A GRADE BET !!!! GET ON
Best bets in the Scottish lower leagues are First Division promotion rivals Dundee and Hamilton at home to Clyde and Partick Thistle respectively.
Brechin look tasty in the Second Division and there could be a shock in the Third with on-form Forfar, 12-5 with Hill, having a great chance against champions East Fife. Down south, Portsmouth haven’t been the most reliable at home this season but 4-5 with firms such as partybets looks too good to miss. Arsenal should return to winning ways at Bolton and Manchester United and Chelsea will expect to beat Aston Villa and Middlesbrough comfortably.
FA Cup semi-finalists Cardiff should be too hot for Southampton and evens is a secont offer. In the game of the day in the Championship Hull can get the better of Watford. And way down in League Two one of the first names on my coupon will be Stockport, who have won five in a row away, at Chester. They are 6-5 at Skybet.

Paul Jain of the Daily Record gives his views on the weekend football card.
IT’S finally here - the much-awaited second Old Firm game of the season. Rangers and Celtic have only met once so far and face three more meetings due to a variety of reasons.
What’s not in doubt is that whoever comes out on top in these three clashes is almost certain to win the SPL. Rangers are pretty warm favourites as they continue their quest for four trophies, with the CIS Cup already in the bag.
Old Firm matches are usually difficult to predict but I haven’t spoken to anyone in the run-up who fancies a Celtic win. Plenty of people predict a draw, and it might suit both sides, but this fixture is normally settled one way or the other and there is no way the Glasgow rivals can play not to win.
So I’m going with majority opinion and siding with Rangers to win, probably one goal but maybe more. The Ibrox men crucially have won all three of the
meetings since Walter Smith returned to the hotseat last season.
It started with a 1-0 win at Parkhead and 2-0 and 3-0 successes at Ibrox followed.
Some would point out 4-0 is the next result in the sequence and that pays 66-1 but only those with the deepest of blue running through their veins wins would consider it. Rangers are a biggest 5-4 with Skybet while Celtic are 9-4 with Bet365.
I’m going for 1-0 or 2-1 Rangers and you can have 5-4 that a Scot scores first.
There are plenty to choose from including Lee McCulloch, Barry Ferguson and Chris Burke for Rangers but top scorer Kris Boyd is likely to be on the bench.
Celtic will go six points behind having played a game more if they lose so they can’t afford a negative result. William Hill make them 11-1 to lose and still win the championship and that sums up how vital the lunchtime game is.
Elsewhere in the SPL, I had to look twice when I saw Dundee United at 9-4 with Bet365 to win at Hearts. Craig Levein’s men are favourites to take third and
must fancy their chances against a side who couldn’t score against Falkirk last week. Hearts have been a bit powderpuff since selling top scorer Andrius Velicka and another striker Calum Elliot is doubtful although Christian Nade could return. The Jambos are 5-4 favourites but there’s no way I’ll be backing them against a side who pushed Rangers all the way in the CIS Cup Final.
