draw specialists at the start of the campaign, but their recent form has fallen off a cliff after three defeats in a row,

In fact, the promoted side look out of their depth this season and they have yet to win a single league game, with their only success all season coming against non-league Berwick Rangers in the Challenge Cup.

Hearts welcome their new manager Neil Critchley this week and they can claim their first league win of the season against St Mirren at Tynecastle.

It's fair to say the appointment of Steven Gerrard's former No.2 has not won universal approval among Hearts fans, but he can hardly do a worse job than this season's disastrous campaign up to now.

They produced probably their best performance of the season last week against in-form Aberdeen and were on course for a win until Jorge Grant was sent off which changed the game.

Hearts clearly took plenty of confidence from a win in the Europa Conference League against Dinamo Minsk in a game which was played in Azerbaijan.

With the squad at his disposal, Hearts surely must rise up the table and they face a Saints side who do their best work in Paisley.

They have failed to win outside of Renfrewshire on six occasions this season and Hearts can win at 4/5 with McBookie.com and welcome their new boss in style.

Queen's Park are the form team of the Championship having won five of their last six games in all competitions and they can land a nice 2/1 touch with McBookie.com at Raith Rovers.

Callum Davidson's men are defensively strong and have goals in them. They have beaten Morton, Dunfermline and Hamilton Accies recently and Raith Rovers are below Morton and Accies in the league.

The Kirkcaldy men have chalked up just one win in their last seven games and the Spiders are worth a punt at a decent price.
