Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Celtic
Caley Thistle  have won only one of the 17 league meetings of the sides - when they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in December 2007.  But Celtic themselves came from behind to win the last meeting of the clubs - in the Scottish Cup in Inverness on March 16 - and Inverness CT have won only one of their last five matches.  Defender Daniel Majstorovic is suspended for Celtic.

Motherwell v Aberdeen
Statistics rule in this one - Motherwell haven't lost any of the last six games between the sides, but haven't won any of the last four games against the Dons at Fir Park.  Jamie Murphy has been on target in both their games against Aberdeen this season and was on the mark again in the midweek Cup win over Dundee United.  Zander Diamond is suspended for the Dons, while midfielder Steve Jennings begins a three-game ban for Motherwell, who have Steven Saunders and Stevie Hammell doubtful.

Rangers v Dundee United
199th meeting of the clubs - but only the second of this season after six last term (Rangers won three, drew two and lost in the Scottish Cup last March).  Rangers are unbeaten in the last twelve Clydesdale Bank Premier League meetings of the teams - Barry Robson scored the winner the last time United triumphed, at Tannadice in October 2007.  Rangers have fitness doubts about Irish pair Kyle Lafferty and Steven Davis after they'd to withdraw from the Northern Ireland squad for the Euro qualifier against Slovenia in midweek.  United still have Garry Kenneth unavailable but Scott Severin is approaching fitness.  They'll want to bounce back after their midweek Cup defeat at Motherwell - their first loss in nine games.

St Johnstone v Kilmarnock
Liam Craig has signed a new two-year deal with St Johnstone and Manuel Pascali starts a two-match ban for Killie but they have Frazer Wright available after suspension.  Killie have won five of the last seven meetings of the sides and are the Clydesdale Bank SPL's draw dodgers - they've won four and lost three of their last seven. Saints by comparison have drawn four of their last five matches.

St Mirren v Hamilton Academical
A crunch battle at the bottom and Accies have Dougie Imrie, Mark McLaughlin and Simon Mensing suspended although Martin Canning is available.  The last three meetings of the sides have ended drawn, including the Paisley game in October when St Mirren came from two down to draw 2-2.  Hamilton haven't lost more than two goals in a league game since losing at Ibrox in January but they need something from the game against a side six points ahead of them with a game in hand.  Saints have won only one of their last six games.

Hibernian v Hearts (Sunday)
Hibs haven't had a competitive game since March 5 and attempt to stop a run which has seen their capital rivals win the last four Edinburgh derbies.  However Colin Calderwood's side haven't lost in their last six games.  Hearts striker Callum Elliot is out for the rest of the year after a knee operation but Kevin Kyle could return before the end of the season following a hernia op.  Tynecastle pair Eggert Jonsson and Adrian Mrowiec are suspended for what's likely to be the usual keenly-contested derby.
