In this midweek Scottish Premiership clash, we’ll take a closer look at the matchups set to unfold on Wednesday, including Celtic vs. St Mirren, Dundee vs. Rangers, Hearts vs. Livingston, Motherwell vs. Aberdeen, and St Johnstone vs. Kilmarnock.
Let’s dive into the predictions for these exciting encounters.
Celtic vs. St Mirren (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Celtic is determined to recover from a disappointing weekend draw and extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table when they welcome St Mirren to Parkhead.
After a draw against Hibernian, Celtic remains five points ahead of their rivals. On the other hand, St Mirren, who recently returned to winning ways, sits third.
- Prediction: Celtic 2-0 St Mirren
While St Mirren has displayed quality throughout the season, Parkhead might prove too challenging for them. Expect Celtic to outclass their opponents and secure all three points at home.
Dundee vs. Rangers (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Rangers aim to narrow the gap with Celtic at the top by visiting Dens Park to take on Dundee.
After a dramatic comeback victory, Rangers now trail Celtic by five points, while Dundee climbed to fifth place with a weekend win.
- Prediction: Dundee 0-2 Rangers
Although Dundee has been resilient this season, Rangers, under Clement’s management, possess the quality to break through and claim a victory on Wednesday.
Hearts vs. Livingston (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Hearts are eager to end their three-game winless streak when they host Livingston in the Scottish Premiership fixture on Wednesday night.
Livingston, currently just a point above the relegation zone, faces pressure to secure points.
- Prediction: Hearts 1-1 Livingston
Both teams have lacked confidence recently, and this might lead to a cautious game. Expect them to play out to a draw, as both sides desperately need points.
Motherwell vs. Aberdeen (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Aberdeen heads into Wednesday on the back of four winless matches, barely above the relegation zone. Motherwell, ending their four-game losing streak with a draw, seeks to continue improving.
- Prediction: Motherwell 2-1 Aberdeen
Both teams need a win, and Motherwell’s strong attacking qualities at home could give them the edge.
St Johnstone vs. Kilmarnock (Wednesday, 7.45pm)
Struggling St Johnstone seeks their first victory of the Scottish Premiership campaign at home against Kilmarnock, who have picked up consecutive wins to climb to fourth.
- Prediction: St Johnstone 0-2 Kilmarnock
Despite the home advantage, St Johnstone might find it tough against Kilmarnock, who are in good form and looking to move up the table.
