Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Scottish Premiership fixtures, including Celtic vs. Hearts.

Celtic play host to Hearts on Saturday afternoon looking for the win that will move them a step closer to defending their Scottish Premiership title.

Meanwhile, Hearts make the trip to Glasgow eager to strengthen their hold of third position in the standings after an impressive campaign.

We say: Celtic 2-0 Hearts


Games such as this one mean that Celtic will not get carried away in the title race, and it should sharpen their focus. Hearts have the qualities to earn a result at Celtic Park, yet we feel that the leaders will produce one of their most professional performances of the campaign to seal three points.

Two sides looking to bring an end to winless streaks come face to face on Saturday afternoon as Dundee host St Mirren at the Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park in the second of five matches in the post-split phase of the Scottish Premiership.

The two teams trail fourth-placed Kilmarnock by 11 and nine points respectively, leaving little room for error if either are to catch up and qualify for European football.

We say: Dundee 1-2 St Mirren


The hosts have only won once in the past six meetings between these two sides, albeit a 4-0 thrashing in November last year, and St Mirren showed complete dominance in the last matchup as they won 2-0, taking 19 shots to Dundee's four.

We believe the visitors will show that superiority once again in this one, as we expect them to go on and win the match.

Aberdeen and St Johnstone come together on Saturday afternoon at the Pittodrie Stadium with both teams looking to ensure their survival in the Scottish Premiership before the end of the season.

The hosts come into this match on the back of five league games without defeat, while the visitors have lost four of their last five.

We say: Aberdeen 2-0 St Johnstone


The hosts have seen a major improvement in performances and results over the past weeks, securing vital points while keeping impressive clean sheets, and that has been even more apparent in their home fixtures.

They have lost just two of their last 11 games in front of their own crowd, with one of those being a penalty defeat to Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final, and we believe that positive run will continue with a victory here.

Motherwell vs. Livingston (Saturday, 3.00pm)

It is a crucial game for Livingston this weekend as they could be relegated from the Scottish Premiership depending on results.

They travel to face Motherwell in a game of high importance at the bottom end of the table.

We say: Motherwell 1-2 Livingston


It is set to be a game fuelled by emotions, and with so much on the line for Livingston, there is no doubt that they will be giving everything they have in this one.

Considering their positive performance last weekend the Lions should head into the game with confidence that could lead to them getting another victory.

Ross County's fight for survival in the Scottish Premiership will continue this Saturday as they host Hibernian.

Following the league split, the visitors are currently at the top of the bottom section of the table, a position they will aim to retain until the end of the campaign.

We say: Ross County 0-2 Hibernian


Ross County might need the points more than their opponents considering the league table, the difference in quality could be too much his weekend.

Hibernian have been far stronger throughout the season, and the visitors will be confident of achieving three points here.
