It's been a long summer. No major championship means we've had to wait longer than normal for football's return and while the league seasons don't kick-off for another few weeks yet we're under way in Scotland today with the Premier Sports Cup.
The competition features all the teams in the SPFL with the exception of those who have qualified for Europe (they'll join for the knock-out stages) plus a few teams from lower down the pyramid.
The Lee Johnson era gets underway at Easter Road and his new side should have a comfortable afternoon against part-timers Clyde. Johnson has overseen a huge turnover in the squad and fans will be keen to see experienced internationalists David Marshall and Aiden McGeady as well as the potential emergance of Elias Melkersen as star striker after some promising performances for the Hibees.
Hibs to win both halves at even money could be a good option considering they're 1/7 to win.
There should be a fascinating match in Paisley where St Mirren host Arbroath. Dick Campbell's side narrowly missed out on promotion to the top flight so it'll be interesting to see how they bounce back this season after that disappointment. The Red Lichties could catch the Buddies off-guard and they're 11/10 in the Draw No Bet market.
Similarly, Inverness could find it tough at Kelty Hearts. John Potter has replaced Kevin Thomson as the man in charge of Kelty who ganied promotion at the first time of asking from League Two last season. They've added even more quality and experience to their squad for the challenges ahead and are arguably of Championship standard. We'll find out more this afternoon and look worth a punt at 21/10.

Women’s Copa America
Bolivia to score 11-8 (SKYBET) 🇧🇴
these are ranked 10th v 8th in South America out of just 10 countries with FIFA rankings. They are both crap
Only 4 previous head to heads and Bolivia scored in 3 including a 2-2 in Ecuador last year.
Bolivia had a couple of recent beatings by Uruguay which is a worry obviously.
Those were their 1st games for 8 months so hopefully blowing away the cobwebs.
Ecuador not played since April.
** Ecuador only won 2 in last 22, and conceded in 27 of last 30 **
They don’t travel well, losing their last 8 dating back to 2015.
The battle of the worst in this group they have met twice in previous Copa women’s tournaments.
2010 Bolivia 3 Ecuador 4
2018 Bolivia 1 Ecuador 0
Prediction, depends how crap Bolivia are but with 1-8 on Ecuador to win they should win with hopefully BTTS.
🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴
Latest score 1-3 on the hour.
Bolivia women after a red card scored with 10 men 😂😂.
11-8 winner
Finished 6-1 to Ecuador.
Keep an eye on Bolivia’s other 3 games as they are likely to concede plenty of Ecuador can put 6 past them.🙂

Dundee v Hamilton
I did well out of Hamilton corners last season , so hoping for some of the same today
2 + corners each team in each half 7/2 Skybet
Sky are the only bookie doing corners that I can see .
LOSER . Dundee corner short .
Hamilton worth looking at for corners when the league starts imo
both teams to score

Zambia (Women) v Togo (Women)
09 Jul 21:00
Togo to score 6-4 (NAP) 🇹🇬 HILLS.
All to play for and Togo really need a win.
Zambia are as good as through after a 1-0 win and a 0-0 draw but bookies have over reacted making them such a short price to win.
Togo have scored in a 1-1 draw with Cameroon ranked 2 in Africa and Tunisia ranked 6.
Zambia are ranked 13 and Togo 16 which shows they are an improving nation as there are 43 teams in the African rankings,
** Togo have only ever played 6 games and scored in all 6 **
Zambia have drawn 1-1 with Namibia and Botswana recently who are ranked below Togo.
With Togo needing to at least score to progress hopefully Zambia who are a defensive minded team will have to do likewise and lead to goals
