Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic vs. Rangers

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Scottish Premiership action, including the Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers.

Rangers make the trip to Celtic Park this Saturday lunchtime, where they will face their city rivals for the 421st time, with the hope of extending their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to four points.

Celtic have won all bar two of their fixtures in all competitions this campaign and have kept clean sheets in their last four matches.

We say: Celtic 1-1 Rangers


Both sides have been strong defensively so far this campaign and a goal fest is not expected. With both sides missing players, this could level the playing field and see The Gers take points away from Celtic Park from successive visits in what would be the 100th Old Firm derby draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Dundee Utd vs. Aberdeen (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Dundee United host Aberdeen at Tannadice Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, with hopes of ending their poor run of form in the league by picking up what would be their fourth win of the season.

The visitors will be looking to build on their previous two victories before the international break and climb to third in the table.

We say: Dundee United 0-2 Aberdeen


Derek McInnes's side is set up to be compact when out of possession yet dangerous when in attack. The Dons come up against a side out of form and lacking a cutting edge going forward, which should see the visitors claim a solid victory on their travels.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Ross County vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Ross County are set to host Hibernian on Saturday as Stuart Kettlewell hopes to secure another home win, following their 2-1 victory against Arbroath in the Betfred Cup on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Hibernian will be confident of continuing their impressive run in the league, with Jack Ross's side currently sitting third behind Rangers and Celtic.

We say: Ross County 1-2 Hibernian


Despite Hibernian's injury troubles, we still expect the Edinburgh side to claim a win over the struggling Staggies. However, as Hibs have been poor defensively and County have recently found their goalscoring form in the Betfred Cup, this could be a close encounter between the two teams.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Livingston vs. Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Livingston host Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership this Saturday and have the chance to win five games in a row in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Killie will be hoping to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Dunfermline in midweek with a victory over the Lions.

We say: Livingston 2-0 Kilmarnock


Kilmarnock have only won one of their last five top flight visits to Livingston and have lost the previous two. With Killie players lacking match sharpness and with Livingston in a good run of form, the Lions should take all three points at the Toni Macaroni Arena.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

St Mirren vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Mirren will host Motherwell on Saturday as they return to domestic action, having won both of their opening matches in the Betfred Cup.

Stephen Robinson's side, on the other hand, have been out of action since September - with their latest match featuring a 5-1 loss against Rangers.

We say: St Mirren 1-2 Motherwell


Although they recorded a recent 5-1 loss against Rangers, the visitors picked up a decent win against Aberdeen before the international break and have been in better form than the home side. Meanwhile, St Mirren appear to be struggling and are in desperate search of another point, but will find it hard to compete against a determined Motherwell.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Hamilton vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Tenth meets 12th in the Scottish Premiership as Hamilton Academical welcome St Johnstone to the Fountain of Youth stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Both sides will be hoping to claim their third victory of the campaign, with the visitors sitting bottom of the table on goal difference, whereas the home side are two places higher but on the same number of points.

We say: Hamilton Academical 1-1 St Johnstone


A big game for two teams at the wrong end of the table with both sides struggling for goals and points. The Accies and the Saints will both be desperate to win, but with the teams lacking confidence, this fixture could see the spoils shared.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
