SlipsTips shares a selection from Tuesday night's Scottish League Cup action, with Annan Athletic's clash with Bonnyrigg Rose under the microscope.
Annan Athletic vs Bonnyrigg Rose (Tuesday, 19:45)
Annan Athletic will be aiming to record back-to-back wins in the Scottish League Cup when they host Bonnyrigg Rose on Tuesday night.
Wullie Gibson’s side hit the ground running in Group D by claiming a 1-0 win over crisis club Inverness Caley Thistle on Saturday.
Bonnyrigg, on the other hand, were demolished 7-1 at home to Scottish Premiership outfit Dundee at the weekend.
Annan are skinny 8/11 favourites to take top honours on Tuesday night but backing the hosts to score two or more goals is an attractive option at 5/6 on UniBet.
The Galabankies ended last season in great form, storming to automatic safety by avoiding defeat in nine of their final 10 league games of the season.
While manager Peter Murphy has since departed for rivals Queen of the South, Annan moved quickly to promote the aforementioned Gibson to the top job, as they aim to maintain continuity.
The new Black and Golds boss has managed to retain key players and make some eye-catching summer signings, and their confidence will have been boosted by their weekend win over recently-relegated Inverness.
In contrast, Bonnyrigg will make the trip to Galabank with morale low following their above-mentioned 7-1 thumping at the hands of Dundee.
On top of this, Calum Elliot’s crew have triumphed in just four of their 21 matches across league and cup competition this calendar year, posting just four clean sheets in the process.
Annan have scored multiple goals in eight of their last 10 matches at home and they merit support to strike twice against the Rose at 5/6 (UniBet) on Tuesday night .
