- Aberdeen hoping to bounce back at Dundee United's expense
- Rangers have a point to prove against Motherwell

Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic will look to maintain their 12-point advantage at the top of the table ahead of another busy day in the Scottish top-flight.

Brendan Rodgers' side are leading the way at the top of the table after Rangers slipped up against St. Mirren on Boxing Day.

While Hibernian have improved their fortunes, Aberdeen will look to end a seven-match winless run this weekend.

Tom Hill has correct score picks for all six Scottish Premiership matches.

Celtic vs St Johnstone (Sunday, 3pm)

Celtic thumped Motherwell 4-0 on Boxing Day to give their fans something to smile about after last weekend's disappointing goalless draw against Dundee United.

Thankfully for the Hoops they welcome St Johnstone to Celtic Park on Sunday, with the visitors without a win in five matches.

Score prediction: Celtic 3-1 St Johnstone

Hibernian vs Kilmarnock (Sunday, 3pm)

Hibernian recorded their first win at Tynecastle in five years on Boxing Day as they beat Edinburgh rivals Hearts 2-1.

David Gray's side are now looking to break into the top six in the Scottish Premiership, but they face eighth-placed Kilmarnock, who are unbeaten in four.

Killie should put up a fight, but they are winless in five on their travels.

Score prediction: Hibernian 2-1 Kilmarnock

Motherwell vs Rangers (Sunday, 3pm)

Motherwell will look to bounce back from their Boxing Day thrashing to Celtic when they play host to Rangers at Fir Park.

The Well were thumped 4-0 on their travels on Thursday, while Rangers let themselves down as they lost 2-1 to St. Mirren.

Gers boss Philippe Clement said Rangers "threw away 45 minutes and three points" last time out, but they beat their hosts 2-1 in the Scottish League Cup at Fir Park in November and will take confidence from that result.

Score prediction: Motherwell 1-2 Rangers

Ross County vs Hearts (Sunday, 3pm)

After ending a 15-month wait for an away victory, Ross County will look to build on that result when they host struggling Hearts on Sunday.

County beat Dundee 3-0 on Sunday to move themselves four points clear of rock-bottom St. Johnstone, while Hearts are two points behind them.

Losing the Edinburgh derby to Hibs will have been a big blow, while the Jambos have failed to score in any of their last four away games.

Score prediction: Ross County 1-0 Hearts

St Mirren vs Dundee (Sunday, 3pm)

Two teams in contrasting form meet at the SMISA Stadium in Paisley on Sunday as St Mirren host Dundee.

The hosts have won three in a row to move into fifth in the table, while Dundee have lost three on the bounce, failing to score in each of those defeats.

Score prediction: St Mirren 2-0 Dundee

Dundee United vs Aberdeen (Sunday, 5.15pm)

Dundee United will look to move to within three points of Aberdeen by winning Sunday's evening kick-off in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts have only lost one of their last eight in the league, while the Dons are now winless in seven following a 4-0 defeat to Kilmarnock on Boxing Day.

Score prediction: Dundee United 2-0 Aberdeen
