Celtic alarm, Rangers head-scratcher, Hearts awkwardness, Aberdeen adapting, midweek Premiership predictions - Scotsman Football Show

A full Scottish Premiership fixture card takes place on Wednesday in what promises to be another interesting night in the race for the title, Europe and the top six, as well as the battle to avoid the drop.

Whether it be Celtic and Rangers vying for top spot, Hearts closing in on third place, the seven teams seperated by five points behind them, or St Johnstone and Dundee scrapping at the bottom, there is plenty to play for throughout the table.

Celtic host St Mirren looking to rediscover the effervescence that has been absent from their recent displays, while Rangers, after successive draws against mid-table opposition, can ill-afford another slip-up at St Johnstone.

Meanwhile, Hearts host Aberdeen, Hibs visit Dundee, Livingston welcome Dundee United and Motherwell face Ross County in fixtures which could see teams swap places in the congested middle of the standings.
