Scottish Premiership fixtures: Who will come out on top this weekend? | Football News

It promises to be another entertaining weekend in the Scottish Premiership with a lot at stake and two games live on Sky Sports.

The cameras will be at Fir Park on Sunday as Motherwell host Hibernian before attention turns to Tannadice Park as Rangers take on Dundee United.

Celtic can extend their lead at the top of the table, for at least 24 hours, when they face Kilmarnock at Parkhead on Saturday.

It was also a big afternoon for Jim Goodwin’s Aberdeen as they look to get back to winning ways, while Ross County desperately need points in the battle for survival.

Here we take a look at what’s at stake…

Is it live on Sky Sports?

There are two games to look forward to live on Sky Sports This week.

First up at 1.30pm is a match between two sides desperate for points as Motherwell take on Hibernian.

Steven Hammell’s side are winless in their last six games while Hibs have won just one of their last seven.

Motherwell are just above the relegation play-off spot on goal difference, while Lee Johnson’s men are just four points clear at the top.

Attention then moves to Tannadice Park at 4pm as Dundee United take on Rangers.

Liam Fox’s side have hit some form and have lifted themselves off the foot of the table with back-to-back wins, while Michael Beale is unbeaten since taking charge at Ibrox during the World Cup break.

It was a close encounter when the side in September with Rangers claimed a 2-1 victory.

Can Kilmarnock upset the odds at Celtic Park?

With Rangers out of action until Sunday, Ange Postecoglou’s side have the chance to move 12 points clear if they return to winning ways against Kilmarnock.

Kyogo Furuhashi’s late goal at Ibrox last time out kept them unbeaten as their second Old Firm game of the season ended in a 2-2 draw.

Killie are unbeaten in their last three games and that run sees them ninth in the table, albeit just one point above the relegation play-off spots.

Derek McInnes will be hoping for a better showing from his players after the last league meeting ended in a 5-0 defeat with five Celtic players on the scoresheet.

Will Aberdeen end their winless run?

Pressure is mounting on Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin after five games without a win in the Scottish Premiership.

The Dons now sit fourth in the table, five points behind third-placed Hearts and just three ahead of Hibernian in eighth.

Callum Davidson’s St Johnstone are also struggling for form and head to Pittodrie with three straight defeats.

Meetings between the teams have rarely been high-scoring with six of the last seven matches going 1-0.

Can Ross County avoid being cut further?

Bottom of the table Ross County head into Saturday’s game against Livingston without a win in five games.

If they find some form, they could end the weekend level on points with Dundee United who currently occupy the relegation play-off spots.

Livingston have also struggled of late and are also winless in their last five league games, drawing 1-1 with Motherwell in their last outing.

That said, given how tight the table is, David Martindale’s side could go up to fourth if they win and another result goes that way.

Will St Mirren keep going?

St Mirren have lost just one Scottish Premiership game at the SMiSA Stadium this season and that was on the opening day.

Stephen Robinson’s side sit fifth in the table ahead of Hearts’ visit and it will be a battle between the two current league sides.

The Tynecastle side have taken 10 points from 12 since the World Cup break but face a tough test with the Buddies also unbeaten in their last five.

The first meeting of the season will be followed by another match in Gorgie mid next week.
