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.

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 […]

POLITICS always adds a bit of spice to a World Cup and the clashes in Group B at Qatar 2022 promise to be red-hot. All eyes will be on England’s game with Wales as the Dragons look to bite back at St George but the stakes will be even higher when Iran take on the USA. When the nations last […]

World Cup 2022 is finally upon us and Group A contenders Qatar will be desperate to put on a show both on and off the field as they host the first Arab World Cup.

England head into the FIFA World Cup in dismal form but Harry Kane should help them see off Iran to start their campaign with a win

KevinMac returns with his weekly column featuring his best bets in Scotland this weekend. THERE’S one last Premiership push today before the World Cup and clubs will be desperate to send their fans into the break on a high. All six matches are being held this afternoon and some managers will be desperate to change the mood music with the […]

Fulham and Manchester United have both been in good form in the Premier League so it could be close when they face off at Craven Cottage
Posted on: 09 Nov 2022
Erling Haaland’s return from injury will give Manchester City more cutting edge up front and he appeals at 14/5 to score with a header against Brentford in this Premier League clash
Posted on: 09 Nov 2022
RANGERS are on the ropes and if Hearts land some telling blows at Ibrox tonight it could leave Gio van Bronckhorst sprawled on the canvas. But the bookies reckon a KO for the Jambos is unlikely with Robbie Neilson’s men as big as 12/1 at Ladbrokes. Gers are McBookie’s 2/9 hot favourites and that’s probably because they destroyed Aberdeen 4-1 […]

Liverpool will field a weakened team in the Carabao Cup but should still have way too much firepower for a Derby County side with just one win in six
Posted on: 08 Nov 2022
ROSS COUNTY boosted their survival hopes with a weekend win and will fancy their chances of building more momentum tonight against a Hibs side in woeful form. The Hibees have lost four of their last five so Lee Johnson desperately needs a victory when the Staggies come calling. Three of those defeats came on the road though and Hibs have […]

IT’S just over two weeks until World Cup 2022 kicks off in Qatar and the team at MFT have decided to share 5 of the biggest world cup shocks in history. The World Cup is the greatest show on earth because it mixes moments of breathtaking quality with tales of the unexpected. With each country’s best players taking to the […]

Hibernian and Ross County have been involved in some thrillers of late so backing goals at both ends could pay off when they clash at Easter Road in the SPFL Premiership
Posted on: 05 Nov 2022
KevinMac returns with his weekly Scottish football column and has picked out 4 super singles for this weekend’s SPFL action.

Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubayemang will be out to prove a point against old club Arsenal and is a huge 7/1 for an assist in this Premier League blockbuster

Tottenham are without some of their biggest weapons for this Premier League clash with Liverpool so betting against a thriller might be the wisest plan for punters
Posted on: 03 Nov 2022
HEARTS finish their Conference League campaign tonight and it’s hard to hold out much hope for Robbie Neilson’s men in Istanbul. Group A has panned out pretty much as expected with the Jambos unable to lay a glove on Basaksehir and Fiorentina while taking care of minnows RFS. But the manner of the defeats to the big boys has been […]

Sead Haksabanovic could get off the mark for Celtic against a Dundee United side they beat 9-0 at Tannadice in their last SPFL Premiership meeting
Posted on: 02 Nov 2022
CELTIC started their Champions League adventure with a defeat to Real Madrid and the bookies are banking on them finishing in the same way tonight. Despite a spirited showing at Parkhead, the Hoops ultimately found Carlo Ancelotti’s side too hot to handle as Real netted three times in the second half. Ange Postecoglou’s men now have nothing to play for […]

West Ham United’s closing UEFA Europa Conference League game with FCSB is the deadest of dead rubbers so betting against goals and corners could pay off
Posted on: 01 Nov 2022
RANGERS will be out to avoid Champions League embarrassment tonight as they bring a nightmare campaign to a close against Ajax. A sixth successive defeat would make it the worst group stage performance in history and McBookie make the Dutch side 17/20 favourites. Gers are as big as 11/4 and that’s probably based on the 4-0 battering Ajax dished out […]

Chelsea will field a weakened side as they finish their Champions League group against Dinamo Zagreb so we could see goals at both ends
