Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Hearts vs. Rangers

Celtic vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 12.15pm)

Celtic head into Saturday's encounter with Motherwell having already regained the Scottish Premiership title with a game to spare.

However, their opponents make the trip to Glasgow needing to record three points in order to guarantee a fourth-placed finish in the top-flight standings.

We say: Celtic 3-0 Motherwell

Given the distractions of Wednesday and this coming Saturday for the home side, Motherwell will sense an opportunity to post a rare win at Celtic Park. However, an early goal could make this game one-way traffic, something that we feel is realistic ahead of this fixture.

Hearts vs. Rangers (Saturday, 12.15pm)

Hearts and Rangers square off at Tynecastle on Saturday afternoon with their Scottish Premiership fixture acting as a dress rehearsal for next week's Scottish Cup final.

While Hearts have already sealed third position, runners-up Rangers are playing their final game before Wednesday's Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt.

We say: Hearts 1-1 Rangers

With future games in mind, there is every chance that there will be changes aplenty, although it is unclear which team will benefit from that. All things considered, we have to back a low-scoring draw, Hearts potentially netting a late equaliser when Rangers begin to think more about Wednesday night.

Ross County vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 12.15pm)

Dundee United are certain of a Europa League qualification spot as they currently sit fifth in the Scottish Premiership, four points clear of Saturday's hosts Ross County.

The home side have not won a match since the Scottish league was split into the Championship group and Relegation group, but will be hoping to end on a positive note on the final day of the season this weekend.

We say: Ross County 1-1 Dundee United

With little to play for on the final day for both of these sides, as United are already certain of a Europa League qualification spot, this encounter could be a slow affair.

The visitors have not scored many goals this season compared to the teams around them in the table, while Ross County will be looking to avoid defeat in front of their home crowd on the final day.
