Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic vs. St Mirren

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

Third takes on fourth in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday lunchtime as Aberdeen travel to Tynecastle to lock horns with Hearts.

While the hosts have lost three of their last four league matches on home soil, the visitors are seeking to avoid back-to-back defeats on the road.

We say: Hearts 1-1 Aberdeen


The home side have won each of the last five meetings between Hearts and Aberdeen, which bodes well for the former who need to claim maximum points to boost their hopes of securing third place.

However, a tighter affair could be in store this time around and with little to separate the two teams, a score draw may be played out at Tynecastle.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Celtic vs. St Mirren (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fresh from their first Scottish Premiership defeat for nearly eight months, champions Celtic will look to return to winning ways when they welcome St Mirren to Parkhead on Saturday.

While the Hoops boast an impressive unbeaten home record in the top flight, winning 16 of their 17 matches on their own turf, the Buddies have only won three of their 17 away games so far this season.

We say: Celtic 3-1 St Mirren


Although champions Celtic are solely playing for pride heading into the final few games of the season, they are still the firm favourites to come out on top this weekend.

St Mirren know what it takes to beat the Hoops having already done so earlier this campaign, but Postecoglou's side should have few problems in brushing aside their Paisley-based counterparts this time around.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Kilmarnock vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Kilmarnock host St Johnstone at Rugby Park on Saturday in a relegation six-pointer in the Scottish Premiership.

Despite both starting the weekend outside the bottom two, the two clubs are both still embroiled in the fight at the bottom.

We say: Kilmarnock 1-1 St Johnstone


Kilmarnock often get all their points at home while St. Johnstone are usually better on the road, so there is not much to separate these two relegation candidates.

In the three meetings between the sides this season, there is nothing to separate them, with a win apiece and a draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Livingston vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Bottom-of-the-table Dundee United travel to the Tony Macaroni Arena to face Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Defeat to fellow close rivals Ross County last week saw Jim Goodwin's side slip into the sole automatic relegation spot last weekend.

We say: Livingston 1-2 Dundee United


Livingston are struggling for form with nothing left to play for, and they have struggled in their encounters with Dundee United this season.

A 2-0 win over Livingston for Goodwin's men just last month should give a struggling United a boost ahead of a game they really must win.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Motherwell vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Motherwell welcome a Ross County side in danger of relegation to Fir Park on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership.

Excellent recent form means Motherwell are comfortably safe, but the visitors are still deep in trouble.

We say: Motherwell 2-0 Ross County


Motherwell have been cruising to victories ever since Kettlewell took charge, with only the top three amassing more points in that time.

Despite good form of their own, Ross County may struggle to deal with the likes of Van Veen and Mikael Mandron in attack for a side who are flying at the moment.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
