Tony Docherty's Dundee are looking to avoid slipping into the relegation play-off position

- Celtic have scored five goals in four of their last six matches in all competitions
- A win for Dundee United can see them leapfrog Aberdeen and finish fourth
- Ross County and Dundee are looking to avoid the relegation play-off

It is the last weekend of the Scottish Premiership season and the six matches will be spread across Saturday and Sunday.

The Championship group concludes on Saturday, while the Relegation group play their final games on Sunday afternoon.

Celtic vs St Mirren (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Champions Celtic are unbeaten in five in the league going into their home clash with St Mirren, who are a massive 42 points behind their opponents.

Brendan Rodgers’ men have won their last eight games against the Buddies, which includes a 5-2 away win in March.

St Mirren have failed to score in two of the three meetings with Celtic this term. They go into this fixture unbeaten in their last five, although four of those games have been at home.

Score prediction: Celtic 5-0 St Mirren

Dundee United vs Aberdeen (Saturday, 12.30pm)

These two teams are battling it out to see who will qualify for the Europa League by finishing fourth, with Aberdeen currently holding a three-point advantage.

With only a two-goal difference between them, a win for Dundee United would be enough to secure fourth place.

Both teams have lost their last three and have found goals hard to come by, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a low-scoring affair at Tannadice.

Score prediction: Dundee United 1-1 Aberdeen

Hibernian vs Rangers (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Having been in the relegation section last season, a third-place finish for Hibs is a big improvement under manager David Gray.

A big reason for that turnaround has been their home form, with Hibs unbeaten in 12 at Easter Road and that includes a 2-1 win over Celtic in February.

It has been a season to forget for Rangers, who will finish a long way behind Celtic, but they go into this season finale having won their last two games against Aberdeen and Dundee United.

Score prediction: Hibernian 1-2 Rangers

Kilmarnock vs Hearts (Sunday, 3pm)

This will be the fourth time these two teams have met this season, with Kilmarnock winning twice and Hearts once.

The previous game at Rugby Park ended in a 1-0 success for Killie, despite them having Robbie Deas sent off after just six minutes.

The hosts have won their last three games on home soil, scoring seven goals in the process.

Score prediction: Kilmarnock 2-1 Hearts

Ross County vs Motherwell (Sunday, 3pm)

Three wins in their last four games has seen Motherwell pull well clear of the bottom two and they now face a Ross County team who are sat in the relegation play-off place.

Don Cowie’s men need a win to stand any chance of avoiding the play-off, with a two-point gap between themselves and Dundee.

County are unbeaten in their three previous meetings with Motherwell this season (two wins and a draw) and that will offer them hope, despite not collecting a win since March 1st.

Score prediction: Ross County 1-0 Motherwell

St Johnstone vs Dundee (Sunday, 3pm)

Dundee know a win at already-relegated St Johnstone will secure their place in the Premiership for next season, while a draw would probably be enough for them to survive.

The hosts have lost five of their last six games, with their only win during that run coming against Ross County.

Dundee have already won at McDiarmid Park this season, 3-1 back in January, and it would not be a surprise to see them secure another three points on Sunday.

Score prediction: St Johnstone 1-2 Dundee
