Scottish Championship Tips: Hot Ayr to Stay Safe Against Thistle

THE Championship season comes to a climax tonight and it’s all about finding teams with something to play for if you want to beat the bookies.

Ayr host Partick Thistle knowing a win will be enough to keep them up and all the Jags need to do to seal a play-off slot is avoid a heavy defeat.

Thistle are three points and eight goals better off than Raith and gaffer Ian McCall has hinted he might rest a few players.

That makes the 11/8 McBookie are offering on a win for the Honest Men decent value and I’ll have a nibble at that price.

Dunfermline can still save their skins if Ayr slip up and the Pars are lucky to be playing a Queen of the South side who are already relegated.

It’s hard to see anything other than a win for John Hughes’ side but the odds aren’t great at a best 3/5 (Betway).

Backing Dunfermline to be winning at half-time and full-time boosts the price to 29/20 with McBookie.

Raith Rovers need to go for goals at home to Kilmarnock as they bid to pip Partick and it bodes well for an entertaining game.

The champions can play with the pressure off and I like BTTS at 13/14 (SBK) while over 2.5 goals is priced 6/5 at BetVictor.
