KevMac previews tonight's Scottish Cup tie between Queen of the South and Hibs plus has a bet on West Ham's visit to Wolves.
Queen of the South v Hibernian
HIBS have lost their last two cup ties against Queen of the South but are odds-on with the bookies to win at Palmerston tonight.
The Doonhamers sent the Easter Road side crashing out of the League Cup in 2012 and 2016 and will now bid to claim a big Scottish Cup scalp.
A trip to Stranraer lies in wait for tonight's winner after yesterday's Scottish Cup Fourth Round draw which also paired Rangers with current Scottish Cup holders Celtic.

The Championship side have home advantage on a plastic pitch yet are 5/1 with most firms to win this one inside 90 minutes and 33/10 at SportNation to qualify.
Hibs are McBookie’s 40/85 hot favourites but I’m steering clear of backing a winner and will instead go for some goals.
The last four games involving Queens have seen 19 goals so armchair fans should be entertained.
Over 2.5 goals is just 8/15 with McBookie but if you double that with a Hibs win the odds increase to evens.
The first period has been the highest-scoring half in the last four Doonhamers games and a repeat here pays 21/10 at BoyleSports.
Hibs should be on the front foot so the 4/5 on offer at McBookie for Queens to have the most cards also appeals.
Wolves v West Ham
There’s plenty of action down south but I don’t expect West Ham’s trip to Wolves to be a thriller.
So many Wolves games have been level at half-time and that bet pays evens here with Betfred.
In a packed lower-league schedule I’m going for Bournemouth to win at Blackburn and Portsmouth to beat Wigan. The double pays 294/100 at McBookie.
Super Singles
- Hibs win and over 2.5 goals (Evs, McBookie)
- Wolves v W Ham HT draw (Evs, Betfred)
McBookie Star Bet
- A special on Hibs scoring and winning over 6.5 corners pays evens
