Aberdeen vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen will be looking to make it five straight wins in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, when they host Motherwell at Pittodrie.
The visitors, meanwhile, have also made a strong start to the season, as they sit in fifth place and level on points with Rangers.
We say: Aberdeen 2-1 Motherwell
Aberdeen have started the season in superb form, and on home soil it would be a surprise if they were to falter here, but Motherwell themselves have also demonstrated that they are a capable outfit.
A tight game is expected, but we think the Dons will just manage to take all three points over the Steelmen and make it five straight league wins to start the campaign.

Celtic vs. Hearts (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Celtic are unbeaten in all competitions since March, and they will also look to continue their impressive run in the Scottish Premiership when they host Hearts on Saturday.
While Hearts are the last team to have defeated Celtic, the visitors are yet to taste victory in their seven games so far this season.
We say: Celtic 3-0 Hearts
While Hearts did beat Celtic twice last season, their current form is a huge concern, and it would be a surprise to see anything other than a convincing home win.
The Hoops are in great form and are playing some sensational football, and while we expect them to make it five wins from five in the league this Saturday, they could have one eye on their Champions League opener in midweek.

Hibernian vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hibernian will go in search of their first league win of the season when they host St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
The visitors are in up and down form themselves though, and they only won four of their 19 away games in the league last season.
We say: Hibernian 1-1 St Johnstone
It is a tough ask to separate two teams that have both started the season with much room for improvement, and while St Johnstone come into Saturday's game on the back of three straight defeats, Hibs do not look as though they are in the best place to capitalise on this.

Struggling Ross County host undefeated Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, when a win for the away side could see them climb into the top three.
The hosts meanwhile have only scored once in their four league games so far, and they could end the day bottom of the table if other results also go against them.
We say: Ross County 1-2 Dundee
Ross County have made a poor start to their campaign, and while they could be buoyed by their resilient display in the recent home defeat against Aberdeen, Dundee have been impressive going forward so far this season, and we expect them to continue this run of scoring form with a narrow away win.

Seventh-placed St Mirren host a Kilmarnock side that are rooted to the bottom of the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, when a win for the hosts could see them climb above the likes of Rangers and Motherwell.
The two sides are on a winless run, though, and both have also been eliminated from the Europa Conference League in the play-off round to compound what has been a difficult start.
We say: St Mirren 1-1 Kilmarnock
Although Kilmarnock have made a poor start to their campaign, their three wins out of four against St Mirren last season could count for something, along with the fact that the home side are also looking for their first win over Killie in 10 games.
That being said, it would be a surprise if the away side were to leave St Mirren with all three points in the bag, so a draw could be on the cards here.
