Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Rangers vs. St Johnstone

Aberdeen vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen will welcome Motherwell to Pittodrie for their Scottish Premiership encounter on Saturday afternoon.

Both sides have claimed three points from their opening two league matches but they experienced contrasting results last weekend, with the Dons beating St Mirren and the Steelmen losing out to St Johnstone.

We say: Aberdeen 2-1 Motherwell

While Aberdeen have struggled in recent encounters against Motherwell, they head into Saturday's contest off the back of a comfortable win last weekend and will be hoping to claim another three points on home soil.

Motherwell will fancy their chances of success at Pittodrie, but we can see Goodwin's new-look side edging out the Steelmen on this occasion.

Livingston vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Seeking to maintain their unbeaten start in the Scottish Premiership, Hibernian travel to the Toni Macaroni Stadium to face Livingston on Saturday.

The hosts, meanwhile, will be looking to claim back-to-back top-flight victories following their slender win over Dundee United last weekend.

We say: Livingston 1-1 Hibernian

Both sides will be in high spirits heading into Saturday's Premiership fixture and will fancy their chances of claiming maximum points.

However, a closely-fought contest between two evenly-matched teams is set to take place in West Lothian and they may be forced to settle for a score draw on this occasion.

Rangers vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rangers will be looking to follow up their impressive comeback win in Europe by securing all three points in the Scottish Premiership when they welcome St Johnstone to Ibrox on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be aiming to secure back-to-back away victories in the top flight after claiming maximum points at Motherwell last weekend.

We say: Rangers 2-0 St Johnstone

Rangers were initially frustrated by both Livingston and Kilmarnock in their opening two league fixtures before eventually coming away with maximum points on both occasions.

A resilient performance is required from St Johnstone if they are to keep the Gers quiet this weekend, but we feel that the hosts will have too much quality in attack for the visitors and should do enough to maintain their 100% start to the new Premiership season.

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

St Mirren will welcome Ross County to Paisley for their third Scottish Premiership fixture of the new season on Saturday.

Both sides are yet to claim any points from their opening two matches and have conceded five goals each in two successive defeats.

We say: St Mirren 1-1 Ross County

Both St Mirren and Ross County will view Saturday's fixture as a good opportunity to register their first victory of the new campaign.

However, with little to separate the two sides, a score draw could be on the cards at the SMiSA Stadium.
