Celtic vs Falkirk – Saturday August 29 (3pm)

Celtic have endured a nightmare week, suffering a humiliating 5-1 defeat by LASK and missing out on the Champions League league phase, having led the tie 3-0 from the first leg and even taken a 1-0 lead in the return.

The Bhoys will be desperate to put the situation right with a win, but playing in front of a packed Celtic Park will come with its own pressures.

However, Martin O'Neill's side should be too strong for Falkirk, who are the only team yet to score in the Scottish Premiership.

Score prediction: Celtic 2-0 Falkirk (11/2 with LiveScore Bet)

Hearts vs St Johnstone – Saturday August 29 (3pm)

Hearts will come into Saturday's match on a high after beating Rapid Vienna on penalties to qualify for the Conference League league phase on Wednesday night.

While the Jam Tarts have travelled to Austria and back, they have a few days recovery and boast the quality and nous to beat a St Johnstone side who lost to St Mirren last time out.

Score prediction: Hearts 2-0 St Johnstone (23/4 with LiveScore Bet)

Kilmarnock vs Dundee United – Saturday August 29 (3pm)

Kilmarnock scored three goals on the opening weekend of the Scottish Premiership and still came away from St Johnstone with nothing after losing 4-3. Going on to concede five in defeat to Celtic, Killie's leaky defence means the team are bottom of the table.

Dundee United have also let in seven goals in three games, so Saturday's encounter at Rugby Park could see plenty of goalmouth action.

Score prediction: Kilmarnock 2-2 Dundee United (8/1 with LiveScore Bet)

Aberdeen vs Rangers – Sunday August 30 (12pm)

Rangers head to Pittodrie on Sunday having faced Czech outfit Jablonec in Conference League qualifying on Thursday evening and will be out to earn a first league win of the season.

However, the Gers come up against an Aberdeen team that has won six of their seven games this season and so it will not be a straightforward task and a point on the road might actually represent a decent result.

Score prediction: Aberdeen 1-1 Rangers (11/2 with LiveScore Bet)

Dundee vs Hibernian – Sunday August 30 (3pm)

Dundee have had a week to enjoy their derby victory over Dundee United and will claim bragging rights until the next meeting in January. Before then, the Dark Blues face Hibernian in a game which could bring them back down to earth.

Hibs, who beat Rangers 2-1 at Ibrox in their last league game, can win on the road again following their Conference League play-off with Belgian side Gent.

Score prediction: Dundee 0-1 Hibernian (6/1 with LiveScore Bet)

St Mirren vs Motherwell – Sunday August 30 (3pm)

St Mirren and Celtic are the only teams boasting 100% records in the Scottish Premiership and the Buddies have done so without conceding a goal.

Craig McLeish’s side did lose 5-1 at Rangers in the Scottish League Cup, but will be out to earn another clean sheet when they host Motherwell.

'Well have been in action on the continent at Freiburg and Saints' freshness, together with home advantage, could give them the edge.

Score prediction: St Mirren 1-0 Motherwell (6/1 with LiveScore Bet)
