Paisley, Scotland (My Sportsbook) - St Mirren will open its brand-new stadium when it hosts Kilmarnock on Greenhill Road in Scottish Premier League action on Saturday. The hosts start a new era just a point back of the visitors in the bottom third of the league table, meaning the points are of utmost importance to both squads. Saturday's full slate will be highlighted by second-placed Rangers aiming to close the four-point gap on leaders Celtic by hosting Dundee United, which is in a third-placed tie, 16 points back of the leaders. Hearts, the team level on points with United, travels to take on a Hamilton squad that has won five straight at New Douglas Park without giving up a goal. Fifth-placed Aberdeen travels to take on second-from-the-bottom squad Falkirk, which is aiming to end a nine-match winless streak. Aberdeen is at the other end of the spectrum, with just one loss in the past eight league fixtures. Hibernian hosts Motherwell in a middle-of-the-table clash. Hibs are currently in sixth, but just two points up on the visitors. On Sunday, Celtic will aim to at least maintain its four-point lead when it travels to last-placed Inverness, which is two-points deep in the basement.
