Here is Damian with this weekend’s selections.
He says: I drew a blank with last weekend’s three selections, so hopefully we can back on track with some winners this Saturday.
“Just six points separate the bottom five in the Championship and with six or fewer games to go any of those sides could be automatically relegated.
“Partick Thistle are one of that quintet and sit second bottom just three points above Alloa. The Jags have actually done really well in 2019 losing just three Championship games, but they could have probably done without a Scottish Cup run which saw them play Hearts twice last month.
“Thistle performed with great credit against the Jambos drawing 1-1 and then going down 2-1.
“Sandwiched between those two results was a 2-1 win over Dundee United and last weekend they ran out impressive 3-0 winners at Morton.
“On that form I would make them favourites over Dunfermline who were woeful in front of the BBC cameras last Friday and flattered in that 1-0 defeat to Ayr United.
“The bookies have it the other way around and, with the Pars having gone two games without a goal, this looks like an excellent punting opportunity.
“Jags veteran striker Kris Doolan has spent a lot of this season warming the bench but was given a start last weekend and produced the goods with two goals.
“A prolific goalscorer, Doolan has netted 121 times for Thistle and they will be desperate for more goals from him in the coming weeks to stave off relegation. McBookie make him 11-2 score that vital first goal.
“In League One the race for that final play-off place looks like going down to the wire with just three points separating fourth, fifth and sixth – East Fife (44 points), Montrose (44) and Airdrie (41).
“On Saturday Airdrie entertain East Fife and on recent form there can only be one winner.
“At the end of January East Fife were looking like the biggest threat to Arbroath in League One and nailed on for a play-off spot but since then have won just one of their last nine league games – losing five and drawing the other three.
“The Diamonds, on the other hand, have won three of their last five, losing 1-0 to Raith and then in midweek twice being pegged back level at Dumbarton in the other two games.
“Airdrie striker Darryl Duffy has been banging in the goals this season and has 14 to his name including one of the midweek goals in that 3-3 draw.
“Duffy is 9-2 with McBookie to score the opening goal which would help Airdrie on their way to leapfrogging the Fifers in the table.
“Finally in League Two I am sticking with Albion Rovers who I tipped at huge odds to win their fourth game in a row with a win over Clyde last weekend.
“They lost 1-0 so no disgrace there yet this weekend are 5-2 at home to Queen’s Park.
“Declan Byrne has scored three in his last four games and is 7-1 with McBookie to open the scoring.
