SATURDAY 31 JANUARY

This is St Mirren's first game at their new stadium, so they'll have a bumper crowd.

St Mirren will be up for it, and if Killie don't match them, it'll be a long day for Jim Jefferies.

You always expect Kilmarnock to underperform against a team like St Mirren, but they always manage to pull off something from a match like this and make a game of it when no-one fancies them to win.

However, I think because of the circumstances with the new stadium, Saints will win it.

Prediction: 2-1

Falkirk really need something to start happening for them, and quickly.

They got a decent result last week, which enabled them to get back on the tracks, but it's going to be a tough few weeks for them.

With Inverness getting a new manager, Falkirk need to start getting points on the board quickly or they could find themselves in trouble.

Aberdeen's record is improving all the time, but their record at Falkirk isn't too great, although they got a win earlier in the season.

Falkirk will be keen to try and take all three points at home, but I think Aberdeen will sneak a draw.

Prediction: 1-1

This is going to be a close one.

To be fair to Hamilton, they got a great result last week, and they're doing it with few resources.

They need to keep the performances up and prove they can hack it in the SPL.

Hearts are doing well and they're strong defensively, but last week's result was close against Caley Thistle, so they're going to have to work hard for this one.

I reckon this will be a close one, with a lot of defending at the back, but I'm going to go for a Hearts win.

Prediction: 0-1

Hibs are perfectly capable on their day, and they're still scoring goals against almost every team in the league, but the results have been up and down.

I expect there to be plenty of goals in this game, especially since Motherwell are battling away and grinding out results.

Mark McGhee's side have skill and can take on the best teams, but I think if Porter goes before Friday, they'll lose their cutting edge.

I think this game will have goals, and it'll be exciting with plenty of chances for both sides, but it'll end up in a draw.

Prediction: 1-1

Rangers will go back to a 4-4-2 formation for this match, I'm sure of that.

There's been plenty of great encounters between these two sides recently, and you would always expect a great game when United visit Ibrox.

But while I expect United to score goals and work hard, I think the defeat against Celtic on Wednesday will dampen their spirits and Rangers will come back at them.

I think Rangers will take this one, especially with the results during the week for both sides, although it'll be a close call.

Prediction: 2-1

SUNDAY 1 FEBRUARY

Getting a new manager will be a huge lift for Caley Thistle and every match from now on will be a cup final for them.

They will give Celtic a tough game in this one.

If Celtic play to their strengths, they can win this one.

They have the better quality and experience, but it'll be a hard game for them.

If Inverness can play well and show Terry Butcher they mean business - even if they lose - it'll give them the boost they need to carry on in their remaining games to try and stay up.

But I think this one will go to Celtic, with a narrow win.

Prediction: 1-2
