Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic vs. Kilmarnock

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


Aberdeen vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both teams will be hoping to end lengthy winless streaks when Aberdeen host Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

The two sides have an identical record after playing 24 games apiece, having amassed 26 points by scoring 29 goals and conceding 39.

We say: Aberdeen 2-2 Hibernian


With both teams boasting identical records after 24 games of the season, this should be a closely-fought affair. Warnock and Montgomery will be relishing going up against each other after spending several years together at Sheff Utd.

Both sides have outside relegation fears, but in reality, they should have more than enough quality to survive. We are predicting an entertaining draw at Pittodrie on Saturday.

Celtic vs. Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Celtic will be aiming to move three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table when they host Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Kilmarnock, meanwhile, could be leapfrogged by St Mirren into fourth spot if they fail to pull off an upset at Celtic Park.

We say: Celtic 2-0 Kilmarnock


Celtic will be determined to restore their three-point lead ahead of Rangers, who do not play until Sunday, and we expect them to do so with a routine home win here.

Kilmarnock have been one of the surprise packages in Scotland this season and it is unlikely that they will simply roll over without a fight, but they are lacking individual quality to take the game to Rodgers's side.

Dundee vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Dundee welcome relegation-threatened Ross County to Dens Park for a Scottish Premiership clash on Saturday.

The visitors are in the process of hiring a new name in the dugout after Derek Adams offered his resignation two weeks ago, with the club still occupying the relegation playoff place.

We say: Dundee 2-0 Ross County


With Ross County hopelessly out of form, a change of management still may not be enough for them to claim anything from this encounter.

A well-timed win last weekend kept Dundee in the top six after a brief spell without one, and they will be confident of keeping yet another clean sheet against County and taking three points in the process.

Hearts vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hearts will be aiming to extend their winning streak to six league games when they host Motherwell on Saturday.

However, the visitors will arrive to the capital on a six-match unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership.

We say: Hearts 2-1 Motherwell


Hearts have been on a tremendous run in recent months, collecting 25 points from a possible 27 in their last nine league outings. They will be confident of stretching their winning streak on Saturday.

However, Motherwell are tough to beat, with only Rangers getting the better of them across their last nine matches. We can envisage them giving it a good go against their third-placed opposition, but tiredness could count against them after their midweek involvements.

Livingston vs. St Mirren (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Livingston will be aiming to end a winless run of 17 matches in the Scottish Premiership when they host St Mirren on Saturday.

The visitors, on the other hand, could move up to fourth in the table if they can win their third successive league game.

We say: Livingston 0-2 St Mirren


Livingston's comeback against Partick in the Scottish Cup last weekend may provide some hope of them surviving relegation this season, but St Mirren will provide much stiffer opposition than a Championship side.

The visitors have won their last two matches without conceding a goal, and we expect them to move into fourth position by claiming a third consecutive victory against their rock-bottom opponents.
