A win for Mark McGhee’s men will see them jump off the bottom of the table with rivals St Johnstone replacing them, while three points for the Buddies will move them onto 36 points alongside Motherwell, Dundee United and Ross County, one point behind Hibs and Livingston.
Following the fixture there will be just eight games left in the top-flight. This weekend’s sees the league take a break for the Scottish Cup quarter-finals before returning for the final three games before the split.

St Johnstone and Dundee are duking it out at the bottom, while Hearts are all alone in third. Twenty points behind Rangers but 13 ahead of rivals Hibs.

1. Brown exits Aberdeen
Scott Brown has left Aberdeen less than a year into the two-year contract he agreed 12 months ago when he decided to leave Celtic. The midfielder is keen to transition into coaching. He said: "I would like to take this opportunity to firstly thank the Board at Aberdeen and, of course, Stephen Glass and his backroom staff, for giving me the opportunity to enjoy my first taste of coaching.” (Various) Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
2. Lennon set to appoint former team-mate as assistant
Brown is unlikely, however, to link up with former Celtic boss Neil Lennon. The Northern Irishman has been appointed as the new Omonia Nicosia boss. Lennon has lined up one-time Celtic team-mate Mark Fotheringham as his new assistant. The 38-year-old former Cowdenbeath assistant has been coaching in Germany and has previously played in Cyprus.
