Meanwhile, here is McBookie‘s Damian Walker with his thoughts for this weekend.
Damian writes: “It’s the big Celtic v Rangers clash this weekend but looks one to swerve for me as I think the bookies’ prices might be about right.
“Staying in the Premiership and on January 23 this year Kilmarnock, under their brilliant manager Steve Clarke, defeated Rangers 2-1 to go top of the table.
“Since then goals and wins have been hard to come by for Killie who have won just one of their next 10 matches and scored a measly five goals during that time.
“And it is probably no coincidencethe departure of striker Greg Stewart in the January transfer fits exactly the timeline of when Killie’s goals dried up.
“On Saturday they entertain Hamilton who have managed to extricate themselves from the automatic relegation place and relegation play-off place with some three wins from their last six games.
“Two of those wins were at home to Hearts and away to Aberdeen and yet bookmakers have the Accies as 17-4 outsiders with Kilmarnock 8-13 favourites.
“The sides have met twice this season and played out 1-1 draws in both games so with Hamilton in good form and Kilmarnock struggling for goals the visitors look like a value bet.
“Striker George Oakley joined Hamilton on the final day of the January transfer deadline and a week later scored a double to defeat St Johnstone.
“And then later that month he scored the opener in the Accies’ 2-0 win at Pittodrie with a brilliant strike that had shades of Marco van Basten’s goal for Holland at Euro 1988.
“McBookie make Oakley 6-1 to repeat the trick with the first goal against Kilmarnock on Saturday.
“In the Championship, Falkirk have lost just one of their 10 matches and that was a 2-1 away defeat to league leaders Ross County.
“Yet despite that record the Bairns are an enormous 17-4 to win away to Inverness Caley Thistle.
“True, the home side have won their last four games, but are far too short against one of the form sides in the league.
“Falkirk midfielder Ian McShane joined in the transfer window from St Mirren and has scored in his last two starts and has three goals from his last eight outings.
“Added to that he is on the pens and looks value at 11-1 with McBookie to score the opener.
“Finally in League Two Albion Rovers, who dug themselves off the bottom of the table for the first time this season with a 1-0 home win over Cowdenbeath in midweek, are just too big at 15-2 to beat Clyde.
“That was the Wee Rovers’ third straight win and they haven’t conceded a goal in more than four-and-a-half hours of football – something which would have seemed highly unlikely to have happened for most of this campaign.
“Declan Byrne has scored three of Rovers’ last four goals in those three wins and is 8-1 with McBookie to grab his fourth with the opening goal.
“Can you find a winner!”
