Shifty's Last Word is delighted to confirm the arrival to the blog of our new columnist, Graeme. Representatives from The Ross-Shire Journal, The Turriff Advertiser and la Gazzetta Della Sport gathered at a press conference this morning, where it was confirmed that Graeme will write a weekly column entitled "Graeme's Silly Bet".

Here's Graeme's musings for this weekend:
Thought I'd let my first post be Scotland-orientated;
1) The Old Firm notoriously struggle to perform after their midweek European excursions so this weekend, after Celtic's shambolic 2nd half display in Tel Aviv in which they seemed to wilt in the heat in Israel, the last thing Mowbray's men want to face is a resurgent Hearts side well pumped after their first victory in the league against Kilmarnock last Tuesday.
Silly prediction: Celtic to slip up again with a half-time/full-time bet of a Celtic/draw. 23/1 at Betfair
2) Coupon of the week:
I'm getting into the Scottish lower tiers this year and after seeing Stirling Albion last weekend myself, and the man who burnt £40 infront of the beggars, I can safely say that the Albion boys are awesome going forward on the pitch despite their deep financial problems off it.
That said, Alloa were equally strong and well organised at the back with impressive young goalkeeper David Crawford leading the way.
I also dislike Caley and Airdrie with equal venom so want to see them drawing, leading to relegation for these disgusting shams of teams and managers.
Silly treble of:
Alloa to beat Stenhousemuir @ 11/10
Airdrie to snatch a point with Caley @12/5
Stirling Albion to beat East Fife @ 4/6
If placed at WIlliam Hill £1 gets you £11.90
Cheers and see you next week
