I make Motherwell genuine contenders to win this season's Scottish Cup, so I'm expecting them to hit the ground running by seeing off Ross County in the fourth round on Saturday. Jens Berthel Askou's side have been one of the success stories in the Scottish Premiership this season, with their brave, attacking style of play rightfully earning them plenty of plaudits.

Moreover, Motherwell have been particularly strong at home this season, evidenced by the fact that they have won six of their last seven Scottish Premiership fixtures at Fir Park. Across that seven-game sample, the Steelmen have seen off both Hibs and Celtic, hitting multiple goals in each of those two victories. With that in mind, I fully expect Motherwell to win with some room to spare when they face a Ross County side that are propping up the Scottish Championship table.

While County picked up a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Partick Thistle last weekend, this will be a serious step up in class. What’s more, the Staggies may not be too worried about going out of the cup, since they’ve got bigger priorities to focus on.

I’ve been backing both teams to score in East Kilbride’s matches throughout the season, and I see no reason to change that strategy when they face Stirling on Saturday afternoon.

Under Mick Kennedy’s management, title-chasing East Kilbride are well known for their attacking style, which has coincided with them being involved in a number of goal-heavy games this season.

That is backed up by the fact that 12 of EK's 18 Scottish League Two matches this season have seen both teams get on the scoresheet, including 6 of their 9 fixtures away from home.

Now set to come up against an in-form Stirling Albion side, all the signs point towards goals at both ends at Forthbank on Saturday. The hosts - who have won 3 of their last 6 league matches - have delivered a winning BTTS selection in each of those 6 contests.

The BTTS case is strengthened by the fact that East Kilbride ran out 3-2 winners at this venue earlier in the season.
