New league leaders Celtic will be hoping to maintain their position on top with another victory on Sunday when they travel to Fir Park as they face Motherwell.

The Steelmen are yet to win a league game since their return from the winter break, and a defeat could see them drop out of the top four depending on other results.

We say: Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

On paper, this seems like a routine fixture for the league leaders, and that is what they will be hoping transpires against a team out of form and struggling for goals.

Considering the manner in which Celtic played in midweek, they should have more than enough to maintain their lead at the top of the division with another victory.

After a disastrous Old Firm derby, Rangers will be hoping to get straight back to winning ways as they also aim to return to the top of the Scottish Premiership after slipping into second place.

However, they welcome Hearts to Ibrox, who sit just one place below them, and the Jambos could put even more pressure onto the defending champions with a victory.

We say: Rangers 2-1 Hearts

Rangers have been struggling in 2022, but the heavy defeat against their rivals and the fact they have fallen off the top spot could provide the wake-up call that the team needs.

Hearts will certainly not make it easy for them, as the visitors are having a good season themselves, but the quality within the Gers should just shine through.
