Mark Walker's Scottish Tips

Cove Rangers were dumped out of the Scottish Cup last week at Livingston after a 3-0 defeat.

But they missed enough chances to win the game and can show their class by beating Annan Athletic at 17/20 with McBookie.com.

Paul Hartley's League One side outplayed their Championship opponents for long spells, but a combination of poor finishing and an inspired performance from Livingston keeper Jerome Priot frustrated them.

Cove have now pushed former Aberdeen and Hibs midfielder Fraser Fyvie into an attacking role and he's formed a decent partnership with club legend Mitch Megginson up front.

They have a decent mixture of experience and youth too and they are one of the teams who should be pushing on at the business end of the season.

Prior to that defeat in West Lothian, they had won three in a row including a 4-0 romp at league leaders
Stenhousemuir.

They were held to a draw by Montrose in midweek, but can make up for that with a win against Annan, who have won their last two games but only won one in 12 before that.

Morton are one of the form sides in the Championship and look a really solid bet to beat Airdrie at home with an odds-against 21/20 with McBookie.com.

While the Diamonds were getting thumped at Dundee last week in the Scottish Cup, Morton had their feet up with no game.

They have gone under the radar in the Championship but Dougie Imrie's men are in terrific form.

Morton are unbeaten in seven games and have beaten the likes of Partick Thistle, Queen's Park and Dunfermline. They have a reasonable chance of a play-off spot if they continue to progress.

Airdrie looked doomed, but have at least won their last two league games. But their insistence of paying it out from the back cost them at Dundee last week and you can be sure Imrie will target that in Greenock.

Take a chance on Hamilton Accies bursting Scottish Cup heroes Queen's Park's bubble.

The Spiders stunned the world with their incredible 1-0 win at Ibrox against Rangers…and they have been celebrating it all week.

Accies lost a last gasp goal at St Johnstone and could easily have created another shock.

Prior to Ibrox, Queen's Park were actually in poor form with defeats to bottom side Airdrie and to Morton.

Hamilton have already beaten Queen's Park this season and how often do we see giant killers flop in their very next game!
