• Hearts have still only lost one game all season but that did come on the road at Aberdeen last month

• Rangers have drawn four of their league games at Ibrox this season, winning three and losing one

• Half of League Cup-winning St Mirren's four league wins have come in their last two games

Hearts have stretched their lead over Celtic to six points in the race for the title and the Jambos head to Easter Road for a crucial Edinburgh derby in front of the TV cameras. 

Rangers look to face a battle to achieve even a third-place finish this season and take on European rivals Motherwell at Ibrox. 

Livingston have ground to make up in their bid to avoid relegation, but face a tough tie when champions Celtic head for Almondvale. 

Hibernian vs Hearts (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Hearts have already beaten Celtic and Rangers this month and the Jambos title push is back on track.

Derek McInnes’ men rate a strong outfit, but Hibernian will not give up the Edinburgh derby easily and this tie looks set for a stalemate. 

Score prediction: Hibernian 1-1 Hearts

Dundee vs Falkirk (Saturday, 3pm)

Falkirk are in no relegation danger following last season’s promotion from the William Hill Championship and the Bairns have lost only three of their last 12 league games. 

Those defeats have come in tough fixtures against Celtic, Hearts and Hibs and a trip to Dundee, who are the worst performing side in the Scottish top flight, rates a far easier assignment. 

Score prediction: Dundee 0-2 Falkirk

Livingston vs Celtic (Saturday, 3pm)

Kelechi Iheanacho, Alistair Johnston, Sebastian Tounekti, Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota are missing from the Celtic squad and those absentees could open the door to Livingston. 

Score prediction: Livingston 1-1 Celtic 

Rangers vs Motherwell (Saturday, 3pm)

Rangers have won only two of their last seven games and it is hard to put much faith in the struggling Gers.

However, Danny Rohl’s men did show enough in last weekend’s 2-1 loss at Hearts to at least suggest they can see off a talented Motherwell side on home turf. 

Score prediction: Rangers 2-1 Motherwell 

St Mirren vs Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3pm)

Only Dundee are putting up worse numbers than manager-less Kilmarnock in the William Hill Premiership this season and it is nine defeats in 11 matches for Killie.

St Mirren lifted the Scottish League Cup trophy earlier this month and can continue the winning thread in Paisley. 

Score prediction: St Mirren 2-0 Kilmarnock

Aberdeen vs Dundee United (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Dundee United have won only one of their last nine league matches and it is hard to see the Terrors leaving the Granite City with much reward. 

Aberdeen have lost only one of their last six matches, having greatly improved since their early-season problems. 

Score prediction: Aberdeen 2-1 Dundee United
