• Hearts are the only undefeated side left in the Scottish Premiership this season

• Second-place Celtic trail the frontrunners by five points in the standings

• Rangers have won just one of their opening eight games of the campaign

Leaders Heart of Midlothian will have their Scottish Premiership title credentials put to the test on Sunday when they host reigning champions Celtic in a mouthwatering clash at Tynecastle.

While the top two in the table clash in the capital, Rangers will be hoping to pick up just their second win of the league campaign when they host Kilmarnock at Ibrox in what will be Danny Rohl’s first Premiership game in charge of the Old Firm outfit.

Dundee United vs St Mirren (3pm Saturday)

Dundee United have been one of the surprise packages in the Premiership this season and they should have enough firepower with Ivan Doleck up front to overcome St Mirren.

Both teams have failed to score in any of the last five meetings between these sides and the Tangerines are backed to win to nil at Tannadice Park.

Score prediction: Dundee United 1-0 St Mirren

Falkirk vs Dundee (3pm Saturday)

Eighth takes on ninth in the Premiership on Saturday, as Falkirk host Dundee in a game in which the visitors might well claim the spoils.

Winning their last two games 3-0 against the Bairns, Dundee look capable of picking up their third win of the campaign to try and climb into the top half of the table.

Score prediction: Falkirk 0-1 Dundee

Livingston vs Motherwell (3pm Saturday)

No team has conceded more goals than Livingston in the Premiership this season and Motherwell should be able to overcome the rock-bottom side on Saturday.

Conceding 18 goals in nine outings, Livi have struggled at the back and Motherwell should be able to take the three points back with them to North Lanarkshire.

Score prediction: Livingston 1-2 Motherwell

Hearts vs Celtic (12pm Sunday)

On to the main event on Sunday in Edinburgh, as new title contenders Hearts host Celtic at Tynecastle.

Celtic might still be feeling the effects of their Europa League game on Thursday, while Hearts will be the fresher of the two teams.

Keeping four clean sheets on the bounce, Hearts look capable of keeping Celtic at bay in what might prove to be a stalemate in the capital.

Score prediction: Hearts 0-0 Celtic

Aberdeen vs Hibernian (2.30pm Sunday)

Hibernian will also look to keep up the pace at the top end of the Premiership table when they travel to strugglers Aberdeen.

A lack of goals has been a real issue for the Dons this season and, while the Reds have improved recently in the Premiership, Hibernian should have too much quality at Pittodrie.

Score prediction: Aberdeen 0-2 Hibernian

Rangers vs Kilmarnock (3pm Sunday)

Rohl’s tenure at Rangers started with defeat to Brann in the Europa League but the German tactician can get off to a winning start in the Premiership at home to Kilmarnock.

The Gers have won all of their last eight home games against Killie, while you have to go back to March 2018 for the last time the Ayrshire outfit triumphed at Ibrox.

Rangers have been poor this season but they can start to turn things around with three points on Sunday.

Score prediction: Rangers 2-0 Kilmarnock
