The first Old Firm showdown of the season takes place this weekend, with arch-rivals Rangers and Celtic locking horns at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.

Rangers endured a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League playoffs on Wednesday, while the Bhoys were held to a goalless draw by St Johnstone last time out.

We say: Rangers 2-2 Celtic

Rangers and Celtic invariably produce fireworks when they do battle - and Sunday's showdown looks destined to be another eventful encounter.

Given that both sides have already dropped points this season, we can see the Old Firm foes serving up an entertaining draw at Ibrox.

Aberdeen vs. Hibernian (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Hibernian will be attempting to lift themselves off the foot of the Scottish Premiership table on Sunday when they travel to face Aberdeen, who are currently sat just above the relegation zone.

Both teams are winless right now in the SPL following difficult starts to the new season, with the visitors having failed to pick up a single point so far.

We say: Aberdeen 3-0 Hibernian

Both teams will likely see this as a perfect opportunity to secure their first victory of the season considering the poor start that each has had, but it is the hosts who will be the favourites.

Hibernian's poor defensive record is a major concern for them, and that is something that should lead to Aberdeen taking all three points.

Motherwell's undefeated start to the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign will be tested once again this weekend when they make the trip to face Hearts.

The visitors have had a mixed start to the new season, and head into this match on the back of being knocked out of the Europa Conference League.

We say: Hearts 1-2 Motherwell

Hearts have had a mixed season so far, but the fact they head into this game on the back of a trio of losses is something that could be crucial when it comes to momentum.

Motherwell have proven themselves resilient and difficult to defeat this season, and that is why they are likely to edge this one in what promises to be a close fixture.
