Prediction : Celtic 3-0 Dunfermline

Celtic are destroying teams at the moment, they can't be touched. Feel sorry for Dunfermline but really would be shock of the season if they are to get anything from this game. Land-slide at Parkhead, another party for their fans who are just loving life at the moment, for obvious reasons!

Suggest a Celtic clean sheet @ 1.73

Prediction  : Motherwell 2-0 Hibs

Would not surprise me if Hibs have a keeper change for this match as Stack was appalling on the weekend, certainly being responsible for 2 of the 5 goals he conceded. Hibs are in serious transition at the moment which on the face of it is absolutely ridiculous situation to be in as they are in a straight fight with Dunfermline for premier survival. The new manager is still finding out how bad most of his players are and his new additions have not hit the ground running anyway. Any improvement that Hibs were showing were brought back down to earth with a thud at the weekend there.

Motherwell hammered Hearts if I'm honest at the weekend and really showed who is 3rd best (if not 2nd best) in the league. Just can see them not getting goals in every match they play and with the very weak Hibs defence I can see them at least getting a couple if not a rout. Snap up the HOME WIN @ 1.75 (William Hill)
