Aberdeen v Hibernian

This is a big one for both teams.

Aberdeen put on a great performance against Celtic last week, but it's the games against non-Old Firm teams that have put them under pressure.

They need a result or there's going to be troubled times ahead for them.

Hibs are starting to get it together, but they were poor against Rangers last week and you never know what's going to happen with them, so I think this one will end up a draw.

Prediction: 1-1

Celtic v Hamilton Accies

You would expect Celtic to win this one - they're playing well, although, they nearly came unstuck against Aberdeen last week and lost to Villarreal.

Any team in the world needs a minor miracle at Celtic Park and, while Hamilton have a good amount of points on the board, they're experiencing a few ups and downs.

They've lost a few games in the league and going into this one they won't be expecting points.

The Accies will look to keep their confidence high and the score respectable but I think Celtic will win this one comfortably.

Prediction: 3-0

Dundee United v Inverness CT

United are making good progress in the league which shows you what confidence can do you for you - even when you've not playing too well.

I would expect a United victory in this match even though Inverness can make it difficult for teams.

The visitors got a great win last weekend but Tannadice is a hard place to go.

I think Inverness will score in this game but United will come through in the end.

Prediction: 2-1

Hearts v Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock are turning into Hearts' bogey team but Hearts are doing okay at the moment, despite their recent wages problems.

It always seems that when the football is going well, something always crops up off the field and spoils it. It soon spreads on to the pitch and affects the players, like it did against United.

This is a chance for them to bounce back at home and get a result and show that any off the pitch problems are behind them.

Kilmarnock have now gone three league games without a win and they've lost some key players through injury.

I think it'll be a tight affair but both teams will probably settle for a draw.

Prediction: 1-1

SUNDAY 5 OCTOBER

Motherwell v Falkirk

It all depends on the European match what happens with Motherwell on Sunday.

They could go into it on a high, which would be unbelievable, but they've got to concentrate on their bread and butter games and after winning last weekend they'll want to keep that momentum going.

Falkirk are scoring goals at the moment, so they'll be full of confidence and looking forward to the game.

I think there will be plenty of goals in this game but it will probably end in a draw.

Prediction: 2-2

St Mirren v Rangers

St Mirren are really struggling at the moment at the bottom of the table. They need to find something but this is not the best game for it to happen.

Even if they get beaten, as long as they put on a performance, they have absolutely nothing to lose.

Rangers are playing very well at the moment; they're creating chances with intelligent players who are pulling the whole team together. They're passing the ball, scoring goals and everything is going well for them.

I think St Mirren will have their spell in the game but Rangers will have too much quality for them.

Prediction: 1-3
