Celtic vs. Dundee Utd (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Celtic, aiming to further extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, are set to take on high-flying Dundee United at Celtic Park on Wednesday night.

The hosts are top of the table with 53 points from their opening 20 matches of the campaign, while the visitors are third in the standings with 34 points from 21 games.

We say: Celtic 2-1 Dundee United

The hosts have lost just one of their last 36 domestic matches, and while Dundee Utd are enjoying a strong season, Celtic are undoubtedly the favourites to secure the win here, and we expect them to do just that.

Kilmarnock vs. Motherwell (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Relegation-threatened Kilmarnock are set to take on top-six contenders Motherwell at Rugby Park in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night.

The hosts are 10th in the table with 24 points from their first 22 games played, while the visitors are fifth in the standings with 30 points from 21 matches.

We say: Kilmarnock 1-2 Motherwell

Kilmarnock are enjoying an improved run of results in recent weeks, but Motherwell's 2-0 victory against Aberdeen will boost their confidence heading into this one, leading us to believe the visitors will win here.
