Dumbarton have had a ropey few years to put it mildly, but they are on the rise at The Rock and they look a solid shout to pile on the misery to Elgin City this week.
The Sons started the season at minus five points after going into administration last term where they also lost 15 points, which effectively relegated them from League One.
But they are under new ownership and there's a general feelgood factor around the club these days.
On the pitch, they have started terrifically with four wins on the spin if you include a Challenge Cup midweek win against St Mirren B.
They've won home and away in the league against Spartans and Clyde and now welcome a struggling Elgin side.
The Moray outfit have been ultra consistent this season – they have lost all seven games in all competitions!
While they have signed a few loan players, they already look like this season will be a major struggle and Dumbarton are crying out to be backed at 10/11 with McBookie.com.
Ayr United have had a disappointing start to the season but they can kickstart their campaign with a win in the League Cup at Partick Thistle at McBookie.com's 6/4.
Scott Brown will be disappointed to have only collected one point from their opening two league games at Arbroath and at home to Raith Rovers.
But with the summer signings they have made, like Dom Thomas and Kevin Holt, they are surely better than those results show.
They face a Thistle side who were walloped by St Johnstone in the opening Championship game in Perth and had to rely on a highly fortuitous penalty last week to rescue a draw against Morton at home.
The Jags don't look like promotion contenders and Ayr should have enough to get one over on Thistle at Firhill.
St Johnstone are worth an outside bet of beating Motherwell at 7/4 with McBookie.com in the League Cup.
Saints got the first leg of the treble up here last week and look very much like a side to stick with this season under Simo Valakari's attacking philosophy.
New Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou has won plenty of praise for their first two league matches with impressive displays against Rangers and at St Mirren.
But this is the first game they will be expected to win and a carefree Saints side are capable of springing an upset.
