St Johnstone v Celtic
St Johnstone

Available Squad - Mannus, C Davidson, Wright, MacKay, Anderson, Cregg, Pawlett, Craig, M
Davidson, Vine, Tade, Hasselbaink, Higgins, Adams, Miller, Caddis,
Tuffey, Rodger

Available

Forrest, Commons, Brown, Wanyama, Twardzik, McCourt,
Hooper, Keatings, Lassad, Miku, Kamenar, Zaluska, Chalmers, Watt, George
Probable XI - Forster, Matthews, Wilson, Mulgrew, Izaguirre, Brown, Wanyama, Commons, Forrest, Hooper, Miku (4-4-2)
Prediction : St Johnstone 1-3 Celtic
Just
think that now Celtic coming back to full strength will have far too
much for St Johnstone who are in shocking form and also with the
uncertainty over a number of players with some sort of virus going round
the club. I've got this down as an easy Celtic win and possible pan out
as an embarrassing one for the home side. In the last 19 times these
teams have meet Celtic have won 18 times. For me that says all you need
to know. I'll be having a large bet on an AWAY WIN @1.44 (Stan James) some might say that price is short, but I think it's an absolute gift! (Santa Clause stuff.....lol)

Dundee v Motherwell
Dundee
Injuries - Grassi, O'Donnell, Riley, McBride, Finnigan, Stewart, McCluskey
Available Squad - Douglas, McGregor, Lockwood, Toshney, Easton, Gallagher, Irvine,
Webster, Conroy, McAlister, Baird, McIntosh, Kerr, Davidson, Reid,
Cavanagh, Milne, Boyle, Nish
Probable XI - Douglas, Easton, Irvine, McGregor, Lockwood, Toshney, Davidson, McAllister, Conroy, Baird, Nish (4-4-2)
Motherwell
Injuries - Saunders
Available Squad - Randolph, Kerr, Cummins, Hutchinson, Page, Hammell, Francis-Angol,
Hateley, Ramsden, Law, Lasley, Hetherington, Carswell, Humphrey, Daley,
Murphy, Ojamaa, Higdon, McHugh, Hollis
Probable XI - Randolph, Hateley, Hutchinson, Ramsden, Hammell, Law, Lasley, Murphy, Daley, Ojamaa, Higdon (4-4-2)
Prediction : Dundee 0-2 Motherwell
Motherwell
will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record and with a win will
keep them top of the league. Now that they don't have Europe to distract
them I can see them kicking on well in the league as long as injuries
dont creep in. They have basically a full team to pick from and goal
scorers Higdon and Murphy really are on fire at the moment. Dundee have
played 2 at home so far and lost them both and I see this season being a
real struggle for them. Really cant see them keeping Higdon off the
score sheet in this match and thing AWAY WIN @2.1 (William Hill) is certainly worth a go.

Hibs v Kilmarnock
Hibs
Injuries -
Available Squad - Williams, Antell, Grant, Clancy, Booth, Hanlon, McPake, McGivern,
Stephens, Kujabi, Smith, Claros, Cairney, Wotherspoon, Sproule, Stanton,
Griffiths, Doyle, Caldwell, Maybury, Deegan, Kuqi, Stevenson
Probable XI - Williams, Hanlon, McPake, Clancy, Booth, Cairney, Wotherspoon, Deegan, Stevenson, Doyle, Griffiths (4-4-2)
Kilmarnock
Injuries - Tesselaar, Bell, Hay, Heffernan
Available Squad - Letheren, Fowler, O'Leary, Nelson, Kelly, Johnson, Pascali, Racchi,
Borja, Winchester, McKenzie, Jaakkola, Gros, Dayton, Boulding, Sheridan,
Harkins, O'Hara
Probable XI - Letheren, Fowler, O'Leary, Nelson, Pascali, Johnson, Racchi, Winchester, Dayton, Harkins, Sheridan (4-4-1-1)
Prediction : Hibs 1-0 Kilmarnock
Again
going to give Hibs the benefit of the doubt here, actually think they
are getting a bit of a better team together (nearly said decent...)
Deegan has or will be a key signing for them, as they were desperately
needing someone with a bit of bite and dig in the midfield. He strikes
me as a leader and that is what they have been lacking in the last few
years - heads go down too easily. Kilmarnock should give Sheridan his
debut to lead their attack but their team just looks makeshift every
week this season. It's a NO BET for me but I would expect a HOME WIN.

Inverness v Aberdeen
Inverness
Injuries - Ross, Hogg
Available Squad - Esson, Meekings, Raven, Warren, G Shinnie, Tudur Jones, Morrison, A
Shinnie, Pepper, Draper, Foran, Doran, Sutherland, McKay, King, Laing,
Polworth, Reguero
Probable XI - Esson, Meekings, Raven, Warren, G.Shinnie, Tudur-Jones, A.Shinnie, Foran, Doran, Sutherland, McKay (4-4-2)
Aberdeen
Injuries - Naysmith, Milsom
Available Squad - Langfield, Brown, Foster, Considine, Anderson, Robertson, Jack, Hughes,
Rae, Vernon, Fallon, Hayes, Osbourne, Megginson, Magennis, Fraser,
Smith, Low, McGinn, Reynolds
Probable XI - Langfield, Foster, Considine, Anderson, Reynolds, Jack, Rae, Hughes, Hayes, Fallon, McGinn (4-4-2)
Prediction : Inverness 0-1 Aberdeen
Yes,
folks it time for Aberdeen to actually get a win instead of their
normal draws. On paper they have a decent starting XI with heaps of
experience, they just need to simply start finding the back of the net.
Inverness took a pumping last time out and I think confidence will still
be low. Aberdeen should be able to control this match from midfield
with the creative players like Hayes and Hughes. AWAY WIN @ 2.6 (William Hill) appeals to me.

St Mirren v Hearts
St Mirren
Injuries - McGregor,Adam
Doubts - McLean, Dummett
Available Squad - Samson, Mair, van Zanten, Barron, McAusland, Teale, Imrie, Goodwin,
McGowan, Carey, McLean, Guy, Robertson, Thompson, Reilly, Dummett,
Parkin, Smith
Probable XI - Samson, Van Zanten, Mair, McAusland, Barron, Carey, Goodwin, McLean, Imrie, Thompson, Parkin (4-4-2)
Hearts
Injuries -
Available Squad - MacDonald, R McGowan, Webster, Zaliukas, Grainger, Paterson, Barr,
Taouil, Novikovas, Carrick, Sutton, Driver, Hamilton, Robinson, Holt, D
McGowan, McHattie, Stevenson, Enckelman
Probable XI - MacDonald, Paterson, Webster, Zaliukas, Grainger, Barr, McGowan, Robinson, Driver, Stevenson, Sutton (4-1-3-1-1)
Prediction : St Mirren 0-1 Hearts
Both
teams teams have identical records here, played 5 won 1 drawn 3 and
lost 1. I think Hearts can take a rare away win here tomorrow though and
they really need it even at this early stage to keep in touch with the
top of the league.
It's sure to be a very tight match and I think under 2.5 goals is almost a certainty but I will stick my neck out and take HEARTS TO BE WINNING AT HALF TIME @ 3.4 (Bet 365)
