Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Scottish Premiership fixtures, including Rangers vs. Kilmarnock.

Two Scottish Premiership teams seeking to bounce back from opening-day defeats will lock horns on Saturday as Aberdeen play host to St Mirren at Pittodrie.

The Dons were defeated away against reigning champions Celtic, while the Buddies lost on home soil to St Johnstone.

We say: Aberdeen 2-1 St Mirren

Both teams will be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday after suffering defeat last time out, and they will view this fixture as a good opportunity to claim maximum points.

Aberdeen were unable to test Celtic last weekend, but we feel that their new-look side has enough quality to come out on top at Pittodrie, which would see St Mirren's unwanted away run against the Dons continue.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Motherwell will welcome St Johnstone to Fir Park for their first Scottish Premiership home fixture of the 2022-23 season on Saturday.

While the Steelmen secured maximum points away at St Mirren last weekend, the Saints suffered a narrow defeat on home soil to Hibernian.

We say: Motherwell 2-1 St Johnstone

There has been little to separate these two sides in recent meetings and another closely-fought contest is expected on Saturday.

Although St Johnstone came out on top the last time these two teams locked horns in March, we feel that Motherwell will do enough to secure all three points on home soil.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rangers vs. Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Seeking to bounce back from their midweek defeat in Europe, Rangers will welcome newly-promoted Kilmarnock to Ibrox for their first Scottish Premiership home match of the 2022-23 season on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be hoping to follow up last weekend's draw against Dundee United with another resilient performance in Glasgow.

We say: Rangers 2-0 Kilmarnock

The pressure will be on Rangers in front of a packed-out Ibrox to respond to their disappointing midweek defeat and claim maximum points in their first home game of the new season.

Kilmarnock will be keen to have their say in the contest, but we can see the hosts coming away with a routine victory in Glasgow.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Ross County vs. Celtic (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Scottish Premiership champions Celtic will make their first away trip of the 2022-23 campaign to the Global Energy Stadium to face Ross County on Saturday.

The Hoops claimed maximum points in their opening game against Aberdeen, while the Staggies were condemned to defeat away at Hearts.

We say: Ross County 0-2 Celtic

Ross County and Celtic head into Saturday's game off the back of contrasting league results last weekend, and the Hoops will be the strong favourites to claim maximum points in Dingwall.

Celtic have plenty of firepower at their disposal and we expect them to score at least a couple of goals to help maintain their 100% start to the new season.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
