Scottish Premiership predictions - Week 17

Published 1 week ago

David Gray has seen Hibs win just one of their last 10 games in the Scottish Premiership.

- Celtic and Rangers meet in the Scottish League Cup final
- Dundee United hoping to move five points clear of Motherwell
- Hibernian looking to leapfrog rivals Hearts at the foot of the table

With Celtic and Rangers facing each other in the Scottish League Cup final this week, the spotlight will be on the remaining teams in the Scottish Premiership.

Aberdeen and Dundee get the weekend off, but there are still four games on the schedule, with three pencilled in for Saturday and one tie on the cards on Sunday.

Tom Hill has correct score picks for all four Scottish Premiership matches.

Hibernian vs Ross County (Saturday, 3pm)

Both Hibernian and Ross County were beaten 3-0 last time out, with Celtic beating the Hibees, while Rangers proved too strong for County.

Hibs are bottom of the table, having collected 12 points from 16 games. David Gray's team have failed to win any of their last five at home, but they face a County side who have lost three of their previous four games.

They have also failed to score in their last four away from home, so they may come unstuck in Saturday's encounter.

Score prediction: Hibernian 1-0 Ross County

Motherwell vs Dundee United (Saturday, 3pm)

Only two points separate Motherwell and Dundee United ahead of Saturday's encounter at Fir Park.

The Steelmen recorded a 1-0 win over St Mirren in their last encounter, ending a run of three-straight defeats in the Scottish Premiership.

Visitors United have not lost any of their last five in the Scottish Premiership, including a 1-1 draw against Rangers at Ibrox.

Jim Goodwin's outfit have only lost one of their last five on their travels of late, so they can pick up another positive result this weekend.

Score prediction: Motherwell 0-1 Dundee United

St Johnstone vs St Mirren (Saturday, 3pm)

St Johnstone have only won one of their last six in the league ahead of Saturday's battle against St Mirren.

The Saints have won two of their last four at home and they kept clean sheets in both of those encounters.

The Buddies have lost their last two games without scoring, while they have only won one of their 10 away matches this season.

Score prediction: St Johnstone 1-0 St Mirren

Kilmarnock vs Hearts (Sunday, 3pm)

Two teams at the wrong end of the table will meet at the BBSP Stadium Rugby Park on Sunday, with Kilmarnock hosting Hearts.

Only one point separates the two sides, with Killie one place and one point above the Jambos.

Killie are winless in six matches, while Hearts have won one of their last seven in all competitions.

The Edinburgh outfit were in action in the Conference League on Thursday, so tiredness could be an issue.

Score prediction: Kilmarnock 1-1 Hearts
