QUEEN'S PARK can make a winning return to Hampden when they welcome Hamilton Accies to the National Stadium on Saturday.
The Spiders play their home games at Stenhousemuir until Lesser Hampden is complete, but fixture clashes at Ochilview have seen them get permission to return to their spiritual home for two games. It will be the first time they have played in front of fans at Hampden since March 2020.
And they look a fair price to get another win against bottom-of-the-table Accies.
The former amateurs are a strange team sometimes. They lost 2-0 at Cove Rangers, but bounced back by scoring five goals at Kirkcaldy against Raith Rovers and have won their last three games.
They won 2-0 when they face Hamilton at New Douglas Park in September and should be too good for an Accies side who have won just one league game since August and have been cut to 4/5 this week.
MORTON are the form team in Scottish football and have been backed all week to win at Arbroath and they should land the gamble at a now reduced price of 13/8.
Dougie Imrie has led the Greenock side on a charge up the table. Since they were thrashed 5-1 at Partick Thistle at the start of October, they have won seven out of nine games and drawn the other two and they were away at high-flying Ayr United and Dundee.
Arbroath have faced a real struggle this season after last term's heroics and for all Gayfield is hyped-up for being a hard place to visit, they have won only once there this campaign and scored just four goals in their eight home games.
The freescoring Cappielow men are on a great run and Robbie Muirhead and co. can keep alive their promotion push.
DUMBARTON have recovered from a blip earlier in the season and have been in great form recently. They should be too strong in East Lothian for Bonnyrigg Rose.
Since a chastising 6-0 battering at Stirling Albion in October, the Sons have improved hugely and knocked out League One Clyde from the Scottish Cup last week at their place.
They've won five out of their last six games and scored nine goals in their last three matches.
Bonnyrigg have won just once in 11 although they did at least stop a run of defeats with a couple of draws. But they have four of their last six games at New Dundas Park and the 6/5 on a win for the visitors is a fair price.
Best Bets
- QUEEN'S PARK 4/5
- MORTON 13/8
- DUMBARTON 6/5.
