It is a crucial match within the SPL relegation battle on Saturday as St Johnstone host bottom-placed Ross County in what is a crucial game for both teams.

Only three points separate the two at the moment, which could provide the Staggies with a chance to climb above them as they attempt to get out of their situation.

We say: St Johnstone 0-1 Ross County

Both teams desperately need three points in this match, with a draw not being beneficial to either of them, but that could set things up to be quite close and cagey.

However, with the form that they are enjoying as of late Ross County should be able to just squeeze through to earn three points, especially with their improved defensive performances lately.

After losing in the Scottish League Cup final Hibernian will be hoping to get back to winning ways and put the defeat behind them when hosting Aberdeen on Wednesday.

However, the Dons are enjoying a three-match winning streak at the moment, but with just a point separating the two teams at the moment, there is plenty to play for in terms of league positioning.

We say: Hibernian 1-2 Aberdeen

Bouncing back from a cup final defeat is something that Hibernian will want to do at the first time of asking, but facing an in-form Aberdeen will not be a simple task.

The Dons have been performing well as of late and that confidence should push them to another victory in midweek, especially with their impressive defensive performances as of late.

Two teams at opposite ends of the SPL table will compete on Wednesday as second-placed Celtic will travel to face St Mirren, who sit just three points above the relegation zone.

The Hoops head into this match after winning the Scottish League Cup at the weekend; meanwhile, the hosts have failed to win in their previous nine matches.

We say: St Mirren 0-3 Celtic

Celtic are enjoying a fantastic run at the moment and coming off a cup final victory, they should have no shortage of confidence and momentum right now.

With St Mirren struggling as of late, this should be a routine victory for the Hoops, who will be looking to place the pressure back on Rangers.
