Boyle, Nish, Toshney, Benedictus, Gallagher
Probable XI - Douglas, Irvine, McGregor, Benedictus, Lockwood, Riley, Davidson, McAllister, McBride, Nish, Milne (4-4-2)
Prediction : Aberdeen 2-0 Dundee
Dundee
took a bit of a tonking last time out against Inverness losing 5-1 at
home. I think Aberdeen have been waiting for a game like this to hand
out a bit of a hiding to someone (Craig Brown has been dreaming of it
for a while). But I dont think it will be a hiding in terms of scoreline
but it might be in terms of the difference in the teams. Aberdeen still
really struggle to get the goals they deserve and you've got to think
Dundee have been practicing their defending all week so I think UNDER 2.5 GOALS @ 1.91 (William Hill) is worth a look in this match.

Celtic v Kilmarnock
Celtic
Injuries - Stokes, Nouioui, McGeouch, Samaras
Available Squad - N/A
Probable XI - Forster, Matthews, Mulgrew, Wilson, Izaguirre, Ledley, Kayal, Wanyama, Commons, Forrest, Hooper (4-4-1-1)
Kilmarnock
Injuries - N/A
Available Squad - N/A
Probable XI - Bell, O'Leary, Pascali, Nelson, McKeown, Pursehouse, Kelly, Harkins, Fowler, Sheridan, Heffernan
Prediction : Celtic 2-0 Kilmarnock
Celtic
will be feeling it after the defeat to Barcelona and the travel etc but
they have a big enough squad to field enough fresh legs to still easily
win this match. Kilmarnock will be more competitive now with Heffernan
back to partner Sheridan up front. Still I can't see Killie getting much
out of this match but its a NO BET, no value for me!

Probable XI - Fraser, Boyd, Munro, Kovacevic, Fitzpatrick, Kettlewell, Brittain, Vigurs, Quinn, Fotheringham, McMenamin (4-5-1)
Prediction : Hearts 2-1 Ross County
It
was back to winning ways for both these teams last week and sorely
needed for both. Probably more so Ross County who hadn't won a match in
the previous 6. They really have not been the same team since their long
unbeaten run came to an end. All of a sudden they have become severely
leaky at the back, shipping 12 goals in their last 4 games. I'm
expecting Hearts to be pretty much unchanged from the win over
Motherwell and with home advantage we really should be the dominant team
here. County might nick a goal but I see Hearts getting on the scoresheet
at least twice. HOME WIN @ 2.0 (William Hill)

Probable XI - Mannus, C.Davidson, Anderson, Wright, Mackay, Hasselbaink, Millar, Craig, m.Davidson, Tade, Vine (4-4-2)
Prediction : Inverness 1-2 St Johnstone
Pretty
much a bit of an OMG this....These two teams are basically the 2 form
teams in the SPL at the moment, especially St Johnstone. After starting
the season badly all of a sudden they are invincible winning their last
SIX games on the trott! And I have no idea why!!! To be honest though,
since the home win over Celtic they have had a favourable run of
fixtures. Inverness also have won their last 3 in a row scoring
unbelievably 11 goals in the process so I really am expecting some goals
in this game and am a liitle surprised that I can get OVER 2.5 GOALS @1.91 (Paddy Power) I'll have a piece of that!

Prediction : St Mirren 1-2 Dundee Utd
Dundee
Utd find themselves 2nd bottom of the league, they do have 2 games in
hand but they are both tricky against Motherwell and Celtic so I dont
actually think their position is that false. They have simply not
produced the same performances as they achieved last year. The big news
is they have managed to sign Rudi Skacel until January much to the
disappointment of the Hearts fans who presumed he would rejoin at
Tynecastle. I nice touch for the Jambos though is the fact he has asked for his
number to be 51 after the famous 5-1 Hampden massacre he inflicted on
Hibs last year.....lol I imagine he wont start but has been training
recently with Hearts so will probably feature at some point. He will be a
useful fill in until Mackay-Steven returns. St Mirren were a hopeless
shambles against Celtic last week and looked a bit lost without McGowan.
Peter Houstons troops need a vital win and I think they will squeeze
it. DUNDEE UTD WIN @ 2.5 (Boylesports)
