Mark Walker's Scottish Tips

IT'S a remarkable card in the Championship this week and the pick of the bunch could be improving Partick Thistle at a solid 4/6 to beat Hamilton Accies.

Scottish football's second tier sees 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th, 5th v 6th, 7th v 8th and 9th v 10th!

It's the fifth place Jags who could be the safest bet here against sixth place Accies.

Thistle blew Raith Rovers away at home in the first half last week and could easily have been a few goals up. Veteran striker and captain Brian Graham called it their best display of the season, but they paid the price for all those misses as Rovers equalised with a terrific free kick from Dylan Easton.

But Kris Doolan's side are definitely improving after a really sluggish start to the season that has probably cost them any chance of the title after falling 12 points behind runaway leaders Falkirk.

But one of those days they will batter someone and while Accies have done really well to hold their own this season, Thistle should have too much firepower for them.

With the squad they have they should be doing better, but they have won three and draw one of their last four games and can get the better of Hamilton this week at a solid 4/6 with McBookie.com.

Stirling Albion look too big win win at struggling Spartans at 5/2 with McBookie.com.

The Binos came down from League One in the summer and took time to get going. But until last week, they were on a run of four wins out of five with the other result being a creditable draw at East Fife.

They will be kicking themselves last week after throwing away a two-goal lead at home to Peterhead to lose 3-2.

But they have already beaten Spartans this season and the capital side have had a bit of a nightmare campaign.

The only team they have defeated in League Two has been Forfar Athletic, who were so appalled by the setback last week that they sacked manager Ray McKinnon and the Forthbank side look a great price.

Kelty Hearts‘ last visit to the south of Scotland saw them trounce Queen of the South 5-1 in Dumfries and they look a decent shout at McBookie.com's 17/10 to win on their visit to nearby Annan Athletic.

The Fifers returned to winning ways after a rocky patch last week with a fine win against Dumbarton.

They've already beaten Annan 3-0 this season and can win again.
