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

Reigning champions Celtic will look to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table when they welcome Motherwell to Parkhead on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors, meanwhile, are hoping to avoid extending their winless run to 10 matches by pulling off an almighty upset in Glasgow.

We say: Celtic 4-0 Motherwell


It is difficult to predict anything other than a Celtic victory here, although the 0-0 draws played out with St Johnstone and Hibernian earlier this season will provide a glimmer of hope for Motherwell.

Nevertheless, the Steelmen head to Parkhead in dismal form and they will likely struggle to keep a rampant Celtic side, who have already scored 34 league goals in 13 matches this season, quiet on home soil.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Two teams pushing to break into the top four of the Scottish Premiership will meet on Saturday as Dundee hosts Hibernian in their latest league fixture.

The hosts have enjoyed consecutive victories heading into this match, but a defeat this weekend would see the visitors overtake them in the table.

We say: Dundee 2-0 Hibernian


Hibernian have enjoyed a couple of positive results recently, but their away form has proven to be problematic throughout this season.

That could end up being the difference maker this weekend, especially since Dundee are performing well and showcasing great defensive structure that will be tough to break down.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Two teams at opposite ends of the Scottish Premiership table will meet on Saturday as fourth-placed Hearts will compete against St Johnstone, who sit in 10th.

The hosts shall be trying to protect their current spot while a win could see them push into third, meanwhile, the visitors are continuing to try to stay above the relegation zone.

We say: Hearts 2-0 St Johnstone


St Johnstone have struggled so far this season, and competing away from home is going to make them the underdogs this weekend.

The hosts have been performing well throughout this campaign, and they will be expected to take all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Ross County will be attempting to get out of the Scottish Premiership relegation zone on Saturday when they host Kilmarnock.

The visitors could push into the top four with three points this weekend, but they will simply be focusing on getting back to winning ways after losing their previous outing.

We say: Ross County 2-1 Kilmarnock


Kilmarnock will head into this match as the favorites simply due to the league position, but that might not translate onto the pitch this weekend.

Ross County will have a new manager bounce for this game, and the arrival of Adams in the dugout could be enough to give them the slight edge.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Livingston look to pull themselves out of the relegation zone on Saturday when they make the trip to Paisley 2021 Stadium to face St Mirren.

The hosts are currently third in the Scottish Premiership, but head into this match on the back of three games without a win.

We say: St Mirren 3-0 Livingston


St Mirren might have been on a poor run of form as of late, but this could be the ideal game for them to return to winning ways following the international break.

Livingston are struggling for points lately which is reflected in the league table, and taking anything from this game will be a tough ask for the Lions.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
