- Celtic are 13 points clear at the top of the Premiership table
- Rangers are second after winning their last five league games on the bounce
- Aberdeen are without a win in their last six Premiership home games

Celtic have a 13-point advantage over second-place Rangers going into this weekend’s games in the Scottish Premiership and it is the Hoops that will get the latest round of fixtures underway on Saturday lunchtime with a trip to the capital to face Hibernian.

Hoping to narrow the gap, in-form Rangers kick-off at 3pm with St Mirren the visitors, while Aberdeen will look to consolidate third spot when they host Kilmarnock at Pittodrie.

Hibernian vs Celtic (Saturday, 12.30pm)

After the heartbreak of crashing out of the Champions League after a valiant performance at Bayern Munich, Celtic will have to dust themselves off for a trip to Easter Road to take on Hibernian.

Hibs have been a tough nut to crack of late in Leith, losing just one of their last nine Premiership games at Easter Road.

Hibernian will be the fresher of the two sides and they might just knock Celtic off their stride with a draw in the capital on Saturday lunchtime.

Score prediction: Hibernian 1-1 Celtic

Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3pm)

Aberdeen’s woeful home form has been a key factor in why they find themselves 18 points behind second-place Rangers going into Saturday’s game against Kilmarnock at Pittodrie.

Killie, who have won their last two games against Dundee United and St Johnstone, earned an impressive 4-0 win over the Dons in their last meeting at Rugby Park and they can claim another three points against the Reds on the east coast.

Score prediction: Aberdeen 1-2 Kilmarnock

Dundee United vs Motherwell (Saturday, 3pm)

Dundee United are on a miserable run of form, with five defeats from their last six league games ahead of Motherwell’s arrival on Saturday.

The Steelmen have won their last four games against United in all competitions and can add to that winning run at Tannadice Park this weekend.

Score prediction: Dundee United 1-2 Motherwell

Rangers vs St Mirren (Saturday, 3pm)

Rangers will be looking for revenge when they take on St Mirren at Ibrox with their last defeat in the Premiership coming against the Saints.

Since that 2-1 loss in Paisley, Rangers have gone nine games unbeaten in the league and have kept five clean sheets in their last six Premiership games at Ibrox.

Score prediction: Rangers 3-0 St Mirren

Ross County vs Dundee (Saturday, 3pm)

In a battle at the bottom end of the standings, Ross County will look to build on their 3-0 win at Motherwell when they host fellow strugglers Dundee in Dingwall.

Winless in their last five Premiership games, it is hard to see Dundee coming away from the Highlands with anything to show for their efforts.

Score prediction: Ross County 1-0 Dundee

St Johnstone vs Hearts (Sunday, 12pm)

Currently on a four-game unbeaten run in the Premiership away from home, Hearts will fancy their chances of another three points when they face St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.

Hearts are on an eight-game winning streak against the Saints and they can leave Perth with the spoils on Sunday.

Score prediction: St Johnstone 1-2 Hearts
