Scottish Championship promotion fight predicted as Dundee and Queen's Park are joined by 4 other clubs in run-in

It is a titanic title race in the Scottish Championship with no less than six teams all within 10 points of leaders Dundee.

Here Record Sport looks through its crystal ball to see how it’s going to all pan out. With another crucial round of games arriving this weekend, there’s no let-up in the battle to bag automatic promotion into the Premiership or secure a play-off spot and now our writers have their say.

Gary Bowyer’s Dark Blues were pre-season favourites to make a return to the top flight at the first time of asking. They’ve stuck with the pack and taken advantage of Queen's Park's three-game losing streak recently to move a point clear at the top.

Goals aren’t a problem and with 60 from 33 games they’re the top scorers in the division with strikes being shared out across the frontline and midfield. Add to that the experience of Ryan Sweeney, Cammy Kerr and Jordan Marshall at the back and Dundee are a well balanced side with playmakers Paul McMullen Lyall Cameron and Luke McCowan providing the ammo for the frontmen.

Crucially they’ve taken seven points from nine from closest challengers Queen’s Park ahead of their potentially decisive clash on the final day of the season.

Key Men: Zach Robinson and Lyall Cameron

It’s all about goals at this stage of the season and these two both have 12 for the season. On-loan Wimbledon striker Robinson is the number one frontman while 20-year-old playmaker Cameron has excelled at providing from midfield.

Next 3 fixtures: Inverness (a) Saturday, April 22. Cove Rangers (h) Friday, April 28. Queen’s Park (a) Friday, May 5.

Prediction: Champions. A point clear and with three games to go, the last of those against nearest challengers Queen’s Park, then the title is very much in
