Mark Walker's Scottish Tips

A FULL Boxing Day Scottish Premiership fixture list gives punters plenty to get stuck into after their turkey and trimmings.

And first port of call should be backing Dundee at 5/6 with BoyleSports against a Ross County side who are struggling.

Dundee held Rangers to a 1-0 defeat on Saturday and although they rode their luck at times, they almost snatched a draw at the end.

Tony Docherty's side can be a bit up and down and have failed to score in their last two games which is very unusual for them.

But they were both away from home and they are a different animal at Dens Park, where they have rattled in 11 goals in their last three games, against Kilmarnock, Hibs and Motherwell.

And they are up against a County side who appear to be in freefall at the moment.

They have lost their last four games in a row and have failed to win a league game away all season. In fact, since the end of September, they have managed to collect one measly point on their travels.

Dundee should have too much for them at home and can continue their miserable run.

St Mirren face Rangers in the evening kick off and they look a solid 4/6 bet with BoyleSports to cover a two-goal handicap in Paisley.

Rangers have undoubtedly improved recently, but some of their old ways came back to haunt them last week when they missed a host of chances again – a failing all season.

They have had plenty of trouble at this ground in the past and St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson often gets his tactics bang on against the Old Firm at home.

They will press and try and narrow the game against Philippe Clement's side and can be trusted to give a battling display.

It's far from impossible they could snatch a point after two battling wins in a row at St Johnstone and Ross County, but they can win with a two-goal start.

Aberdeen have gone off the rails after six games without a win and Kilmarnock can score two goals against them at 11/8 with BoyleSports.

Killie boss Derek McInnes will be well aware his former side look vulnerable at the centre of defence and look easily bullied.

Kyle Vassell will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a flaky Dons backline and Aberdeen have a woeful recent record on the Rugby Park plastic too.
