Tip - Inverness 0-1 Rangers
Big Terry Butcher was fuming after not coming away from Dunfermline with a win in that crazy mate last weekend. Expect it to be a very tight affair, weather and pitch conditions may come into it as it has been pissing down all week up here.
Recent results suggest a close one with a possible rangers win but their defence could be dodgy if Broadfoot and Bartley have to play at centre backs.

Tip - Celtic 2-0 Dundee Utd
Big blow for both teams last week with leg breaks for both Severin and Izaguirre, Celtic at home will have too much for Utd. Silly short price for a Celtic win though but Dundee Utd haven't beaten Celtic at Parkhead for over a decade! Might well take the -1.5 A/H on Celtic but just heard Kayal is a doubt after getting a knock on international duty!

Tip : Hearts 1-0
Geez, I was going to smash Hearts to win here but there is a lot of doubt on the fitness of a number of players so NO BET for me but if Hearts can manage to get out a decent team I reckon they should beat a poor Aberdeen side. Aberdeen did have much improved performance against Celtic but rarely threaten a goal.

Tip - St Johnstone 1-0 Dunfermline
Got zero interest in this one, St Johnstone for me are just a rubbish team that make up the numbers in the SPL, I expect Dunfermline will try to be better in defence after giving up 3 at home last week. Sandaza might make the starting line up, he used to play for Dundee Utd and could be a good partner for Sheridan up front for St Johnstone. Take under 2.5 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Tip : St Mirren 0-1 Motherwell
Two teams that like to get the ball down and play, Motherwell have a lot of good young players and I think Staurt McCall is a decent manager for them. Will take Motherwell to just nick this one. (with no great certainy....)
