AT the start of the season Hamilton and Killie were tipped to finish bottom two – but only one team is living up to their billing.
Killie have lost four matches in a row after beating Dumbarton in the Betfred Cup and are pointless after three matches.
Accies on the other hand have surprised even their fans with dominant 3-0 and 3-1 defeats of Dundee and Hibs respectively.
Boss Martin Canning described last week's win at Easter Road as the best display of his reign and Accies look a good bet at Rugby Park today.
They have a good record on the plastic – their home pitch is the surface – with five wins and a draw in seven visits.
In fact Killie, who haven't scored in three games, have allowed Accies to keep a clean sheet on their last three trips to Ayrshire.
So as well as considering Accies at 15-8 with McBookie to win also look at win to nil at 16-5 with Ladbrokes.
If you want to keep the stalemate on side Accies draw no bet pays 11-10 at McBookie.
Celtic entertain St Johnstone buoyed by Champions League qualification and the prospect of big matches against PSG and Bayern Munich.
They could be tired after a long trip back from Kazakhstan but I don't see them slipping up against St Johnstone after four wins in a row at home to the Perth men.
Celtic are no bigger than 1-5 at Marathonbet while Saints are 14-1 at betfair. Brendan Rodgers's side looked defensively frail in Astana and in three of their last four in this fixture so consider Celtic and both to score at 12-5 with McBookie.
Leigh Griffiths will again plough a lone furrow up front but is in good form and 27-10 at McBookie to score first.
Jon Daly's unbeaten in two matches with Hearts and victory at Motherwell could be enough to land the job on a permanent basis.
He parked the bus at Ibrox last week but can't do that at Fir Park. This should be a close and a score draw pays 18-5 at McBookie.
Today's other match sees Aberdeen trying to maintain their 100 per cent record at Partick. The Dons have won on their last five visits to Fir Park, including 6-0 last season, and are 4-6 at bet365.
I'm not mad keen on away teams at odds on but Aberdeen look as strong as last season and should win. Stevie May hit a double last week and is 7-5 at bet365 to score again.
Tomorrow the live games are Dundee v Hibs followed by Ross County v Rangers and I'm tempted by two aways.
Let's start with Rangers who must win to ease the pressure on Pedro Caixinha. After picking up just one point in home games against Hibs and Hearts they could be relieved to be on the road and I'm them to edge it at 4-6 with Betfred.
Hibs cost me last week and with Neil Lennon “urging” on his troops they can bounce back at Dundee who are playing better than results suggest.
They were unlucky at Aberdeen last week and missed chances against Hamilton but Hibs will be desperate to get back on track and I like them at 21-20 with Ladbrokes.
It's a tough card in the Championship and it could be a day for goals rather than WDW. My first choices are St Mirren v Dundee Utd and Falkirk v QoS and a both to score double pays 2-1 at Marathonbet.
In League One there's no stopping the goal machine that is Ayr. Last week's 4-3 win at Stranraer made it xx goals in xx games and they should score at least three at home to Arbroath.
Ayr are 4-6 with Betferd to win and I'll be on them to score 3+ at 2-1 with McBookie. To hit 4+ pays 5-1 with Coral.
Big game in League 2 is title favourites Peterhead v leaders Stirling. Peterhead have a defensive crisis and Albion look overpriced at 7-2 with bet365, Take Albion draw no bet at 12-5 with William Hill.
