Celtic v Rangers (Tues)
None of the last six meetings of the sides have been separated by more than a goal and Celtic haven't beaten their Glasgow rivals in the last three meetings. The last Celtic player to score an SPL winner against Rangers – Scott McDonald in December 2008 – is no longer at the club. Both sides rested key players at the weekend – Rangers left McGregor, McCulloch, Whittaker, Davis, Miller and Lafferty out of their 2-1 win at Tannadice while Celts left Robbie Keane and Diomansay Kamara on the bench for the 4-0 win over Motherwell. Rangers have Kevin Thomson - who was injured inside half-an-hour on Saturday - struggling, Madjid Bougherra out and Sasa Papac suspended.

Aberdeen v Kilmarnock
Aberdeen will be without Zander Diamond and Ricky Foster after their red cards against Hamilton on Saturday but they have Darren Mackie back after suspension. Honours are even between the sides this season - a win apiece and a draw in their three meetings. Killie haven't won in their last eight visits to Pittodrie and their away form is wretched, with just four goals in 18 Clydesdale Bank Premier League games this season.  They also have defender Tim Clancy suspended.

Falkirk v St Johnstone
A win for Falkirk would set them up for a last-day showdown with Kilmarnock but they'll be missing striker Carl Finnigan who has an ankle injury. Saints are battling it out with Hamilton to see who finishes top of the bottom six and have lost only one of their last six games. It's the 99th league meeting of the sides with Saints leading with 44 wins. They're unbeaten against Steven Pressley's side this season with two victories and a draw.

Hamilton v St Mirren
Gus MacPherson has Lee Mair back from a ban but on-form Accies have been a hoodoo side for St Mirren - the Paisley team haven't scored in their last five games against them. Both Paixao brothers have scored in the wins over St Mirren this season. Accies have lost only one of their last 11 games - and that was a narrow defeat to champions Rangers.

Hearts v Dundee United
United have Michael Kovacevic back after suspension but Margaro Gomis serves the first of a two-game ban that could jeopardize his Cup Final spot. Hearts have Eggert Jonsson back from a ban but Laryea Kingston and David Obua are suspended. Hearts still have faint hopes of a fourth spot finish but would need to win their last two games and hope Hibs and Motherwell slip up. There have been 150 league meetings of the sides, with Hearts just ahead with 62 wins. However they've failed to score in the three meetings this season and have taken only one point from the games.

Motherwell v Hibernian
Hibs have Sol Bamba suspended but Kevin McBride and Darren McCormack are back from suspension. Motherwell have midfielder Steve Jennings suspended. A 'Well win would guarantee them fourth spot and a Europa League place - and struggling Hibs have lost their last six games. John Hughes' side's win at home to 'Well in December was their 100th league win over the Lanarkshire side and also their first victory in the last four home games against them. But Motherwell, who are again likely to be without Keith Lasley, have won only one of their last five meetings with the Edinburgh side.
