JUNIOR football tipsters Owen Scott and Paul Petrie have had no luck with the weather but most matches will survive this weekend – with the fourth and fifth round of the Scottish Cup being staged.
William Hill's Owen has banked £15.27 this season while McBookie's Paul is on £153.20 to £10 stakes. Here's what the duo are on this weekend.
Owen writes: “Hopefully this is the week the Hurlford v Bo'ness match finally takes place. I'm sticking to my guns and taking holders Hurlford at 1-1 to win this tie and book a place in the next round of the Scottish Cup.
Next I'm taking Largs at 7-5 in a match that was switched to the Ayrshire side's plastic pitch to ensure its played as they host Cumbernauld. This will be a difficult tie for Largs but I reckon they can get the three points which will see them move forward in their goal of remaining in the division.
My final match this week is in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup where I'm taking Musselburgh at 1-1 away to Fauldhouse. Musselburgh have been in good form of late and I reckon they will get the win to book themselves a spot in the quarter-finals.

Paul writes: First up I am going for Auchinleck to beat Bonnyrigg in the Scottish Cup at 4-9. While the Ayrshire giants could have landed an easier draw they will still be delighted with a home game and should be too strong.
Next I am backing Tayport to beat Bathgate at 9-10. As I said last week Tayport need to win these games if they are going to take the title and I fancy their chances.
Finally, I am taking a punt in Luncarty to beat Downfield at 7-2. They started the season as first and second favourites and there is no doubt Luncarty have been disappointing this season but this big game could see them raise their game.

How we doing Mr F you off to the Clydebank game today ? Good news on the grant for the new stadium. Shettlestone have given Pollok two close games should be a good tie. They have a centre half who is a stick on for a card his timing in the tackle is terrible. They also have a big striker who cause Lok all sorts of problems.
Not been on for a while due to the weather just gave the betting a miss. Glad to get back into things. After getting 6/10 coupons up I’ve struggled for a while.
Today’s treble is
Pollok, Hurlford and Beith. £10 pays £79 back.
Was looking at doing a safer odds treble with Auchinleck, Bellshill and Linlithgow paying 2/1 usually do a lump bet on this one but haven’t for some time.
Hendrie89, just leaving – 2.15pm KO and looking forward to first game in 6 weeks. Expect a tough match today and we’ve lost our best player Jamie Campbell for the rest of the season so don’t know what to expect. Stadium news should lift the place though. Good luck to everyone with all your bets – I’ll check in after the match and before I head to the Sunday Snail for a late shift.
