Scottish Premiership. Click here to bet.

The best bets from Gavin are here for the weekend's action in Scotland. Team news for the Scottish Premiership will appear here on Friday...

Last week I mentioned that the industry hadnt suitably reacted to the departure of Stuart Armstrong from the Dundee United line-up and we were rewarded for opposing them. Another, if slightly smaller, reward is on offer again this week but this time we are backing Jackie McNamaras men. The swing in opinion since Saturdays defeat to St Johnstone has been severe and I think maybe a little too severe. I was looking forward to profiting from an overrated Dundee United again on Tuesday but incredibly they went off as outsiders at home and I ended up backing them instead. Unfortunately for me they had their goalkeeper sent off in the opening minutes, going behind from the resulting penalty, but they came back manfully and forced a draw with Inverness. They will, of course, now be without Michal Szromnik this weekend following that red card but I dont see it as a bad thing as he was badly at fault for St Johnstones opener and replacement Radoslaw Cierzniak was a starter until recently so will be relishing the chance to reclaim his spot. Partick are currently on a run of four consecutive league defeats with Saturday's home defeat to Ross County the most devastating of the bunch. Somehow they are being dragged into the relegation picture and the pressure is building to stop the rot. A month ago Dundee United would have been 4/7 for this game and even taking into account the losses of Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven I cant have them any bigger than 8/11. Back Dundee United to win.

Dumbarton are in wretched form at the moment with six defeats in their last seven and in losing their last four home games they have conceded 15 goals to just three scored. Queen of the South on the other hand can be quite happy with how things have been going recently. A run of three consecutive wins and clean sheets was abruptly ended by Hearts at the weekend but the Doonhammers can be proud of that defeat as they took the lead and pressed the champions-elect in ways that only really Hibernian have managed to so far this season. I think there could be few goals in this one and Queen of the South should be able to beat the -1 handicap but if youre feeling really adventurous go for the -2.

Every time I have put Elgin up as value, the game has invariably been snowed off but this week I just cant help myself. Arbroath are probably better than Elgin, I think we can all agree on that, but not by anywhere near as much as the prices suggest. From bottom of the pile Elgin have almost impossibly blasted their way into the promotion race and following a run of seven wins in eight games (the other result was a draw at league leaders Queens Park) they lie six points adrift of fourth place with two games in hand. Jim Weir has absolutely transformed this side in a matter of weeks and whatever the result of this one I think its fair to say that he will be adding to January's manager of the month award. Another big part of this rise up the table has been the performances of former Inverness player Shane Sutherland, hes a pacy forward with Premiership experience and on his day he will really terrorise defences at this level. As good as Elgin have been recently, Arbroath have been almost as bad. The former league leaders are without a win in 2015 and will not be relishing the prospect of facing the league's form horses. The Elgin/draw double chance is a reasonable proposition and I wouldnt put anyone off, it but Im going for the win outright.

AUSTIN Lawyers for Rick Perry asked a state court again Monday to end the prosecution of the former governor, saying that the indictment on charges of abuse of power is faulty and that Perrys actions in issuing a veto are allowed by law.

Perrys team and the prosecution have been going back and forth for several months, with the court siding with special prosecutor Michael McCrum on most of the issues. Perrys lawyers have appealed the rulings, hoping a higher court will toss the indictment and end the prosecution.

At issue was the June 2013 veto of $7.5 million that lawmakers had approved for the anti-corruption unit of the Travis County district attorneys office. Perry said he would withhold that funding unless District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg resigned.

He cited her recent drunken driving conviction and misbehavior during the arrest, saying she should not oversee a unit enforcing public integrity.

On Monday, Perrys team attacked amendments that McCrum had added to the indictment recently. The court had found that the initial indictment lacked enough specificity about the facts behind the allegations of coercion and misuse of public office.

The defense team argued that the facts listed were not found by the grand jury. The lawyers also asserted that Perrys actions fall under an exception for coercion.

The law allows the governor to go back and forth, debate and in effect horse trade with legislators over bills. His lawyers are trying to argue that because his alleged criminal action involved a veto of legislative funds, he is protected by that exception.

The prosecution is arguing that the person he supposedly coerced is not a legislator and Perry was illegally using his power because the person he was trying to control was an office beyond his scope and not connected to the Legislature.

McCrum alleges that Perry had become frustrated with investigations of state agencies by Lehmbergs office and wanted her out. The prosecution alleges the governor, who left office in January at the end of his term, illegally tried to coerce her into leaving by threatening to withhold money until and unless she stepped down.

Perry would have appointed her replacement.

Perry team disputes he wanted to control Travis DAs office

Perrys attorneys again urge court to find governor's veto was not a crime

LA CRESCENT, Minn. When construction equipment appeared next to the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks at Millers Crossing in January, sand mining opponents pounced.

Two citizen groups, Citizens Acting for Rail Safety and the Houston County Protectors issued a news release claiming the railroad was constructing a siding that would lay the groundwork for an industrial loading facility and pave the way for large-scale silica sand mining once the countys three-year moratorium expires in March.

Thats big news in our county the potential for frac sand mining in our county, said Ken Tschumper, a member of the HCP group. This rail siding offers the opportunity to have a loading facility in the same area.

As it turned out, the cranes were there to replace parts of the bridge over Millers Pond, but the railroad does have plans to upgrade its network from La Crescent south as it looks to expand its fastest growing business segment: North Dakota crude oil.

CP has four major projects in the works this year, including a realignment of its La Crescent switch yard, the Millers Crossing bridge replacement and new sidings on its Marquette line, which follows the Mississippi River south through Iowa and west to Kansas City.

The two-mile sidings one near completion in Harpers Ferry, Iowa, and another proposed for the tracks north of Brownsville, Minn. would allow trains to pass on what is currently a single-track line.

Most of CPs traffic including almost all the oil now crosses the Mississippi at La Crescent and follows the main line east through Wisconsin.

CP has been coy about the reasons for the projects but rail safety advocates suspect it signals plans to move more oil on the Marquette line, which now averages fewer than one oil unit train per week, according to reports filed with Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa officials.

We add capacity based on the routes where we believe we have demand, said spokesman Andy Cummings, who notes the railroad moves all types of commodities, including grain, coal and cars.

The companys 2014 investors book notes that crude both from Alberta, Canada, and North Dakota is the companys fastest-growing line of business expected to nearly double in 2015. The report indicates CP is working with other carriers who could pick up crude shipments in Kansas City for delivery to Gulf Coast refineries.
