Celtic, aiming to rebound from their narrow first leg defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, will face an out-of-sorts Dundee United at Celtic Park on Saturday.

The hosts are top of the Scottish Premiership table by a significant 13 points, while the visitors are third but are in danger of being caught by those below them.

We say: Celtic 3-1 Dundee United


Celtic may rotate their side ahead of their Champions League second leg, but with a squad packed with talent, we still expect them to secure a comfortable victory over Dundee Utd.

Dundee, aiming to build on their Scottish Cup victory against Airdrieonians, will host struggling Aberdeen at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts are 10th in the table with 27 points from 25 matches, while the visitors are fourth in the standings with 35 points from their 25 games played.

We say: Dundee 1-1 Aberdeen


Both teams are enduring difficult periods heading into this match, which suggests a hard-fought encounter between the two, leading us to expect this one will end in a draw.

Two teams battling against relegation from the Scottish Premiership will come together on Saturday afternoon as Kilmarnock host bottom of the table St Johnstone.

The hosts are ninth in the table with 28 points from 25 matches, while the visitors are at the foot of the standings with 21 points from their 25 fixtures.

We say: Kilmarnock 2-1 St Johnstone


Kilmarnock may have faced their challenges this season, but their strong home form - losing only three of their 12 home fixtures - leads us to believe they will secure a victory here.

We say: Motherwell 2-1 Ross County


While Motherwell have struggled in recent weeks, they have been at their best at home - taking 18 of their 31 points at Fir Park - leading us to believe the hosts will win this one.
