There is an action packed Scottish card today and its one I really like the look of with a number of games standing out. Hibernian host Hamilton and should get new manager Paul Heckingbottom’s tenure at Easter ROad off to a winning start. Partick Thistle have found a bit of form and have added experienced striker Scot McDonald to their ranks, they should see off Alloa. Dundee look value to get a goal at a Livingston side who’s honeymoon start to the season is over whilst their neighbours Dundee United are well priced away at QOS – United win and over 2.5 goals
Alloa Athletic vs Partick Thistle (KO 3pm)
For the second week in a row, I’m taking Alloa to go down to another relegation rival as Partick Thistle roll into town. I was on Falkirk at 2/1 to win here last week and same rules apply this week.
Thistle have had good transfer window bringing in extra quality and experience in the form of Joe Cardle from Dunfermline and St Johnstone legend Steven Anderson, the latter scoring two goal in two games which is a good return for a central defender.
The Jags are in great shape coming into this having won their last 4 games and they have further strengthened by adding ex Motherwell and Celtic striker Scott McDonald to bolster their attacking options.
Quite the contrast to Alloa who have now lost 4 on the spin and look certainties to head back down to Division One. Manager Jim Goodwin deserves huge credit for making his part time side as competitive as they have with a small squad and a fraction of the budget in comparison to all the other sides.
Thistle look good value to me to make it 5 wins on the sin and leapfrog Alloa to escape bottom of the league
Recommended Bet:
- Partick Thistle to beat Alloa
- 5/4 (Unibet) (NAP)

Hibernian vs Hamilton (KO 3pm)
Farcical is the only word to describe the Hibs manager appointment saga but its all done and dusted which will please everyone involved.
Most clubs get a new manager bounce but I don’t think Hibs will even need that here against a Hamilton side who have won just one of their last 11 matches.
Hibs thrashed the visitors here last time and whilst I don’t expect a similar score line today I do expect Hibs to make it a winning start for manager Paul Heckingbottom.
Hibs have better players and with home advantage should see off Hamilton by a couple of goals
Recommended Bet
- Hibs and over 1.5 match goals
- 10/11 (Ladbrokes
