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.

It’s a shame the bookies aren’t offering odds on “you’re getting sacked in the morning” ringing round Easter Road today as that looks like a dead cert. Aberdeen have made it crystal clear Jim Goodwin needs a victory to save himself from the axe after the embarrassing Scottish Cup exit to minnows Darvel. And if the Dons end up winning […]

DUNDEE and Dunfermline both suffered cup heartache at the weekend but can find a silver lining at Dens tonight in the SPFL Trust Trophy. This quarter-final tie has been postponed twice but should finally get the go ahead with temperatures on the rise.

Nottingham Forest should go on the attack as they bid to claim a first-leg lead at home against Manchester United so this Carabao Cup sem-final promises goals at both ends
Posted on: 21 Jan 2023
When you’re a Premiership manager in desperate need of a result, one of the last places you’d want to visit on Scottish Cup weekend is Gayfield. Arbroath is never the most hospitable of places to play football and I still break into a cold sweat when I recall being battered by the wind and rain next to the North Sea […]

DUNDEE will be desperate to make up for lost time when they lock horns with Dunfermline in tonight’s Challenge Cup quarter-final. This tie bit the bullet last week due to a waterlogged pitch and more downpours also saw the weekend league clash with Partick rained off. The Pars were in action on Saturday and brought up one of my super […]

PARTICK THISTLE have fired themselves back into contention for the Championship title but face the acid test of their revival in Dundee today. A horror run of six defeats in a row in all competitions during the autumn threatened to ruin Thistle’s season but the response has been impressive. The Jags have lost just once in their last seven games […]

We’ve only had one Old Firm final in the last 12 years but the bookies are banking on the Glasgow giants squaring up for the Viaplay Cup. It’s semi-final weekend with Celtic facing Kilmarnock today before Rangers and Aberdeen lock horns tomorrow. The Hoops are holders and have lifted this trophy five times in the last six years. So McBookie […]

FRIDAY night football returns to the SPFL Premiership as Hearts and St Mirren face off for the second time in six days. These sides couldn’t be separated in Paisley last weekend but McBookie make the Jambos 17/20 favourites with home advantage.

DUNFERMLINE are on track for a quickfire return to the Championship and could be a tough nut to crack for Dundee in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals tonight. The Pars were my tip for the League One title and they’re four points clear with a couple of games in hand. Dundee are still in the mix for top spot in the […]
