Glasgow, Scotland (My Sportsbook) - The Scottish Premier League kicks back into action this weekend with a full slate of games on tap. There will be four games on Saturday, highlighted by table leading Rangers hosting St Mirren, and two Sunday fixtures, highlighted by the Hearts vs. Dundee United tilt. Rangers, who own a 10-point lead with a game in hand on the next five teams, have lost just once this season, so don't expect 10th-placed St Mirren to pull off any miracles on Saturday, especially considering the club hasn't earned a victory in its last eight league fixtures. Second-placed Celtic travels to take on last-placed Falkirk on Sunday, coming off a loss to the leaders last weekend. Falkirk is winless against the Glasgow giants in over three years, but Celtic has failed to earn a result in its last three away fixtures. Third-placed Dundee United will try to put an end to Hearts' three-game winning streak on Sunday. Hearts will be aiming to solidify their spot in the top half of the table with a result in the match-up. Fourth-placed Hibernian hosts ninth-placed Kilmarnock on Saturday in a battle of two clubs that are struggling to find their form as of late. Fifth-placed Motherwell travels to take on eight-placed St Johnston on Saturday, aiming to extend it's unbeaten run to 10 games, and its wining streak to three. The Saints are also in form, having only lost two of their last nine SPL fixtures. The other Saturday fixture is a battle of bottom-half clubs Hamilton (11th) and Aberdeen (seventh).
