THE DAILY RECORD’S Mr Fixit (@mrfixitstips) picks out his three best bets in Scotland this weekend.
Partick v Hearts | Saturday 15:00
Hearts crashed to a shocking Scottish Cup exit on Wednesday and Ian Cathro has just two full days to pick up his troops.
The Jambos were blown away 3-1 by Hibs and the manner of defeat must be a concern for the rookie boss. Cathro bought time with a 4-1 thumping of Rangers but there have been few highlights since he replaced Robbie Neilson.
He takes his side to Partick on Saturday and the home men look big at 2/1 with Matchbook. The Jags have won back-to-back games against Hamilton and St Johnstone and are just one point off Dundee in sixth.
Hearts have a decent record at Firhill – three wins in a row – but Cathro maybe trying to introduce too many new players at the same time.
While Thistle can win keep the stalemate onside and take them draw no bet at 11/10 with Ladbrokes.
Celtic v Hamilton | Saturday 15:00
Champions-elect Celtic didn’t manage as many goals as expected against Motherwell last week with Brendan Rodgers citing a poor playing surface.
It can’t have improved in the past week so best bet against Hamilton is Celtic to win ‘to nil’ at 8/11 with Paddy Power.
Celtic have kept five clean sheets in six games and this season have beaten Accies 1-0 at home and 3-0 away.
Dundee United v Morton | Saturday 15:00
A big game in the Championship table with both sides trying to reel in leaders Hibs.
Morton will leapfrog second-placed United with a win but Jim Duffy’s men have faded a bit with just one victory in four.
United will tempt some at 17/20 with Ladbrokes but Both Teams To Score is the same price so I’m on that with the last two meetings this season finishing 2-1 to the home team.
