Sunday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Rangers vs. Celtic

The first Old Firm derby of the season takes place on Sunday afternoon as Rangers play host to Celtic at Ibrox.

With both teams currently placed outside of the top three in the Scottish Premiership standings, defeat for either side would leave them further off the pace.

We say: Rangers 1-1 Celtic

With both teams having endured difficult nights in Europe, we do not expect the most frenetic of derbies on Sunday.

Given their respective starts, both teams would likely take a point if it were offered to them, and everything points to a low-scoring draw in Glasgow.

Aberdeen vs. Ross County (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen will look to extend their unbeaten record in the Scottish Premiership to four matches when they play host to Ross County on Sunday afternoon.

While the Dons have impressed during the opening weeks of the campaign, Ross County have collected just one point from their opening three games.

We say: Aberdeen 2-0 Ross County

After the disappointment of Thursday night, it remains to be seen how Aberdeen will react. That said, turning their focus to domestic matters should only benefit them, and we expect a relatively comfortable win for the home side.

St Mirren and St Johnstone go head to head on Sunday afternoon with both clubs still searching for their first Scottish Premiership win of the season.

While the home side have had a week to prepare for this contest, St Johnstone must attempt to overcome the disappointment of exiting the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

We say: St Mirren 2-1 St Johnstone

Davidson will call upon his players to produce one last performance before they take a well-earned break during the international fixtures. However, tiredness could play its part here, leading us to predict a narrow win for the home team.
