- Celtic have a 13-point lead at the top of the Premiership standings
- Rangers sit in second place after winning their last five league matches in a row
- Aberdeen haven't won any of their last six home games in the Premiership
Celtic are in a commanding position with a 13-point advantage over Rangers as they head into the upcoming fixtures in the Scottish Premiership. The Hoops will kick off the latest round of games on Saturday afternoon with an away match against Hibernian.
Rangers, who are in good form having won their last five matches, will play St Mirren at 3pm as they aim to narrow the gap. Aberdeen, on the other hand, will try to secure their third-place position when they play Kilmarnock at Pittodrie.
Hibernian vs Celtic (Saturday, 12.30pm)
After a disappointing Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich, Celtic will face Hibernian at Easter Road. Hibs have been strong at home lately, losing only one of their last nine Premiership games at Easter Road.
With Hibernian being the fresher team, they could potentially disrupt Celtic's rhythm and secure a draw in the capital on Saturday afternoon.
Score prediction: Hibernian 1-1 Celtic
Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3pm)
Aberdeen's struggles at home have contributed to their 18-point deficit behind Rangers. They face Kilmarnock, who defeated them 4-0 in their last meeting at Rugby Park, coming into this matchup on the back of two consecutive wins against Dundee United and St Johnstone.
Kilmarnock may continue their winning streak against Aberdeen and claim another victory on the east coast.
Score prediction: Aberdeen 1-2 Kilmarnock
Dundee United vs Motherwell (Saturday, 3pm)
Dundee United have suffered five defeats in their last six league games as they prepare to face Motherwell. The Steelmen have won their last four encounters against United and could extend that run with a win at Tannadice Park this weekend.
Score prediction: Dundee United 1-2 Motherwell
Rangers vs St Mirren (Saturday, 3pm)
Rangers will be seeking redemption against St Mirren at Ibrox following their previous defeat. Since that loss, Rangers have been unbeaten in nine league games and have kept five clean sheets in their last six games at Ibrox.
Score prediction: Rangers 3-0 St Mirren
Ross County vs Dundee (Saturday, 3pm)
In a matchup at the lower end of the table, Ross County will host Dundee in Dingwall following their 3-0 victory over Motherwell. Dundee, who have not won any of their last five Premiership games, face a tough challenge away at Ross County.
Score prediction: Ross County 1-0 Dundee
St Johnstone vs Hearts (Sunday, 12pm)
Hearts, currently on a four-game unbeaten run away from home in the Premiership, will be confident as they take on St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park. Hearts have won their last eight games against the Saints and will look to continue their dominance on Sunday.
Score prediction: St Johnstone 1-2 Hearts
