High-flying Rangers travel to Tayside this Sunday for a lunchtime clash with Dundee United, with Steven Gerrard's team going in search of their eighth straight clean sheet in the league.

Dundee United have been embroiled in some COVID-19 related controversy over the last couple of weeks, with manager Micky Mellon having been in isolation. Whether Mellon returns to the dugout this weekend is yet to be confirmed.

We say: Dundee United 0-3 Rangers

We predict that Rangers will continue their current indomitable run and produce a convincing 3-0 victory for their fans to savour at Tannadice on Sunday.

There is simply too much attacking power in this Rangers team for United to cope with, while the disruption to preparation caused by Mellon's absence is an added distraction that will not help the home side.

Our tipster partners are predicting that at least one team will not score (BTTS - no).

Celtic vs. Kilmarnock (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Neil Lennon's Celtic welcome Kilmarnock to the east end of Glasgow on Sunday, with the home side in desperate need of points if they want to catch Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Killie are surely travelling in hope rather than expectation as the Ayrshire side have lost 30 of their last 37 away games at Celtic in all competitions.

We say: Celtic 1-1 Kilmarnock

We are backing Killie to come away from Parkhead with a well-earned point this weekend, after holding the Celts to a 1-1 draw.

Celtic may have managed to win in midweek, but their domestic form has been really poor in recent weeks as pressure on Lennon mounts.

We expect the men from Rugby Park to add to that pressure after frustrating the Celts with a resilient display that is sure to lead to more discontent from the Celtic fans.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
