I'm a sports journalist, football tipster and author from Dundee, who is now working in Glasgow. I've covered games at every level, from Junior football to internationals, and still love football even though it has clearly sold its soul. I've been in football tipping since 2018 with the MFT site.

We saw four first-half goals when Tottenham Hotspur last faced Brentford so try backing early strikes in the Premier League return along with corners for Ange Postecoglou’s side

TO say Barry Robson needs a result tonight is a bit like suggesting the looming White House return of Donald Trump is something of a concern. When the fans start turning on you, every game becomes a must-win and Aberdeen’s clash with Dundee is followed by a double-header against the Old Firm. But Robson has previous for pulling a big […]

ONE of my favourite episodes of the Simpsons is the one where Mr Burns recruits a team of Major League ringers to win a softball game against Shelbyville’s power plant and a million-dollar wager. On the eve of the big match, a series of unfortunate events makes most of the ringers unavailable for selection while Don Mattingly is kicked off […]

Liverpool are reeling from the news Jurgen Klopp is set to step down but should still have too much firepower for Norwich City in this FA Cup tie and Diogo Jota looks good value for a goal

Newcastle’s weary players have had a fortnight to recharge while Fulham are coming off the back of a draining midweek defeat so the Magpies look good value for an FA Cup win at Craven Cottage

HIBS got out of Doidge without suffering a Cup shock on Saturday but only by the skin of their teeth. Christian Doidge’s winner at Forfar was ill-deserved and the Easter Road men were so short on bodies that boss Nick Montgomery joked he was pondering pulling his boots back on. So the Hibees don’t look in great shape to face […]

Posted on: 11 Jan 2024

Liverpool edged a 4-3 thriller when Fulham last came to Anfield so go for over 2.5 goals and BTTS when these sides collide once more in the League Cup semi-finals

THE Premiership has gone into cold storage for a few weeks and it gives us all a welcome break from VAR controversies. With the big boys heading to sunnier climes for training, the only time replays will be pored over is to work out who tipped the gaffer from his sun lounger into the swimming pool. And if that happens […]

THERE’S plenty of Friday night football for punters this week with one Scottish game and three FA Cup ties. Going Dutch has proved expensive for Queen’s Park this season with the Spiders stuck at the bottom of the Championship. Director of football Marijn Beuker and coach Robin Veldman have both now left, with Paul Nuijten in interim charge. It’s 15 […]

CELTIC will be hoping there’s no derby hangover as they kick off 2024 with a tricky trip to St Mirren. The Hoops head to Paisley buoyed by a 2-1 win over Rangers but have found the Buddies a tough nut to crack. Maik Nawrocki will deputise in defence and was booked off the bench on Saturday after diving into a […]

Posted on: 27 Dec 2023
THE Edinburgh derby takes top billing on a busy night of Premiership action and it’s a tough one to call. Hearts are in better form, with five wins from seven, but Hibs have home advantage and McBookie make them slight favourites at 6/4. The Jambos are 7/4 while plenty of punters will fancy the stalemate at 12/5 but I’m going […]
