Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Hearts
Hearts have won six of the last seven meetings of the sides, including coming from behind to win 3-1 on their last visit to Inverness in September.  Hearts will have skipper Marius Zaliukas back from suspension - but only for one game before the defender begins another ban.  Striker Kevin Kyle is out for the season following a hip operation.  Caley Thistle have Graeme Shinnie out for the season with a stomach injury and David Proctor (hamstring) and Dani Sanchez (hand) are expected to miss out.

Rangers v St Mirren
Rangers can go back to the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with a victory, though they'll have played a game more than Celtic.  Rangers have won the last seven SPL meetings of the sides - Saints haven't won since October 2008, though they did take the lead on their last visit to Ibrox through Graham Carey thirteen months ago.  Rangers have Steven Naismith missing through suspension while Hugh Murray and Michael Higdon miss out for Saints because of bans.

Hibernian v Hamilton Academical
Hibs have lost just once in their last nine games - against Celtic at Parkhead.  Accies have won two of the last five meetings of these sides but are twelve points adrift at the bottom and their survival prospects look bleak. They have Mark McLaughlin and Martin Canning available again after suspension but have announced strikers Damian Casalinuovo and Marco Paixao won't have their contracts renewed.
