"Another pivotal weekend of action in the Scottish Premiership awaits, with permutations at the top and bottom of the division. On Saturday, Celtic host Dundee United in their first match since Wilfried Nancy's sacking, in-form Hibernian take on high-flying Motherwell, the league's bottom two sides go head-to-head as Livingston face Kilmarnock, while St Mirren welcome Falkirk to Paisley. League-leaders Hearts go to Dundee on Sunday, before Aberdeen and Rangers meet for the second time in six days."
"Many eyes will understandably be drawn to Easter Road as probably the best footballing side in the country - Motherwell - go to Hibs, who have beaten Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and rivals Hearts in their past three outings. That is the match for the purists this weekend, but our focus is in West Lothian for the battle at the bottom as Livingston - without a win since August - host Kilmarnock, winless in their past 14 outings."
"Part of Barry Ferguson's coaching staff at Rangers last season, McCann's last spell as the main man in the dugout came at Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2021. Kilmarnock are already five points behind St Mirren in 10th and the League Cup winners have two games in hand to boot. It is difficult to see where a win comes from, if not at Livingston, who have won just once in the league all season."
Celtic host Dundee United in the first match since Wilfried Nancy's sacking. Hibernian, on a three-game winning run, face high-flying Motherwell at Easter Road. Livingston and Kilmarnock meet in a vital relegation battle; Livingston have not won since August and have only one league victory all season, while Kilmarnock are winless in 14 outings and sit five points adrift of 10th-placed St Mirren, despite two games in hand. Kilmarnock have appointed Neil McCann as permanent manager. St Mirren host Falkirk, Hearts travel to Dundee, and Aberdeen face Rangers for the second time in six days.
