Falkirk v Hamilton
Two of the previous meetings between the sides this season have been drawn, with Falkirk winning the other meeting in November. Falkirk have lost only two games in their last six, while Accies have lost only one of their last nine and have scored seven goals in their last two games. Bairns striker Carl Finnigan is doubtful after being injured minutes after going on as a sub at Pittodrie last week. Accies’ Brian Easton remains doubtful and ‘keeper Tomas Cerny has been treated all week after being subbed last week against Kilmarnock.

Hearts v Motherwell
Motherwell have won two and lost one of the meetings this season – the Tynecastle defeat in December was Craig Brown's first game in charge. Hearts have defender Eggert Jonsson suspended after his red card against Rangers but skipper Michael Stewart could start after making his first appearance in two months as a sub at Ibrox last weekend. Motherwell skipper Stephen Craigan is a doubt after limping off in the 3-2 defeat by Dundee United last weekend – however they could have John Ruddy back in goal.

St Johnstone v Aberdeen
This will be the 101st league meeting of the clubs – Aberdeen won 41 of the first 100 but have lost the last two, most recently on April 11. Aberdeen‘s win over Falkirk last weekend was only their second win in 16 games. Dons’ Charlie Mulgrew is suspended, as is Saints’ scorer from last weekend Michael Duberry. Aberdeen’s Gary McDonald is struggling with a hamstring injury while Peter Pawlett (knee) and Andy Considine (hip) are long-term absentees. Saints hope to have Peter MacDonald (knee) and Steven Milne (hamstring) back available.

St Mirren v Kilmarnock
150th league meeting of the sides and there hasn't been more than a goal between the teams in the last twelve meetings - five of those have been drawn, including the 1-1 at Rugby Park in February. Kilmarnock have Kevin Kyle back after a two-game ban while Saints’ Jack Ross is out for the remainder of the season.

Dundee United v Celtic (Sunday)
United's win against Celtic through Darren Dods' late goal at Tannadice in November was their first in sixteen home meetings of the sides. Five of the last eight games have been drawn. United are undefeated in eleven games - since they lost to Celtic in February. Celtic have won their last four league games and are hopeful Darren O’Dea, who’s been playing with a thigh injury, will be fit to play as defenders Glenn Loovens, Thomas Rogne and Jos Hooiveld remain sidelined.

Hibernian v Rangers (Sunday)
Hibs haven't beaten Rangers at Easter Road in Gers' last nine visits and the Edinburgh club have won only one of their last eight games. Rangers in contrast have lost only one of their last 23 league games and could wrap up the title this weekend. Kris Boyd continues to search for his 100th SPL goal for Rangers after eight league games without a goal. Hibs’ Liam Miller is back after suspension but Sol Bamba starts the first of a three-game ban. John Hughes is hopeful of having Chris Hogg and Patrick Cregg back after injury.
