Scottish Premiership Fixtures: Celtic Face St Mirren Live on Sky Sports

Scottish Premiership Weekend Preview: Key Fixtures to Watch

The Scottish Premiership returns this weekend with a full slate of fixtures, promising plenty of action for football fans. Among the standout matches, champions Celtic will face off against St Mirren in Paisley, continuing their title defense. Here’s a breakdown of the key matchups to watch.

St Mirren vs. Celtic: Can the Saints Break the Streak?

St Mirren will welcome Celtic this Sunday, a challenge that comes with a daunting history. The Saints have lost each of their last five encounters with the Hoops, conceding more than two goals per match. However, they recently recorded a convincing 3-0 win against Hibernian in their last home league game.

Celtic, under Brendan Rodgers, has started strong, securing two wins in their opening matches against Kilmarnock and Hibernian. Notably, the participation of key players like Matt O'Riley and Kyogo Furuhashi remains uncertain due to transfer speculations and injuries. This match is set to be a thrilling encounter.

Rangers vs. Ross County: Back-to-Back Wins on the Horizon?

Rangers have had a mixed start to the season, collecting four points from their first two league matches. They will host Ross County at Hampden Park, where the Dingwall side is searching for their first-ever away victory against Rangers. Historically, Rangers have dominated this matchup, with County failing to secure a win in their previous encounters.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement is looking to trim his squad for new additions, which may impact their lineup. Meanwhile, Ross County looks to capitalize on last season’s historic win against Rangers and hope to replicate that success this weekend.

Hibernian’s Struggles Against Unbeaten Dundee

Hibernian is on the hunt for their first win of the season as they face off against a confident Dundee side. Hibs have yet to score in their opening two matches, which has raised questions about their performance under manager David Gray. A loss would mark a troubling approach, given Dundee's solid form.

Dundee has started the season with four points from two matches and could gain momentum if they manage to secure a result at Easter Road. The statistics show that Hibs have only lost once to Dundee in their last fifteen meetings, providing them with a glimmer of hope going into this critical fixture.

Legendary Craig Levein Returns to Tannadice

St Johnstone’s Craig Levein meets his old club Dundee United as they aim to gain momentum this weekend. The former Hearts boss boasts a strong record against the Tangerines, losing only one of his last eight encounters. Dundee United is still seeking their first win after a slow start.

The hosts will look to turn their fortunes around, especially in front of their home crowd, but Levein’s side will aim to capitalize on their recent successes.

Aberdeen Looking to Continue Their Winning Streak

Aberdeen is experiencing a fantastic start under Martin Thelin, winning all seven of their competitive fixtures this season. They are set to face Kilmarnock, who has struggled in their recent games, aiming for redemption after a rocky start.

Abedeen’s recent performance positions them as favorites, but Kilmarnock's past successes against them could offer a psychological edge.

Motherwell and Hearts Seek Their First Win

Both Motherwell and Hearts currently sit near the bottom of the table without a win. Motherwell has struggled with injuries while Hearts looks to turn their fortunes around to avoid recording their longest winless start since 2019.
