The online gambling site is the first to price up the Scottish third tier and have ranked the sides in order of their chances to take the title and promotion to the SPL Championship.

Top three in the league all have a Bairns connection in the dug-out with Ian McCall’s Partick Thistle, relegated from the Championship last season, firm favourites.

Then come the Bairns with ex-players-turned-managers Lee Miller and David McCracken in charge, followed by former Bairns boss Paul Hartley and Cove Rangers.

The sides with the least chance of taking the title – and therefore favourites for relegation – according to the bookmakers, are Peterhead and Forfar Athletic.

Falkirk are 15/8, meaning a £10 bet on the Bairns would recoup £28.75. The Jags are odds-on at 10/11.

McBookie clearly reckon the title is a two-horse race with the Glasgow side just ahead, as the next best side are Hartley’s League Two champions Cove priced at a significantly larger 7/1 – meaning a £10 winning bet on the Balmoral Park side returns £80.

The full odds, according to McBookie are 10/11 Partick Thistle; 15/8 Falkirk; 7/1 Cove Rangers; 14/1 Airdrie; 25/1 Montrose; 28/1 Clyde; 28/1 Dumbarton; 28/ East Fife; 40/1 Forfar Athletic; 40/1 Peterhead.

Celtic and Hearts are also odds-on for the title in the Premiership and Championship respectively, with the Jambos heavily fancied at 1/8. Prices have not yet been made available for League Two.
