Wednesday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic vs. Hearts

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


Livingston vs. Dundee Utd (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Livingston will welcome relegation-threatened Dundee United to the Tony Macaroni Arena on Wednesday evening in the latest round of Scottish Premiership matches.

David Martindale's side occupy the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round position. In contrast, The Terrors remain above the relegation playoff scene at the opposite end of the table on only goal difference.

We say: Livingston 3-1 Dundee United


On course to equal their highest-ever Scottish Premiership finish, we predict that Livingston will enter double-digit league victories for the current campaign at the expense of relegation-threatened Dundee United.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Celtic vs. Hearts (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Celtic host Hearts on Wednesday evening in a meeting between two of the Scottish Premiership's top three.

Ange Postecoglou's reigning champions maintained their nine-point lead at the top-flight summit with a 5-1 thrashing against St Mirren, while Hearts solidified third place with a comfortable 3-0 win at home to St Johnstone.

We say: Celtic 3-1 Hearts


Neilson insisted that Hearts would not deviate from their typical passing game when travelling to Glasgow, but few in Scotland have been able to keep the ball against a Celtic side which averages 73% possession.

Celtic may not have it all their own way on Wednesday but are heavy favourites to extend their 11-game winning run.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Hibernian vs. Rangers (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Hibernian host Rangers in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening in a meeting between two teams struggling to catch their fierce city rivals.

Hibs came from behind to breeze past Livingston last weekend but continue to trail third-placed Hearts, while Rangers languish nine points behind league-leading Celtic despite defeating Kilmarnock 3-1 on Saturday.

We say: Hibernian 1-2 Rangers


Hibs, spurred on by the memory of Gordon and a lengthy unbeaten streak, could unsettle Rangers, but Beale's side rightly retain the tag of favourites for this particular fixture.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
