Aberdeen and Rangers will return to action following their winter break on Tuesday when they compete against each other, with both teams looking to kickstart 2022 with a bang.

The hosts could slip into the bottom half of the table with a defeat, adding pressure on this fixture, while the Gers will be looking to maintain their six-point lead at the top of the table.

We say: Aberdeen 0-2 Rangers


While Aberdeen will be sure to provide a stern test for Rangers, the Gers have been dominant throughout the entire season, which is something that should continue into 2022.

The defensive qualities that the team have provide them with a distinct advantage, having not conceded a single goal in their previous six matches, they should be able to hold the Dons out.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Dundee Utd vs. St Mirren (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

St Mirren will be attempting to get back to winning ways on Tuesday after 11 games without one when they travel to Tannadice Park to face Dundee United.

The hosts also ended 2021 in poor form, which they will want to recover to kickstart 2022, as they have failed to gain a victory in their previous six matches.

We say: Dundee United 1-1 St Mirren


Neither team is heading into this game in good form, with both having runs without a victory that they will be keen to finish on Tuesday night.

However, with each squad lacking in confidence, they could end up sharing the points for a second time within this campaign.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Hearts vs. St Johnstone (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Hearts will be aiming to kickstart their 2022 in winning ways as they will attempt to extend the run of victories to three in a row when they face St Johnstone on Tuesday.

The visitors are currently bottom of the league and are in the midst of a nine-match run without three points, with pressure on every performance in the second half of the season.

We say: Hearts 2-0 St Johnstone


St Johnstone are in a desperate need of points at the moment due to the fact they are bottom of the league, but this will be a tough first fixture back from the break.

Hearts ended the year in good form, and they have been one of the most dominant teams in the division so far this season, which they should be able to continue here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Livingston vs. Dundee (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Dundee have the chance to escape the relegation zone with a victory on Tuesday night when they travel to face Livingston in a crucial match for the bottom half of the table.

The hosts are only four points clear of the bottom two and a defeat would drag them into the fight to kickstart the second half of the season.

We say: Livingston 2-0 Dundee


Both teams will be desperate to start 2022 in the right way as each club aims to push away from the relegation zone early on in the year.

Dundee ended 2021 in poor form, and while they will see this as a winnable game, it could prove to be another tough encounter, especially with their poor defensive form.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Motherwell will go in search of a third straight Scottish Premiership victory upon their return to action on Tuesday, when they travel to take on Ross County.

Both sides will take to the pitch for the first time since the return of the year, with the visitors sitting six places and 13 points better off than their hosts.

We say: Ross County 1-2 Motherwell


Ross County have certainly come on leaps and bounds recently, and we would not be surprised if they earned a result on Tuesday, but we ultimately see a strong Motherwell side just getting over the line on their travels.

Alexander's men have had to grind out plenty of hard-fought victories this season, and we expect them to do that again upon their return to action.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
