League leaders Rangers entertain St Mirren from 3pm on Saturday as they look to continue their march towards a second successive SPL crown.
With closest rivals Celtic playing on Sunday, the Gers have the opportunity to move a massive thirteen points clear at the summit and with the home side no bigger than 1/5 (Bet365), it seems bookmakers see this one as a foregone conclusion.
Walter Smith’s treble chasers remain unbeaten at Ibrox in the league and with the Blues recording a 1-0 win over Gus McPherson’s men on the 17th February, not much should have changed. Rangers have beaten the Saints on three occasions already this season and with Kris Boyd notching three goals in the process, the Scottish forward is attractively priced at 11/4 (Skybet) to break the deadlock again here.
Down in the First Division, Dunfermline play host to basement boys Airdrie United.
The home side took a previous encounter between the two in convincing fashion earlier in the season and with Airdrie managing only one away win this term, the Pars should be invested in at 8/13 (Bet365).
A top versus bottom clash in the Second Division provides value when struggling Clyde make the trip to Alloa Athletic.
Clyde have taken all three points only once on the road this term and with Athletic’s last league defeat coming almost three months ago, the points staying in Clackmannanshire can be trusted at 4/9 (Extrabet).
Greenock Morton offer the most attractive single of the day for punters who like to keep in simple.
The Cappielow outfit have suffered an indifferent season so far after the heroics of last year but they travel to Ayr in what will prove to be an old fashioned relegation dog fight. Only five points separate 8th placed Morton from relegation contenders Ayr but the Ton seem to have found some form of late, winning two of their last three outings.
Ayr lost 2-0 at Cappielow earlier and with the Diamonds recording only two wins in front of their own fans, Morton’s 9/5 (Bwin) certainly merits an interest.
