Kilmarnock v Celtic (12noon KO)
Kilmarnock
Injuries - Kroca, Buijs, O'Leary, Pascali, Silva
Available Squad - Bell, Toshney, Hay, Fowler, Nelson, Kelly, Sissoko, Shiels, Gordon, Harkins, Johnson, Johnston, Van Tornhout, Gros, Letheren, Dayton, Racchi, Pursehouse, Heffernan, Kennedy.
Probable XI - Bell, Toshney, Nelson, Sissoko, Gordon, Hay, Fowler, Johnson, Harkins, Shiels, Heffernan (4-4-2)
Celtic
Injuries - Majstorovic, Forrest
Suspended - Wanyama
Available Squad - Forster, Cha, Lustig, Matthews, Rogne, Loovens, Mulgrew, Commons, Brown, Ledley, Samaras, Stokes, Ki, Hooper, Blackman, Zaluska, Izaguirre, Kelvin Wilson, McGeouch
Probable XI - Forster, Matthew, Rogne, Loovens, Izaguirre, Mulgrew, Brown, Ki, Ledley, Stokes, Hooper (4-4-2)
Prediction : Kilmarnock 1-3 Celtic
All that is wrong with Scottish football will be demostrated tomorrow, with Kilmarnock letting Celtic have 3 of the 4 stands at Rugby Park for the title party. I see Celtic winning the title here simple as that.
Hooper and Stokes have been quiet of late so I expect them to get on the score sheet. I'm really surprised at the overs market, so I will take OVER 2.5 goals @ 1.95 (William Hill) as my nap of the day.
Celtic to win the title in style here and avenge the Cup Final defeat to show who's boss.

Aberdeen v Dundee Utd
Aberdeen
Injuries - Fyvie, Osbourne, Milsom, Folly
Doubts - Anderson, Fallon
Available Squad - Brown, Considine, McArdle, Reynolds, Arnason, Jack, Rae, Vernon, Megginson, Chalali, Fallon, Langfield, Mackie, Mawene, Uchechi, Clark, Robertson, Pawlett, Hughes
Probable XI - Brown, McArdle, Arnason, Considine, Reynolds, Clark, Rae, Robertson, Pawlett, Vernon, Mackie (4-4-2)
Dundee Utd
Injuries - Lacny
Available Squad - Pernis, Dillon, Gunning, Watson, Neilson, Kenneth, Dixon, Douglas, Armstrong, S Robertson, Ryan, Flood, Mackay-Steven, Rankin, Russell, Daly, Dow, Banks
Probable XI - Pernis, Watson, Dillon, Gunning, Dixon, Food, Roberston, Rankin, Mackay-Steven, Russell, Daly (4-4-2)
Prediction : Aberdeen 0-1 Dundee Utd
Aberdeen are off the back of a 3-0 lose at Tynecastle last week and are really showing some pretty dreadful form in the league. They have lost their last 3 in a row and haven't won in their last 7 league games. In stark contrast Dundee Utd are in excellent form winning their last 6 league games in a row and scoring goals for fun. Aberdeen are missing a few key men so I reckon this is an excellent spot to back an away win. I'm backing a Dundee Utd WIN @ 2.3 (Ladbrokes)

Dunfermline v Hearts
Dunfermline
Injuries - Burns
Doubtful - Rutkiewicz, Buchanan
Available Squad - Smith, McMillan, Graham, Dowie, Rutkiewicz, Keddie, McCann, Cardle, Mason, Willis, Kerr, Kirk, Buchanan, Hardie, Goodfellow, Boyle, Thomson, Hutton, Fernandez
Probable XI - Fernandez, McMillan Dowie, Keddie, McCann, Cardle, Mason, Hardie, Kerr, Kirk, Buchanan (4-4-2)
Hearts
Injuries - Kyle, Templeton
Doubtful - Elliott
Available Squad - MacDonald, McGowan, Zaliukas, Webster, Grainger, Hamill, Prychynenko, Barr, Black, Santana, Driver, Skacel, Beattie, Glen, Ridgers, Elliott, Novikovas, Robinson, Holt
Probable XI - McDonald, McGowan, Zaliukas, Webster, Grainger, Hamill, Black, Barr, Driver, Skacel, Beattie (4-4-1-1)
Prediction : Dunfermline 0-1 Hearts
I think finally we will see Dunfermline replace their hopeless keeper and start with Fernandez. Dunfermline haven't won in 10 games since their shock 3-0 win away to Kilmarnock and sit 6 points adrift of the dirty Hibees at the bottom of the league. In truth I would prefer to see Hearts throw this game to heap pressure on Hibs who host Motherwell on Sunday but to be honest with Hearts terrible away form we will probably struggle anyway. Hearts have only had 3 away league wins all season but one of those did come last time at Dunfermline. For me though the price for an away win is very skinny, instead I would prefer to have a go at the UNDER 2.5 goals @ 1.91 (Stan James)

Rangers v St Mirren
Rangers
Injuries - Whittaker, Wallace, Naismith
Available Squad - McGregor, Papac, Lafferty, Goian, Perry, Bartley, Davis, McCulloch, Aluko, Edu, Little, Bedoya, MacLeod, Kerkar, Alexander, Healy, McCabe, Mitchell
Probable XI - McGregor, Bartley, Goian, Bocanegra, Papac, Aluko, Davis, Edu, McCabe, McCulloch, Lafferty (4-4-2)
St Mirren
Injuries - Barron
Available Squad - Samson, Van Zanten, McAusland, Tesselaar, Mair, Carey, Imrie, Goodwin, McGowan, Teale, Thomson, Thompson, Hasselbaink, Smith, Mooy, Naismith, Reilly, Murray, McGregor, McLean
Probable XI - Samson, Van Zanten, McAusland, Mair, Tesselaar, Carey, Imrie, Goodwin, McGowan, Thompson, Hasselbaink (4-4-2)
Prediction : Rangers 1-0 St Mirren
As soon as Rangers get their platers back from injury they seem to get injured again. Whittaker is back out and Wallace will be missed here too. I see Rangers are priced as 1.4 favourites which puzzles me as there is no way they are back to being safe winners at that sort of price, especially as they are going into games with literally no back up on the bench. Its a firm NO BET for me! Rangers will probably win with a full house expected at Ibrox again but I have zero interest in it.

Suspended - Wright
Available Squad - Mannus, Maybury, McCracken, MacKay, Morris, Moon, Croft, Oyenuga, Craig, Millar, Sheridan, Sandaza, Anderson, Mitchell, Moffat, Enckelman, Robertson, C Davidson, M Davidson, Riordan

Probable XI - Tuffey, Meekings, Tokely, Golobart, Gillet, Hayes, Foran, Tansey, G. Shinnie, McKay, Tade (4-4-1-1)
Prediction - St Johnstone 2-1 Inverness
When you see the bookies offering evens for the home team here to win I say take it. St Johnstone have been a much better team all season than Inverness and to be honest were pretty impressive in their 2-0 defeat at Celtic Park last week. St Johnstone to win @ 2.0 (BetFred). I also fancy big Sandaza to get a goal and will have a little pop at him anytime goalscorer @2.3 (Paddy Power)
