Hibernian v Dunfermline Athletic
This is the one-hundredth league meeting of the clubs and although Hibs haven't won any of the last four meetings, Colin Calderwood's side have showed a resurgence of late, with just two defeats in their last eight Clydesdale Bank Premier League fixtures.  Dunfermline meanwhile have lost seven of their last nine games and only avoided going bottom of the table last weekend by Motherwell's late winner at Inverness.  The East End Park side have appealed Gary Mason's red card against Dundee United last weekend.

Kilmarnock v Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Bottom side Caley Thistle played well last weekend despite losing to Motherwell and will look to continue that form against Killie, a team they've beaten in seven of the last eleven meetings.  Caley Thistle won the last meeting of the sides in August when Graeme Shinnie's last-minute goal won it for them.  Inverness C.T. have appealed Chris Hogg's red card that he picked up against Motherwell last Saturday.  Jonny Hayes could start for them after coming on as a sub against 'Well, while David Silva is in talks to extend his Rugby Park contract.  Last weekend's Tynecastle win made it three consecutive clean sheets for Kilmarnock.

Rangers v Dundee United
Rangers have won eleven of their last twelve Clydesdale Bank Premier League games, but they suffered a blow when Stevie Naismith was sidelined for the remainder of the season following his cruciate ligament injury at Pittodrie.  Kyle Lafferty's winner at Tannadice in August saw Rangers notch their 100th league win over the Tannadice side.  United's win at Ibrox in April is their only one in the last sixteen league meetings of the clubs.

St Mirren v Hearts
Hearts have won five of the last seven meetings of the sides, but they have won only two of their last six games.  Saints' form is little better - their win at Perth last weekend was only their second win in eight Clydesdale Bank Premier League games.  The home side's Ian Black starts a three-game suspension following his red card against Kilmarnock last weekend - his second of the season.

Motherwell v Celtic (Sunday)
Stakes are high in the 250th league meeting of the sides currently second and third in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.  Motherwell have a doubt over defender Stevie Hammell after his gashed shin and ankle injury which saw him stretchered off at Inverness last weekend.  Celtic still have skipper Scott Brown and defender Emilio Izaguirre sidelined while Glenn Loovens is out with a hamstring injury and Mo Bangura has a knee knock.  Celtic have won nine of the last ten meetings of the sides, scoring 22 goals on that run - but they've won only two of their last six league games and are currently twelve points adrift of leaders Rangers.

St Johnstone v Aberdeen (Monday)
Aberdeen have Ryan Jack serving the second game of his suspension but have appealed against Rory Fallon's red card against Rangers last weekend.  Rob Milsom is doubtful after he was injured by Stevie Naismith's tackle at Pittodrie last weekend, but 'keeper Jamie Langfield played in a midweek bounce game on his way back to fitness.  Frazer Wright is touch and go for Saints.  Aberdeen haven't won or scored in any of the last four meetings of the clubs - but they've failed to score in only one of their last seven matches.
