I can see Rangers having a blow out here following their shock/embarrassing exit from the cup at Falkirk midweek. I remember Rangers giving them a 7-2 pasting in the cup last year. RANGERS -1 A/H

Prediction - Celtic 3-0 Inverness CT
Injuries are starting to mount up for Celtic but they have a big enough squad to handle it. Although Inverness managed a draw last time at Celtic Park it really isn't happy hunting ground for them having lost every other previous game there. Celtic's midfield is too dominant for ICT and will control the game. CELTIC TO WIN TO NIL looks a decent chance.

Hibs v Dundee Utd (3pm KO)
Hibs
Injuries: Danny Galbraith, Matt Thornhill, Sean Welsh, Phil Airey, Micheal Hart
Available Squad: Stack, Towell, Murray, O'Hanlon, Hanlon, Booth, Sproule, Wotherspoon, Palsson, Osbourne, Scott, O'Connor, Sodje, Griffiths, Agogo, Brown, Stevenson, Stephens.

Dundee Utd
Injuries: Scott Severin,

Available Squad: Pernis, Douglas, Dixon, Watson, Dillon, Kenneth, Gunning, Smith, Allan, Flood, Rankin, Armstrong, Robertson, Mackay-Steven, Hilson, Dow, Marsh-Brown, Russell, Daly, Dalle Valle, Banks.
Probable XI: Pernis, Watson, Gunning, Kenneth, Dillon, Flood, Robertson, Swanson, Rankin, Russell, Daly (4-4-2)
Prediction - Hibs 1-1 Dundee Utd
I was thinking about giving Hibs the benefit of the doubt here as they are coming off the back of a win in the cup but their defense just can not be trusted. O'Connor is bang on form but I expect Utd to be well organised and if anything sneak a win. NO BET

Motherwell v Aberdeen (3pm KO)
Motherwell
Injuries : Shaun Hutchinson, Steven Saunders,
Available Squad: Randolph, Hateley, Hammell, Clancy, Craigan, Lasley, Jennings, Humphrey, Law, Higdon, Murphy, Daley, Forbes, McHugh, Carswell, Lawless, Page, Hollis.

Probable XI: Gonzalez, Jack, Considine, Mawene, Foster, Pawlett, Osbourne, Milsom, Arnason, Fallon, Vernon (4-4-2)
Prediction - Motherwell 1-1 Aberdeen
Tricky game to call, both knocked out of the cup at home midweek. Reckon Craig Brown will be starting to get worried about his job. But Motherwell worringly have shipped 8 goals in their last 3 home games. BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE is my pick here!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
St Mirren v Kilmarnock (3pm KO)
St Mirren
Injuries: Hugh Murray, Darren McGregor, David Barron, Aaron Mooy,
Available Squad: Samson, van Zanten, Mair, McAusland, Tesselaar, McLean, Thomson, Goodwin, Teale, Hasselbaink, McGowan, Thompson, McShane, Graeme Smith, Carey, Barron, Haddad, McKee.

Doubtful : David Silva
Available Squad: Bell, Hay, Fowler, Kroca, Harkins, Sissoko, Shiels, Dayton, Racchi, Pascali, Kelly, Panikvar, Heffernan, Hutchinson, Jaakkola, McKeown, Pursehouse, Silva.
Probable XI: Bell, Fowler, Kroca, Panikvar, Hay, Dayton, Shiels, Sissoko, Pascali, Kelly, Heffernan (4-5-1)
Prediction - St Mirren 1-1 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock had the beating of St Mirren last season winning all 3 fixtures but i do think St Mirren are a lot better this year with their new forward line. It is hard to go against Killie's good form recently so a draw looks likely. Kilmarnock +0&+0.5 at 4/5 looks tempting though.........

St Johnstone v Hearts (Sun 12pm KO)
St Johnstone
Injuries : Frazer Wright, Jody Morris, Kevin Moon, Sam Parkin, Callum Davidson, Graham Gartland, Murray Davidson
Available Squad : Enckelman, Maybury, MacKay, Anderson, Adams, Craig, Millar, Haber, Sheridan, Higgins, Sandaza, Gibson, May, Mannus, McIntosh, Caddis, McCracken, Robertson

Available Squad: MacDonald, Hamill, Grainger, Zaliukas, Taouil, Skacel, Black, Obua, Jonsson, Stevenson, Mrowiec, Elliott, Templeton, Robinson, Smith, Webster, Novikovas, Balogh.
Probable XI : McDonald, Grainger, Zaliukas, Webster, Hamill, Templeton, Black, Mrowiec, Taouil, Sutton, Elliot (4-4-2)
Prediction - St Johnstone 1-2 Hearts
Lets just say Hearts better get the win here after Paulo Sergio ridiculously rested plays in the cup and got beaten by Ayr Utd ( had we won we would have been in the 1/4 finals with Rangers knocked out - idiot!!!) St Johnstone are missing both Fraser and Calum Davidson in defence. AWAY WIN
