Celtic v Hamilton Academical
Celtic haven't lost to Hamilton at home since September 1938 but the clubs' last meeting was an incident-packed one, with three red cards and Celtic requiring Anthony Stokes' stoppage-time penalty to draw at New Douglas Park in January.  Neil Lennon has Beram Kayal available after the Israeli midfielder missed the league defeat at Motherwell last weekend through suspension and Fraser Forster and Joe Ledley are likely to return after missing the Cup game against Rangers in midweek.  Accies' defender Martin Canning, however, is suspended and both Marco Paixao and captain Alex Neil miss out because of injury.

Hearts v Kilmarnock
Hearts have injury-plagued defender Andy Webster doubtful after he was injured against Aberdeen last weekend.  Hearts' Ruben Palazuelos is suspended while Kilmarnock's Mohamadou Sissoko is also banned, but Hearts' Ian Black returns after his ban.  Both meetings of the sides this season have ended in away wins - for Hearts at Rugby Park in January and Killie at Tynecastle in October.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Motherwell
Motherwell follow their win over Celtic with a visit to one of their favourite grounds - the Steelmen have won on nine of their last thirteen visits to Inverness.  For Caley Thistle Graeme Shinnie is still sidelined while Aaron Doran is doubtful after being subbed with a hamstring injury during their midweek defeat against Dundee United.  Motherwell have skipper Stephen Craigan available after suspension but Stuart McCall must decide whether or not to recall him or fit-again Steven Saunders, who also missed the Celtic victory.

St Johnstone v Hibernian
Hibs go into the game in terrific form after five wins in succession but the Perth side have won three and drawn two of the last five games between the clubs.  Saints' stopper Michael Duberry is set to be missing for six weeks with a groin injury while Hibs 'keeper Graham Stack injured his shoulder against Hamilton and may also miss out.  Saints haven't won or scored in their last four games.

St Mirren v Rangers (Sunday)
Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty is out through suspension and Nikica Jelavic will be touch and go after missing the Scottish Cup game against Celtic with a hamstring injury.  Sasa Papac is also doubtful after being concussed at Parkhead, but Steven Whittaker, Madjid Bougherra and El Hadji Diouf will all be available despite their red cards against Celtic, and Steven Naismith will return after he missed the Parkhead trip.  St Mirren have Paul McGowan back after his ban, while Nick Hegarty is nearing a return after a broken ankle.  The teams met six times last season but this is only their second meeting of this Clydesdale Bank Premier League campaign.  Rangers have won nine and drawn one of the last ten meetings.

Dundee United v Aberdeen (Monday)
Chris Maguire serves the second game of his suspension for an Aberdeen side who are unbeaten in their last four games.  United have lost only two of their last 15 games and although this is the first of five home games for them, be wary of backing United - there's only been one home win in the last seven fixtures between the sides.  Garry Kenneth is still out injured for United but frontman Johnny Russell has extended his Tannadice deal until May 2014.
