Mark Walker's Scottish Tips

Spartans surely all but wrapped up the League Two title in midweek, barring an incredible collapse.

Yet they are available at 6/4 with McBookie.com to impose their superiority on the league by winning at Elgin City.

It will be a tall order to repeat last week's 18/1 treble here at Mr Fixit, but there are a few interesting opportunities.

The Edinburgh side produced the result of the season in midweek in their top of the table clash at big-spending East Kilbride and absolutely destroyed them in a 6-0 hammering.

That sent them eight points clear at the top and, provided they don't take their foot off the gas, they should have more than enough to stay comfortably at the top.

It's hard to believe that former Scotland international striker Marc McNulty is playing with them at only 33 years old and he scored the other night at K-Park.

They've already defeated Elgin home and away this season and edged a 1-0 win against them a few weeks ago at home.

Elgin have won just one game in 90 minutes in their last nine and that came at non-league Camelon Juniors in the Scottish Cup. Spartans look good value.

Stenhousemuir vs Peterhead prediction

No apologies for picking Stenhousemuir again at 11/10 with McBookie.com to see off Peterhead in League One.

As has been stated on plenty of occasions, the Warriors' record at their Ochilview fortress is sensational – it's now 17 undefeated there since the start of August.

And of course, they followed up their Scottish Cup hammering of Championship side Morton with a solid win at Kelty Hearts last week.

They do have a couple of injuries, but should have enough firepower to see off a Peterhead side they have already defeated three times this season, including a 4-1 mauling in the Blue Toon in November.

Peterhead have only played once this year and have conceded seven goals in their last two games and odds-against another Stenny win will do nicely.

Kelty Hearts v Hamilton Accies prediction

Kelty Hearts could be worth a stab at McBookie.com's big price of 13/5 to get the better of Hamilton Accies.

Hamilton have spent the season in perpetual crisis and have had to ditch most of their established stars in a drastic cost-cutting measure.

They will be operating a youthful squad for the rest of the season and Kelty have brought in a few players and also improved. They are set to be under new ownership too.

It might be too late for them to survive in League One, but they look overpriced to beat an Accies side in disarray.
