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. St Mirren (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Celtic will endeavour to build on their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they welcome St Mirren to Parkhead on Wednesday night.

While the Hoops are unbeaten in each of their last eight home games across all competitions, the Buddies have only won one of their last 10 matches on the road.

We say: Celtic 3-0 St Mirren

Despite losing out to St Mirren in the reverse fixture earlier this season, Celtic will be regarded as firm favourites to claim maximum points on Wednesday considering their form heading into this fixture.

The Hoops have been scoring goals for fun on home soil in recent months and we expect them to have more joy in the final third against a Buddies outfit who have kept only one clean sheet in their last 10 matches.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Hearts vs. Aberdeen (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Hearts will aim to extend their winning streak in the Scottish Premiership to eight games when they welcome Aberdeen to Tynecastle on Wednesday night.

Third-placed Hearts find themselves six points clear of fifth-placed Aberdeen in the table, although both sides remain on course to secure a spot in the Championship Group when the league splits in April.

We say: Hearts 2-1 Aberdeen

Having avoided defeat in each of their past seven games, Hearts will be confident of overcoming Aberdeen, who look set to struggle without Stewart following last weekend's League Cup exit.

If the recent scoring trends of Hearts and Aberdeen are anything to go by, both teams should find the net on Wednesday, but the hosts have more than enough quality to outscore the visitors at Tynecastle.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Kilmarnock vs. Rangers (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Seeking to close the gap to rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership, Rangers make the trip to Rugby Park to face Kilmarnock on Wednesday night.

The two teams endured contrasting results in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals over the weekend, with the Gers edging past Aberdeen and Killie losing out to Celtic.

We say: Kilmarnock 0-2 Rangers

Kilmarnock have performed much better on home soil so far this term and they will fancy their chances of causing an upset on Wednesday.

However, Rangers head to Rugby Park as favourites despite their recent record in East Ayrshire, and they should have enough quality in their side to secure a routine victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
