Scottish Tips: Best Bets at Hibs, Cove Rangers & Inverness

HIBS were well beaten by Celtic in midweek, but they can bounce back with a win at struggling Livingston at 11/10.

Nick Montgomery's side lost an early goal at Parkhead and it was always going to be a struggle for them after that, as was to be expected.

But previously to that, they've been in decent form and can add to David Martindale's problems with a win at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

Livi look like this could finally be the season where their time in the Premiership ends. Not only have they not won since the start of October, but a defeat at St Mirren last week was their sixth loss in a row.

And they've failed to score for the past five games too.

Hibs have defeated Kilmarnock, Dundee and Aberdeen prior to that midweek loss and ended a poor run in West Lothian with a 4-1 win there last season.

COVE RANGERS should justify their odds-on price of 17/20 to win at Annan Athletic on Saturday.

They have now won seven games in all competitions and if they have any ambitions of catching Falkirk and Hamilton Accies at the top of League One, these are the games they really have to win.

They beat Annan 3-2 at the start of that run in Aberdeen and since then have only conceded one goal.

Annan have failed to win a game since September and have collected just three points since then.

They are clearly better on their Galabank surface, but have an annoying habit of being edged out by the one goal which has happened in all of their last four defeats.

Cove look a side on the up though and can win here.

CALEY THISTLE look too big at 9/5 to win at Hampden against Queen's Park.

Duncan Ferguson suffered his first defeat as Inverness manager last week, but they were leading title-chasing Raith Rovers until the final few moments.

If they can brush off that loss, they can win against a Queen's Park side who have just not kicked on from last season's promise.

They try to play football the right way, but too often they get bullied in this league and they don't take enough of their chances. They haven't won a league game since August.

ICT were on a seven-game unbeaten run up until last week and can get back to winning ways.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
HIBS 11/10
COVE RANGERS 17/20
CALEY THISTLE 9/5.
