• Hearts six points clear of Celtic at the top of the table

• Rangers have won five league games in a row

• Rock-bottom Livingston have drawn their last two games

Hearts, Celtic and Rangers continue to do battle in the Scottish Premiership title race and the Jambos host the champions at Tynecastle in a crucial showdown with the Bhoys on Sunday.

The Gers look booked for three points when Dundee come to Ibrox on Sunday, while basement side Livingston will hope to ease their relegation fears at Aberdeen on Saturday.

Aberdeen vs Livingston (Saturday, 3pm)

Livingston are winless in 22 matches, but David Martindale has added eight players to his squad in the January transfer window and that should see some upturn for the division's bottom side.

The Dons have taken only one point from their last six Scottish top-flight games and look vulnerable despite being on home turf at Pittodrie.

Score prediction: Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston

Dundee United vs St Mirren (Saturday, 3pm)

St Mirren have been dragged into a relegation battle and it is six league games without success for the Buddies.

The Saints have scored only four goals in their last eight games and fears of the drop are unlikely to be eased at Dundee United.

Score prediction: Dundee United 2-0 St Mirren

Falkirk vs Hibs (Saturday, 3pm)

Falkirk have enjoyed an excellent campaign and the Bairns are pushing for a top-six finish. John McGlynn's men have lost only three of their 11 home league matches this term, but Hibs could pose a tough test.

David Gray has built an impressive team and a 1-0 Ibrox loss to Rangers is the only defeat the Leith side have suffered in their last seven Scottish top-flight contests.

Score prediction: Falkirk 1-1 Hibs

Motherwell vs Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3pm)

Motherwell have been excellent this season and the Steelmen have won six of their last seven games at Fir Park.

Well have not conceded a single goal in their previous seven home league fixtures and Jens Berthel Askou's men have lost only one of their last 13 games.

Kilmarnock, a poor and shot-shy team, have hit the net just four times in their last eight matches and are unlikely to break down the Steelmen.

Score prediction: Motherwell 2-0 Kilmarnock

Hearts vs Celtic (Sunday, 3pm)

Hearts have already downed Celtic 3-1 at Tynecastle this term and the capital club were also good enough to win 2-1 at Parkhead.

The Jambos have been brilliant all season and there is no sign of Derek McInnes' men faltering in their title push, so Hearts can keep on beating the champions, despite several key injury absentees.

Score prediction: Hearts 1- 0 Celtic

Rangers vs Dundee (Sunday, 3pm)

Danny Rohl has galvanised Rangers to move the Ibrox side into the title picture, with the Gers having recorded seven straight victories.

Dundee have moved clear of relegation danger, but the Dee rate as one of the Scottish top-flight's weakest teams and a trip to Govan is unlikely to bring any success.

Score prediction: Rangers 3- 0 Dundee
