Beat the Bookie is back.

Six games. Six exact scores. No safety net.

In the Jim Harvey Cup, the calls are bold. Nethercraigs and Toryglen going to pens with Islands sneaking past Corinthians and Red Star defeating Bishopton

If those land, someone’s having a very good Saturday.

GAME 1

Nethercraigs 2 Toryglen thistle 2

• The match will go to penalties

GAME 2

Glasgow Island 3 Corinthians 2

GAME 3

Bishopton FC 3 Clydebank Red Star 4

THE JIM HARVEY CUP ⬇️

The Jim Harvey Cup is always unpredictable but I think Busby could slip past Southside and the Championship teams Netherton and Third Lanark could be too strong for the Conference League sides Westhill United and Cathcart AFC

GAME 4

Busby AFC 3 Southside United 2

GAME 5

Westhill United 2 Netherton AFC 3

GAME 6

Cathcart AFC 2 Third Lanark 4

THE RULES

For anyone new to Beat the Bookie, the scoring keeps the pressure firmly on the predictors. Nail the exact score and you pocket three points. Call the right match winner but miss the numbers and you still earn a single point. Simple on paper — brutally difficult in practice.

THE DISCLAIMER

As always, this is all for a bit of fun and absolutely should not be taken too seriously. And finally, a gentle public service reminder: please do not approach Hugh Dunnitt if he gets your score completely wrong. He’s suffering enough already.

Good luck to everyone having a go this week — the chase for the perfect six is very much alive. ⚽
