Probable Starting XI - Forster, Mathews, Rogne, K Wilson, Mulgrew, Forrst, Wanyama, Ledley, Samaras, Hooper, Stokes (4-4-2)
Prediction : Aberdeen 1-2 Celtic
Tricky game for Celtic on what I imagine will be a bobbly pitch with half the beaches sand on it. Aberdeen have not actually been beaten since Christmas and have only conceded 5 goals this year. So it seems that old Craigy Broon has finally made his team solid enough. Will the Celtic players start to get a little complacent now that the league is over? Its a NO BET from me simply because Celtic are a rubbish price for what I see as a possible toughie. At first glance the Over 2.5 goals looked a gift but I will leave that alone just to be safe.

Prediction : Dunfermline 1-3 Motherwell
I can not believe my eyes at the odds here. OVER 2.5 goals @ 2.1 (Paddy Power) This seems to be an absolute steal given the free scoring football Motherwell are producing almost on a weekly basis. Bet of the year so far for me!

Probable Starting XI - Samson, Van Zanten, Naismith, Mair, Barron, Teale, Goodwin, Carey, Thompson, Hasselbank, Thomson (4-4-2)
Prediction : Hibs 1-0 St Mirren
Can't believe I'm saying this but Hibs have actually surprised me in the last couple of matches albiet I did back them to win last week. They were really unlucky losing to Motherwell in a great 4-3 match were they were in the lead and they were good value for their 3-1 win away at Kilmarnock last week. So have Hibs turned the circle? Yes, I think the new boss has finally weeded out the shite and brought in some of his players. St Mirren have drawn their last 4 league matches and only managed 2 goals so they are showing signs of struggling in my book. I think a HOME WIN @ 2.25 (William Hill) is on the cards here (unfortunately...)

Kilmarnock v St Johnstone
Kilmarnock
Injuries - none
Available Squad - Bell, Fowler, Sissoko, Nelson, Toshney, Gordon, Johnson, Kelly, Buijs, Hay, Harkins, Van Tornhout, Shiels, Dayton, Kennedy, Heffernan, Letheren, Kroca, Racchi, McKeown
Probable Starting XI - Bell, Fowler, sissoko, Nelson, Hay Harkins, Buijs, Dayton, Shiels, Heffernan (4-4-1-1)
St Johnstone
Injuries - Morris
Available Squad - Mannus, Mackay, McCracken, Wright, Hart, C Davidson, Millar, Croft, M Davidson, Craig, Sheridan, Haber, Sandaza, Enckelman, Maybury, Oyenuga, Mitchell, Keatings, Stewart
Probable Starting XI - Mannus, Mackay, McCracken, Wright, C. Davidson, Millar, Croft, M. Davidson, Craig, Sandaza, Sheridan (4-4-2)
Prediction : Kilmarnock 1-1 St Johnstone
Killie have shipped 7 goals in their last 2 games so I expect them to be a bit tighter at the back this week. They have suffered 2 bad defeats in a row and will be looking to hit back but St Johnstone will make it hard. A draw looks the likely outcome here but with no great confidence. NO BET

Rangers v Hearts

Injuries - Bartley, Lafferty, Whittaker, Naismith

Available Squad - MacDonald, Barr, Hamill, Grainger, McGowan, Webster, Zaliukas, Mrowiec, Robinson, Skacel, Novikovas, Elliott, Obua, Santana, Smith, Glen, Taouil, Driver, Ridgers, Holt, Beattie, Black
Probable Starting XI - McDonald, Grainger, Webster, Zaliukas, Hamill, Driver, Mrowiec, Black, Skacel, Robinson, Elliot, (4-5-1)
Prediction : Ranger 2-0 Hearts
Probably best taking a large slice of the HOME WIN @1.7 (Stan James). There is no doubt Rangers are really struggling this week (on the field I'm talking about) with Edu and Papac suspended and also Lee Wallace a slight doubt but I think this week they will get the win infront of 50,000 loyal fans that they were looking for 2 weeks ago versus Killie. Hearts are on a run of form that normally ends up with a new manager!!!! Hearts have only managed 1pt from the last 15pts available and now find themselves with a bit of a battle to stay in the top 6 come the split. Hearts have taken Beattie on loan and half of me thinks great as we only really had 1 striker but the other half of me knows he's unfit and not really the best!
I expect Hearts terrible away record to again be our down fall, just 2 away wins all season is tradgic!
