Rangers face a tricky trip to St Mirren seeking to close the gap on Celtic, who lost in Falkirk. The Buddies have shown resilience at home, drawing with Hibernian and beating Dundee recently. A win for Rangers could see them move within a point of the top.

Hibs, fresh from a League Cup semi-final win over Hearts, must improve their league form before facing Rangers at Hampden. Aberdeen host them in need of a turnaround after recent defeats. Both clubs remain in the relegation zone but still have ambitions.

The mid-table battle intensifies with Dundee United hosting Motherwell and a Tayside derby between St Johnstone and Dundee. Both sides are desperate for points to climb the table before the break.
