Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic vs. Aberdeen

Celtic vs. Aberdeen (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Celtic will be confident of extending their nine-point lead at the summit of the Scottish Premiership table when struggling Aberdeen visit Parkhead on Saturday.

Having lost seven of their previous 10 Premiership games, seventh-placed Aberdeen find themselves 38 points behind Celtic, who have won 17 of their last 18 league outings.

We say: Celtic 4-0 Aberdeen

Having netted 78 goals in 25 league games this season, Celtic should secure another high-scoring victory over Aberdeen, who have the worst defensive record in the division.

Dundee Utd vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Dundee United welcome fellow Relegation Group position occupants St Johnstone to Tannadice Park on Saturday afternoon.

Liam Fox's side are languishing at the foot of the standings without a win in four matches across all competitions, while Saints sit in eighth position, only seven points above their impending hosts.

We say: Dundee United 0-2 St Johnstone

Undefeated in their previous six away head-to-head meetings across all competitions, we predict that St Johnstone will continue their recent historical bragging rights on Saturday afternoon and subsequently condemn Dundee United to another defeat in front of their concerned supporters.

Hibernian vs. Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hibernian will aim to extend their unbeaten streak in the Scottish Premiership to six games when they welcome relegation-threatened Kilmarnock to Easter Road on Saturday afternoon.

Following a run of four defeats in five league outings, Killie find themselves just two points clear of the bottom two - 11 points behind fifth-placed Hibs.

We say: Hibernian 2-0 Kilmarnock

Carrying a five-game unbeaten run into Saturday's clash, Hibernian should not struggle to claim all three points against Kilmarnock, who will have to wait for their first away league win of the season.

Only one team has scored fewer goals than Killie this term, while only one side has conceded more, so Hibs are expected to inflict a fifth defeat in six league matches on the East Ayrshire club.

Livingston vs. Rangers (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rangers will continue their pursuit of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race when they do battle with Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Second-placed Rangers find themselves nine points behind Celtic in the table, while fourth-placed Livingston trail Michael Beale's side by 26 points.

We say: Livingston 0-3 Rangers

According to the Scottish Premiership table, Livingston are the fourth-best team in the country right now, but there is no hiding the fact that Martindale's side are still miles behind Rangers.

Having won nine of their previous 10 league games, the Gers look destined to cruise to a comfortable victory over Livi, with the visitors expected to seal a high-scoring win while keeping a clean sheet.

St Mirren vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Mirren take on Ross County at the SMISA Stadium in the latest round of Scottish Premiership matches on Saturday afternoon.

Stephen Robinson's side are sitting in the final championship group position, while the Staggies are in 11th place with the disadvantage of playing one more game than last-placed Dundee United.

We say: St Mirren 2-0 Ross County

Without a victory on their 2022-23 Scottish Premiership travels since a 2-0 win over Hibernian on November 8, we predict St Mirren will extend Ross County's demoralising winless three-month tenure on Saturday afternoon.
