Sunday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic vs. Dundee

Livingston vs. Aberdeen (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen will be looking to build on their midweek away victory in Europe with another three points in the Scottish Premiership when they travel to Livingston on Sunday afternoon.

The Dons won on the opening day of the new season, beating Dundee United, while the Lions suffered defeat to champions Rangers.

We say: Livingston 1-2 Aberdeen

Aberdeen struggled to score goals last season, but the additions of Ramirez and Emmanuel-Thomas has given them a greater threat in the final third and they should cause problems for Livingston on Sunday.

The hosts themselves are set to look more dangerous in attack, having failed to pose a threat against Rangers, however, we think that the Dons have enough quality in their side to secure a narrow away victory.

St Johnstone vs. Motherwell (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Two teams who failed to win on the opening day of the 2021-22 Scottish Premiership campaign lock horns on Sunday afternoon, as St Johnstone welcome Motherwell to McDiarmid Park.

Both sides claimed four points against each other across three league games last season, with the only encounter in Perth ending as a 1-1 draw.

We say: St Johnstone 1-0 Motherwell

At least two goals have been scored in eight of the last 11 meetings between the two sides, though we feel that a more cagey affair could be on the cards this weekend.

St Johnstone will head into this encounter as the slight favourites and although they will have one eye on Thursday's Europa League tie, they may just do enough to secure a narrow victory on home soil.

Celtic vs. Dundee (Sunday, 3.00pm)

With a full capacity crowd of around 60,000 fans expected at Parkhead on Sunday, Celtic will be hoping to reward their patience fans with all three points when they take on newly-promoted Dundee in the Scottish Premiership.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to take advantage of the host's inconsistent run of form and claim their first victory against them since May 2001.

We say: Celtic 3-1 Dundee

Postecoglou will need time to formulate his strongest starting lineup and for his new signings to gel, if Celtic are to mould into a competitive force for this season.

Defensive frailties are a concern for the Hoops and we fancy Dundee to score on Sunday, however the hosts should have the firepower up front to record their first league victory of the campaign.

Hibernian vs. Ross County (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Hibernian will be hoping to claim their second successive Scottish Premiership win of the new campaign when they welcome Ross County to Easter Road on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts have scored nine goals in their four competitive matches so far this season, while the Staggies failed to have a single shot on target in their opening league game.

We say: Hibernian 2-0 Ross County

Hibernian may have lost on home soil against Ross County last season, but Ross will be confident that his side can get the job done on Sunday.

The Staggies failed to pose any threat going forward last weekend and we cannot see them causing too many problems at Easter Road, with the hosts set to claim a routine win in front of their own fans.
