Scottish Football: Top Super Singles this Weekend
SCOTTISH football often resembles a soap opera and Jim Goodwin’s arrival at Dundee United is a belter of a plot twist. It looked like Goodwin had been written out of this season’s Premiership storylines after leaving Aberdeen under a cloud just a month ago. But he’s back as one...
Scottish Tips: Super Single and McBookie Bet Builder

Scottish Premiership: Best Bets for This Weekends Scottish Football
We saw one Premiership boss get his P45 last weekend but it wouldn’t have been too much of a surprise had two gaffers bitten the bullet after their Scottish Cup exit. Motherwell’s 3-1 loss at Raith Rovers saw the curtain come down on Stevie Hammell’s reign as the Fir...
Scottish Tips: Best Bets at Cove Rangers, Dunfermline & Inverness

IT looked like Dundee United had turned a corner under Liam Fox but they’ve now headed down a cul-de-sac called Relegation Dogfight.

SPFL Tips: Saturdays Best Bets at Livingston, Bonnyrigg Rose & East Fife
LIVINGSTON can take advantage of Kilmarnock's dreadful away record and collect all three points when they meet in West Lothian this weekend. David Martindale's side are 6/5 to get the three points and that seems a solid enough price against a Killie side who have yet to taste success...
Scottish Tips: Edinburgh vs Falkirk, Dundee vs Queens Park, Annan vs East Fife

Scottish Tips: Best Bets at Dundee Utd vs Hearts, Cove Rangers vs Hamilton, Partick vs Inverness
HEARTS can give their fans festive goodwill by winning at Tannadice against Dundee United on Christmas Eve.

KevMac’s Tuesday Tips: Goals Guaranteed in Champions League
ABERDEEN begin life without Stephen Glass tonight and I’m surprised to see them as odds-on favourites for a Pittodrie win over St Johnstone. McBookie price them at just 4/6 and that’s probably because it was dismal away form that led to Glass getting the boot on Sunday. St Johnstone...
