The Turkish Sun shines a light on loads of value today with a lucky 13 selections. A lot of teams too strongly favoured. Rangers, Dundee Utd, St Mirren, Ross County – all tasty value as a result, and plenty in lower leagues too. Nap of the day Falkirk, getting stronger and Kelty have struggled. Away suits Falkirk as most of their home fans are greeting faced moaners.

The kiddies are out to play again in my favourite betting fixtrues of the year!

Men aginst boys has been easy money in the past, but the markets have caught up now so not so much value to be had. Some strong kiddies teams too and never sure how seriously the men take it but there is still a big question of pride no matter who they play. Men don’t want to get beaten by weans.

As such i’m still taking a blanket punt on all kiddies teams, (except Elghin who are too short at 1/4), getting pumped oot.

Seems to be another game happening too over at Ibrox. Hard to predict Rangers in Europe and the Belgians are very tempting at over 4/1 after a one sided first-leg. You’d think Rangers should be able to get something but I can’t see them stopping St Gullywully scoring at least once. Both teams to score at evens seems extremely likely.

I think there is a lot of value to be found in League 2 this year as Bonnyrigg are overbacked. They take the mantle of favourites after recent romps from Cove Rangers and Kelty Hearts but they were differnt beasts. Bonnyrigg have just came up with pretty much their same team and a few more juniors. They will be decent but favourites? Not for me.

Second favourties are Stenhousemuir and very hotly tipped. Got stronger last year and have built on that team with promising signings. A lot of positivity and expectancy there, they are definitely contenders but I have a feeling they may not do quite enough to make the difference to jump straight to top spot from last seasons performance.

Dumbarton won’t be able to turn thngs around quickly enough top bounce back up as champions.

Forfar are possibly the richest team in the division and were strong last year. 6/1 is too big here. They are still a bit short up front but have expecetd signings to make, might depend how they do in the loan market. Definitely worthy of a bet at 6/1.

However Annan just pip them at same price of 6/1. They performed equally well as Forfar last season, and just missed out in the play offs. Although they don’t have the resources Forfar have, they’ve started very strongly in the cup and have the best manager in the division in Peter Murphy who continually yields a competitive side with minimal resources, and progresses a bit year on year. This year they might reach their destination.

Annan for me.

1 point – Annan @ 6/1

Dungfermline are marginal favourites in League 1 but don’t fancy them much. Fuck knows who’s in charge at East End Park but the fans have had a hellish time recently. Took them years to get out of League 1 last time and very quicky they are back down there again, and the directors seem tom continually appoint haddies in teh hot seat. Peter Grant was a head scratcher, Big Thick Yogi had some success but not enough in teh short time he was there and now…. Jake McPake. Maybe he will prove us all wrong but I don’t see anyone who rates him. So I@m ruling Dungfermline out.

Aidrie were very strong finishers last season but they’ve broke up a bit. Most significantly losing their main striker Easton, and the manager Murray, and have replaced said manager with… well, one of the players it seems. Still, I think the 9/1 on offer for them is too high. Lewis Jamieson looks to be a good signing from Saints and if they get a few breaks they could have a chance but think tehy have too much to do in a relatively strong league.

Kelty – Naw.

So it’s Falkirk or Queen of the South for me and find it hard to split them. Falkirk now have their umpteenth manager, this time auld John McGlynn who is a course and distance winner. They probably have the strongest squad and are the obvious choice. On the other hand, Queen of the South have made some good signings and have looked good in the early cup games. Willie Gibson actually made a wee difference last year when he got promoted to manager although it was too late. He will have plenty support as a bit of a favourite down there. They also have a windfall coming from their cup draw at Ibrox, if they can spend some of that well it can help their case further.

Queen of the South just shade it due to a better price and a slightly more positive outlook than the clouds of gloom hovering over Falkirk and Dungfermline the past few years. I’m not sure they are ready to clear yet.

1 point – Queen of the South 11/2
