Expect easy wins for Celtic and Rangers
With Rangers boosted by a Champions League victory and Celtic still yet to drop a single point, there won't be too much joy for their opponents this weekend...
Hearts v Rangers (11.45pm, ESPN)
The weekend's big clash sees inconsistent Hearts entertain Rangers. With neither the Gers or their great rivals Celtic having slipped up yet, Hearts will find no mercy here, especially with Rangers brimming with confidence after their Champions League victory over Bursaspor. Rangers are a tempting [1.67] to claim all three points.
Celtic v Hamilton
Hamilton have responded well after a slow start but their progress is likely to be halted when they visit Parkhead, as they've picked up just a point so far away from home. The Bhoys are priced at [1.2] to win, though if you expect an upset Hamilton's odds are a lengthy [21.0].
Inverness CT v Aberdeen
Sixth plays seventh with the only thing separating them in the table being goals scored. Terry Butcher's Inverness have held their own this season and are slight favourites at [2.64]. This one will be close though and backing the draw at [3.4] maybe the way forward.
Kilmarnock v Dundee United
Last week's draw at Hamilton halted a promising run for Kilmarnock that including wins away to Aberdeen and at home against St Mirren and a narrow defeat to Celtic. They may struggle to get back on track against improving Dundee United, who are marginal favourites at [2.56].
Motherwell v St Mirren
Motherwell have enjoyed a fairly decent start to the season and find themselves in third place. Three wins and a draw from their last four see them priced at [1.71] and they should be too strong for bottom of the pile St Mirren, who are rated at [6.0] to pull off a surprise win.
St Johnstone v Hibernian
Struggling St Johnstone host a Hibs side who aren't faring so well themselves. St Johnstone's win over St Mirren two weeks ago was the first time they had picked up points since the opening day of the season, while Hibs haven't won since then either. Hibs' lack of form sees them offered at [3.4], but the draw may be the best bet at [2.48].
