Celtic's first game as champions of the 2022-23 Scottish Premiership takes place at the home of their bitter rivals Rangers, who play hosts to the latest instalment of the Old Firm derby on Saturday lunchtime.

The Gers will be seeking revenge against the Hoops after suffering a slender 1-0 defeat in the Scottish Cup semi-finals at the end of last month.

We say: Rangers 1-2 Celtic


The Premiership title race may be over, but bragging rights remain on the line with both Glaswegian giants keen to come out on top in the final Old Firm derby of the season.

Rangers are yet to lose a league game on home soil this season, winning 15 and drawing two of their 17 matches at Ibrox, but we believe champions Celtic will end their impressive unbeaten run with a narrow victory on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Aberdeen vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen play host to Hibernian on Saturday afternoon looking for the win which will move them to the brink of securing third spot in the Scottish Premiership standings.

However, Hibs make the trip to Pittodrie knowing that they can close the gap to that position in the table to three points if they can claim an away victory.

We say: Aberdeen 2-1 Hibernian


This has all the makings of a competitive encounter with Hibs knowing that they need to push for all three points if they want to stay in the hunt for third. Nevertheless, we expect Aberdeen to get back on track with a tense triumph in front of their own supporters.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

St Mirren play host to Hearts on Saturday afternoon with the opportunity to move to within one point of the current fourth-placed side in the Scottish Premiership standings.

However, the visitors head into this contest looking to move a step closer to European qualification, something which will be secured if they prevail at the SMISA Stadium.

We say: St Mirren 1-1 Hearts


With each club losing in different circumstances last time out, it remains to be seen how they will react. A low-scoring draw does not necessarily suit either team, but, for us, it is the most likely outcome.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Dundee Utd vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Dundee United will be looking to get their survival bid back on track when they host fellow strugglers Ross County at Tannadice Park on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.

The Tangerines were defeated for the first time in four matches against St Johnstone last time out, whilst the Highlanders recorded a much-needed victory at home to Livingstone.

We say: Dundee United 1-0 Ross County


Dundee United suffered defeat at St Johnstone last time out but will be confident of beating Ross County in front of a sold-out Tannadice Park crowd on Saturday.

The Highlanders took advantage of a Livingstone team who have little to play for in the relegation group, but they now travel to the Tangerines, who will be desperate to avoid a repeat of February's scoreline between the sides.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Kilmarnock vs. Livingston (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Kilmarnock will be looking to continue their impressive home form when they welcome Livingston to The BBSP Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.

Killie were unable to make it back-to-back away wins after losing to Motherwell last time out, while Livingston's poor run continued with a 2-0 loss at Ross County.

We say: Kilmarnock 1-0 Livingston


Kilmarnock are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the Premiership and will welcome three home matches in their last four as they attempt to stay in the division.

Livingston are a team with little to play for, and we envisage another uninspiring performance from the Livi Lions - even if manager Martindale makes a host of changes to his starting XI.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

St Johnstone vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Johnstone will be aiming to take another step towards Scottish Premiership safety when they host Motherwell at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon in Perth.

The Saints started their post-split fixtures off with a 1-0 win over Dundee United, while Motherwell were convincing winners over Kilmarnock at Fir Park.

We say: St Johnstone 1-1 Motherwell


St Johnstone gave their survival bid a real boost with that win over Dundee United last time out, but the visit of Motherwell and Van Veen will be a sterner test.

The Steelmen are chasing seventh place in the Premiership and should be able to earn something out of their trip to Perth on Saturday afternoon.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
