Mark Walker's Scottish Tips

Partick Thistle came up trumps for us in some style last week and they can keep up their recent surge in form by winning at Morton.

The Jags finally clicked last week – and that's something they had been threatening to do for some time – and hammered Hamilton Accies 5-1.

They have managed to get Scott Robinson back to top form and he is a worthy sidekick to veteran striker Brian Graham.

Thistle have probably the best squad in the Championship, in terms of depth anyway and may yet have a major say in its destiny, especially with Falkirk dropping points last week.

Morton earned a much-needed victory at Raith Rovers last week and, as impressive as that was, it was their first win in seven games.

Kris Doolan's Jags have won four of their last five and drawn the other and can win in Greenock at McBookie.com's 21/20.

Ross County look too big at 9/5 to beat Motherwell in Dingwall.

Well have enjoyed a fine season so far and look to have a decent chance of reaching the top six, but a trip to the Highlands is a really tricky place to go this season.

The Staggies are poor travellers – as a 3-0 defeat at Dundee United showed in the last game before the international break.

But it's a different matter at home where they have only lost to joint Premiership leaders Celtic and Aberdeen and both to goals right at the death.

They've defeated Dundee and Kilmarnock at home and are very tempting at 9/5 with McBookie.com to beat Motherwell.

Peterhead saw their recent winning run come to something of a surprising end last week at home to improving Edinburgh City.

But the Blue Toon can get back on track in League Two at 23/20 with McBookie.com against a managerless Forfar Athletic side.

The Loons remain rock bottom of Scottish football and fired Ray McKinnon the other week, with former boss Jim Weir reappointed.

They ran leaders Elgin City close last week, but have managed to win only one league win all season at Station Park.

Peterhead have plenty of experienced players like Peter Pawlett and Cammy Smith in their side and had won their previous two games against Spartans and Stirling Albion.

And they look a fair price to return to winning ways in Angus.
