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.

The World Cup group stage finishes today and a grudge match between Ghana and Uruguay takes centre stage. The Black Stars are out for revenge after a Luis Suarez handball on the line robbed them of a historic semi-final spot back in 2010. A draw will be enough for Ghana if South Korea fail to beat Portugal while Uruguay need […]

Australia have defended like lions at this FIFA World Cup so Argentina will need to be patient in this last 16 clash and rely on Lionel Messi to carve them open

Switzerland haven’t offered much in the way of excitement at this FIFA World Cup so expect another tight game as they face off with Serbia for a place in the last 16
Posted on: 30 Nov 2022
ARGENTINA have the chance to complete their Group C salvage mission today, with a victory over Poland enough to book their spot in the last 16. McBookie make them 45/80 hot favourites with the Poles as big as 6/1 and the draw paying 31/10. A point is enough to guarantee Poland’s slot in the knockout stages so I’m expecting them […]

Japan need to go for it against Spain in their final FIFA World Cup group game so it bodes well for goals and corners
Posted on: 29 Nov 2022
What a day it promises to be at the World Cup with two politically charged matches bringing Group B to a climax. Wales v England is always a fiery fixture but extra spice has been added with a place in the knockout stages up for grabs. The Dragons need a four-goal win to guarantee a last-16 slot so I’m expecting […]

Mexico have yet to score at the World Cup but the handbrake will be off for their must-win game with Saudi Arabia and we should see goals at both ends
Posted on: 28 Nov 2022
BRAZIL look worthy World Cup favourites but will have to break down a stuffy Swiss side today without talisman Neymar. Having tipped the in-form PSG star for top scorer I was gutted when he went down injured during the 2-0 opening win over Serbia. But Brazil won the 2019 Copa America with him sitting on the sidelines as Richarlison made […]

Wales are fighting for their World Cup lives so backing cards for the Dragons looks a good option in their do-or-die clash with England at Qatar 2022
Posted on: 27 Nov 2022
Free-scoring Spain will be confident of flooring Germany with a KO blow in tomorrow’s Group E clash of the titans. The Germans crashed out in the group stage at Russia 2018 and now face another early exit after a shock 2-1 defeat to Japan in their opener. The contrast with Spain couldn’t be starker after Luis Enrique’s men started their […]

THE World Cup has treated us to plenty of shocks so far and Scottish minnows will be hoping that’s an omen ahead of some David v Goliath clashes in the Cup. The main attraction for the romantics comes at Balmoral Stadium as Cove host minnows Dunipace. The East of Scotland side are facing a huge step up in class having […]

QATAR 2022 was supposed to be Lionel Messi’s Last Dance but he’s in danger of becoming a World Cup wallflower as Argentina flirt with an embarrassing early exit. Saudi Arabia brought Messi and Co back down to earth with a bump in the Group C opener as they came from behind to end a 36-game unbeaten run from Lionel Scaloni’s […]

Canada should go on the attack once more when they face Croatia at the World Cup so back the Maple Leafs for shots at goal

Argentina need to go for it against Mexico to keep their World Cup dream alive so it bodes well for goals at both ends
Posted on: 24 Nov 2022
BRAZIL will be out to justify their status as World Cup favourites when they get their Group G campaign underway against Serbia today. Having watched bitter rivals Argentina come a cropper against the Saudis, Tite’s side will know they can’t take their eye off the ball. Neymar will be their main man and the PSG star looks good value for […]

England were superb in their World Cup opener so there should be goals when they face the USA and Bukayo Saka looks overpriced for more heroics
Posted on: 22 Nov 2022
PLENTY of Scottish fans will be cheering on Australia tonight as they bid to pull off one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history. But the bookies don’t fancy their chances against defending champions France, with McBookie pricing the Aussies at 9/1. With 17 of Graham Arnold’s squad playing in either the SPFL, the A-League or England’s second tier, […]

Neymar should shine for Brazil in their World Cup corner with cards and penalties a good option for punters as Serbia bid to pull off a shock
Posted on: 21 Nov 2022
Canada are gracing a FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1986 but Belgium could make it an unhappy return, especially if Eden Hazard hits form
Posted on: 21 Nov 2022
PUNTERS have three games to feast on today at Qatar 2022 with England hot favourites to get off to a winning start against Iran. McBookie price the Three Lions at just 1/3 while the Iranians are as big as 11/1 with Ladbrokes to pile the pressure on Gareth Southgate. I’d expect Carlos Quieroz to set his side up to frustrate […]

Australia will try to frustrate injury-hit France in their FIFA World Cup opener so corners and cards look the best options for punters
Posted on: 19 Nov 2022
Forget about the World Cup – if it’s drama and excitement you want this weekend then look no further than the SPFL Championship. The eyes of the football world will turn to Qatar tomorrow but the prospect of watching the hosts take on Ecuador in the opening game doesn’t exactly set the pulse racing. So get yourself out of the […]

Every World Cup seems to throw up a surprise package, a team who defy the odds and have neutrals cheering them on. Be it Cameroon at Italia 90, South Korea in 2002 or Ghana in 2010, there’s usually a nation that exceeds expectations by marching into the latter stages. The element of surprise has a gone a little with fans […]

A DEADLY striker can often make a difference in World Cup games so all eyes will be on the hitmen duelling for the Golden Boot at Qatar 2022. The leading scorer often ends up getting his hands on the World Cup as well, with Ronaldo, Paolo Rossi and Gerd Muller scooping both prizes in 2002, 1982 and 1974. But it’s sometimes a dark […]

QATAR 2022 looks like Lionel Messi’s last dance and all eyes will be on the world’s greatest player as he tries to lead Argentina to glory. Messi finally got the monkey off his back at international level when he skippered the Argentines to victory at the last Copa America. Now he will be looking to follow in Diego Maradona’s footsteps […]
