It’s a packed day of football in the SPFL after last night’s stunning result in Hamilton with visitors Partick Thistle giving the hosts an incredible 6-1 pasting.
Rangers entertain Hearts in a top-of-the-table clash at Ibrox, while Celtic face a similarly tricky contest with a trip to fourth-place Motherwell as Ange Postecoglou looks to build up some momentum following the victory over Aberdeen a fortnight ago.
Speaking of the Dons, they travel to Dundee desperate for a victory and no wins in their last nine outings in all competitions. That match will be an evening kick-off after the clubs agreed to change so the match could get more exposure on the SPFL’s live international feed.
Dundee United travel to Easter Road to face Hibs, Ross County entertain St Mirren and St Johnstone battle with Livingston at McDiarmid Park.
