St Johnstone v Dundee Utd


St Johnstone

Injuries - Croft
Suspended - Morris, Craig
Available squad - Mannus, Maybury, McCracken, MacKay, Anderson, Moon, Millar, Sheridan, Haber, Sandaza, Kane, Enckelman, Adams, Oyenuga, Keatings, M Davidson, Riordan, Moffat

Probable XI - Mannus, Maybury, McCracken, Anderson, MacKay, Moon, Millar, M. Davidson, Riordan, Sheridan, Sandaza (4-3-1-2)


Dundee Utd

Injuries - Kenneth, Lacny
Available Squad - Pernis, Dillon, Gunning, Watson, Neilson, Dixon, Douglas, Armstrong, Robertson, Ryan, Flood, Mackay-Steven, Rankin, Russell, Daly, Dow, Swanson, Banks

Probable XI - Pernis, Neilson, Dillon, Gunning, Dixon, Armstrong, Robertson, Rankin, Mackay-Steven, Russell, Daly (4-4-2)


Prediction : St Johnstone 1-2 Dundee Utd

4th against 5th here, I can see St Johnstone missing the suspended pair Morris and Craig and also injured Croft. These guys have been ever presents in the team this year so they may well struggle in midfield. I fancy Dundee Utd for an away win here but would advise taking the safety of DUNDEE UTD DNB @1.73 (Coral)

Hearts v Rangers


Hearts

Injuries - Hamill, Mrowiec
Available squad - MacDonald, McGowan, Zaliukas, Webster, Grainger, Prychynenko, Barr, Black, Santana, Driver, Skacel, Templeton, Beattie, Glen, Ridgers, Elliott, Novikovas, Robinson, Holt, Smith, Morton, Taouil

Probable XI - McDonald, McGowan, Zaliukas, Webster, Grainger, Driver, Black, Barr, Skacel, Templeton, Elliot (4-4-1-1)


Rangers

Injuries - Davies
Available Squad - McGregor, Papac, Bocanegra, Goian, Bartley, McCabe, McCulloch, Aluko, Edu, Kerkar, Lafferty, Little, Mitchell, Alexander, Perry, Healy, Bedoya, Whittaker, Wallace

Probable XI - McGregor, Whittaker, Bocanegra, Goin, Papac,  Aluko, Edu, McCulloch, McCabe, Lafferty, Healy (4-4-2)


Prediction : Hearts 1-1 Rangers

Hearts could be forgiven for taking things easy following making it to the cup final but I reckon getting 4th place in the league is still more than a possibility. Rangers squad really has been depleated and this week they are without their captain and probably their best player, Davies. The key for Hearts getting a result here will be keeping Aluko quiet, if they manage that they could pull off the win. But I think this is a good spot to LAY RANGERS @ around 2.3 (BETFAIR)

Inverness v Aberdeen

Inverness

Injuries - Esson, Hogg, A.Shinnie
Suspended - Tansey, G.Shinnie, Tokely,
Available squad - Tuffey, Golobart, Tansey, Foran, Tudur Jones, Tade, Gnakpa, Sutherland, McKay, Winnall, Ross, Proctor, Morrison, Williams, Mathieson, Meekings, Hayes, Doran, Gillet

Probable XI - Brown, Considine, Anderson, McArdle, Reynolds, Arnason, Rae, Jack, Fyvie, Fallon, Vernon (4-4-2)

Prediction : Inverness 0 -1 Aberdeen

Aberdeen look good value here, I fancy them to get revenge for their home defeat earlier on in the season. They will be hurting from getting knocked out of the cup but there is certainly value in an AWAY WIN @3.3 (Skybet)
