Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic, Rangers

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Scottish Premiership fixture, including Celtic and Rangers in action.


Rangers vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Rangers welcome Hibernian to Ibrox on Boxing Day for what should be a mouthwatering Scottish Premiership clash with both teams looking to maintain league momentum.

The table-topping Gers are looking to tighten their grip on first place over the festive period, while in-form Hibs have Celtic in their sights.

We say: Rangers 1-0 Hibernian


While Hibs are in good form currently, we suspect that Rangers will take the three points on Boxing Day and continue their march towards the Scottish Premiership title.

The Gers will be too strong defensively for a depleted Hibs attack to pierce and a solitary goal will be sufficient for them to take the points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Dundee Utd vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fifth faces sixth as Dundee United host Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, with the Tangerines hoping to secure back-to-back victories for the first time this season.

The Steelmen, meanwhile, ended a run of four successive losses with a 0-0 draw at home to Aberdeen in midweek.

We say: Dundee United 1-1 Motherwell


None of the last 10 Scottish Premiership games between Dundee United and Motherwell have been drawn, with the Tangerines winning seven and losing three. With both sides struggling for consistency, a draw could be on the cards this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Aberdeen vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen host St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday hoping to secure their 11th victory of the season and creep into the top two.

Meanwhile, St Johnstone's poor run of form in the league continued in midweek with a 3-0 defeat against Rangers.

We say: Aberdeen 2-0 St Johnstone


Both sides are sitting at opposite ends of the Scottish Premiership table as things stand, and even though the Saints are desperate to move away from danger, the Dons should have enough quality to secure the three points on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Hamilton vs. Celtic (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Celtic travel to Hamilton Academical in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday hoping to build on their run of four consecutive victories in all competitions and close the 16-point gap to rivals Rangers at the top of the table.

The Hoops, who will play their sixth consecutive Boxing Day league match away from home, secured a 2-0 win against Ross County in midweek, while Hamilton lost to Livingston by the same scoreline.

We say: Hamilton Academical 1-4 Celtic


The Hoops are yet to lose away from home in the league, while Hamilton have won only one of their nine league matches at the Fountain of Youth stadium this campaign. Celtic should take advantage of the league's leakiest defences and win comfortably once again this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Kilmarnock vs. Livingston (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams with contrasting form meet on Saturday as Kilmarnock host Livingston in the Scottish Premiership.

Killie's loss to Dundee United in midweek extended their losing streak to four matches, while Wednesday's win at Hamilton was the Lions' third league win on the bounce.

We say: Kilmarnock 1-2 Livingston


The home side have struggled for victories recently while the visitors are enjoying a good spell in the league. We expect Livingston to maintain their momentum and secure a slender victory this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Ross County vs. St Mirren (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Mirren travel to the Highlands on Saturday to tangle with Ross County, with the Buddies looking to bounce back from a midweek home defeat at the hands of Hibernian.

The home side are now bottom of the Scottish Premiership after a 2-0 defeat away at Celtic on Wednesday evening which was their seventh successive loss in all competitions.

We say: Ross County 0-1 St Mirren


Our prediction for this game is that the Buddies will mount a Highland raid and travel back to Paisley with three points, thanks to a hard-working performance and a 1-0 win.

The home side are low on confidence and quality, and the Saints should have too much quality for them to cope with.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
