Sky Sports Champions League •

The Scottish Premiership title race tightens as Hearts face Livingston while Celtic travel to Dens Park, both games live on Sky Sports. Derek McInnes' Hearts side have led since September 27 but could lose their position if Rangers beat Dundee United on Saturday. The Tynecastle club have faltered recently, losing two of their last five matches.

Rangers seek to move top with a win against Dundee United, something they haven't achieved in two previous meetings this season. Celtic, meanwhile, aim to avoid back-to-back defeats at Dens Park where they remain winless this term. The Hoops could find themselves eight points behind Hearts and five adrift of Rangers when they kick off.

Down the table, Falkirk chase European football with striker Barney Stewart potentially becoming the first player to score in four successive Premiership games since 2006. Livingston, already 12 points adrift, battle to avoid the play-off spot while Kilmarnock and St Mirren fight for survival. The Bairns could secure a top-six place if Motherwell drop points.
