CRAIG STILL LIVIN’ IT UP

-

That’s fine for accas such as my moneyback fivefold but single backers may want to consider the Jambos -1 at 7-5 with bet365.

I tipped Steven Naismith to score first last week and he’ll be further boosted by Alex McLeish saying he’ll lead the line for Scotland in Israel after his sparkling start to the season. Naisy is 6-1 at bet365 to score first and 2-1 at bet365 to net at any time.

Hearts’ capital rivals Hibs played well against Killie last week and will be on my aways at pointless Dundee. Neil McCann’s men were hammered by Rangers and there are no signs of recovery.

Hibs are no bigger than 4-5 at Unibet and I’d prefer evens or above. An alternativ­e is Hibs to score 2+ at 9-10 with betfair.

St Mirren battled superbly against Celtic on Oran Kearney’s dugout debut and face a different challenge at Hamilton.

There are positive vibes coming out of Paisley after Alan Stubbs lowered the feelgood factor and while it’s asking a lot to win at 2-1 with Marathonbe­t I’ll take Saints at 6-5 draw no bet.

The Old Firm are in action tomorrow after their Europa League exertions. Rangers should have little trouble at home to St Johnstone as long as they’re not leg weary.

Celtic face a tougher test at Kilmarnock where they lost 1-0 on their last outing. I can’t back them at 4-9 while Steve Clarke’s men are a best 13-2 with bet365. A draw is possible at 10-3 with McBookie and I like both to score at 1-1 (Ladbrokes).

In the Championsh­ip it could be a draw in the Highland derby between Ross County and Inverness although there have been no stalemates in eight in Dingwall.

In League One I like Arbroath, with three wins in four, at struggling Stenny at evens with William Hill.

Backers of goals should consider overs here as four of the last five at Ochilview have produced four plus.

Edinburgh City helped land my five homes last week and I’m backing them at Queen’s Park who have lost boss Gus MacPherson to St Mirren.

City have won six in a row and are big at 21-10 with bet365 and McBookie to beat a side with one victory in six.
