Mark Walkers Scottish tips

Ayr United must be kicking themselves for having too many draws this season in the Championship, but they have a golden opportunity to add to the gloom surrounding Ross County.

The Staggies were pre-season favourites to win the league and return to the top flight, but they have made a spectacular mess of it and now sit bottom of the league.

They lost at home to Queen's Park last week which summed up their season. Every time they seem to offer a glimmer of hope they were getting it together, they flopped.
County have a squad full of experienced players with Premiership experience and have underperformed probably more than any other club in Scotland.

Ayr have drawn 11 of their 23 games and that's what prevented them from challenging St Johnstone and Partick Thistle at the top of the table.

But with a strike force of Anton Dowds and fit-again George Oakley, they should be in a strong position for the rest of the season.

And they should be able to start that with a win at evens against the Dingwall strugglers with McBookie.com.

Peterhead vs East Fife predictions

Peterhead face East Fife in a battle between two out-of-form teams, but the hosts might just have enough to get back on the winning track at McBookie.com's 6/5.

The hosts have drawn their last three games in League One, so they are not on a dreadful run or anything, but they have gone five games without a win.

However, that last win came in Methil against East Fife and the New Bayview side's form really has nosedived.

Their midweek defeat at Hamilton Accies was their ninth in their last ten games and they face a real uphill struggle to avoid the relegation play-off spot.

It's a big game with Peterhead a point ahead and they can put some breathing space between them and the Fifers with a win at Balmoor.

Dundee United vs Kilmarnock predictions

It's another exciting weekend in the top flight and special mention to our team after their outstanding tip of a shock Aberdeen win on Wednesday at 23/10.

And Kilmarnock could be worth a stab at a big price of 11/4 with McBookie.com to win at Tannadice against Dundee United.

The Ayrshire side were gutted after losing that goal with the last kick of the ball against Celtic deep into injury time.

But they looked excellent when cruising into a two-goal lead before they eventually wilted under a Celtic onslaught.

Neil McCann has done an eye-catching job injecting belief into the squad and Killie are unbeaten in nine games against United including three wins in their last four visits to Tannadice.

United had to play for 78 minutes with ten men in their Scottish Cup win over Spartans in midweek and Killie can take advantage.
