Falkirk v Aberdeen (15:00)
Falkirk make two changes, with John McGlynn handing striker Barney Stewart a full Premiership debut - another accolade in his incredible football story.
The 21-year-old was playing for Heriot-Watt University in the East of Scotland Premier Division just over a year ago.
Signed by the Bairns last winter, he helped their promotion push before joining Dunfermline Athletic on loan earlier this year, where he scored eight in 12 games.

Aberdeen, meanwhile, look to have changed their shape and swapped five players from the win over Hibernian.

Dundee recall Cam Congreve, after he missed the win over Kilmarnock with a knock. The winger comes in for Charlie Reilly, who scored the winner in the midweek game.
Yesterday's signing, Joe Bevan, the forward signed from Burnley, takes up a spot on the bench.
FT: Celtic 1-3 Rangers
Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland tells Sky Sports: "We had to weather a bit first half, as you do when you come here. Figured a few things out at half-time.
"We deserved it in the end. We've shown in difficult times this season an ability to bounce back. Today, it is a statement win in that sense. Big weeks and big games to come
Rangers striker Youssef Chermiti: "This is what I work for, what everyone works for. It's a very good the feeling."

Michael Stewart
Former Scotland midfielder on BBC Sportsound
Untenable position for Wilfried Nancy. He disappears up the tunnel. He looks like a broken man.
The disconnect between the manager and the team is so stark.
It is not something that can continue and it should not have happened
The people on the board who facilitated this should be shown the door as well. Celtic are in an absolute state.

FT: Celtic 1-3 Rangers
That is six defeats in eight games for Celtic under Wilfried Nancy.
The former Columbus Crew head coach was already under pressure.
He pleaded yesterday for more time, but does he deserve it? Will he be given it?
Should he stay? Thumbs up for yes below, thumbs down for no.
Image source, SNSWhat a turnaround. Rangers edge 173 to 172 ahead in Old Firm derby wins.
But, more importantly, they are level on points with Celtic in the Premiership after an amazing three goals in 22 minutes.
Celtic should have had more than a single goal from Yang Hyun-jun in the first half, but a Youssef Chermiti double and another from Mikey Moore secured victory for the visitors.

Lissah's header was his first professional goal
At a glance
Filip Lissah's header gives Falkirk victory over Aberdeen for the second time this season.
Jimmy Thelin tinkers with Aberdeen's shape to little success, with the Dons now five without a win.
Falkirk head into top six but remain seven points behind fifth-placed Hibernian.
Falkirk charged back into the Scottish Premiership top six with a narrow win over Aberdeen that doomed the visitors to a fifth game without a win.
John McGlynn's side leapfrogged their opposition thanks to Filip Lissah's second-half header, which came after a first 45 minutes in which they absolutely dominated.
Jimmy Thelin had changed Aberdeen's shape, starting with a back four for the first time since September, but all it resulted in was a fragile defence that were exposed to countless chances.
Falkirk, meanwhile, had only scored one goal in their last six games and it took them a long time to finally make the breakthrough.
They had 11 shots in the first half before Lissah's 57th-minute header put them in front, as the defender ghosted past statuesque defenders in the Aberdeen box and powered in a header from a corner.
The result means Falkirk have beaten Aberdeen twice this season, and move into sixth place and closer to the 40-point target that McGlynn has set his side.
Aberdeen drop back to eighth with their fourth defeat in their last five games.
The scenes at full-time in the away end showed a fair number of irate Aberdeen fans venting their spleens at players and manager alike. It is not the first time this season that the television cameras have picked up those images.
A change to a back four was welcomed, with Thelin claiming he wanted to get another player forward to create more opportunities.
What happened was that Falkirk poured forward, exposing a frail defence and controlling the ball. By the 24th minute, the hosts had had four shots on target - more than their average per game this season.
Liam Henderson missed a header, Calvin Miller had a free-kick saved, Ethan Williams curled one too close to a busy Dimitar Mitov.
Had it been any other team, a goal would have felt inevitable but Aberdeen were relying on Falkirk's recent profligacy.
Attacking stats between Falkirk and Aberdeen
The goal did come, eventually, while Aberdeen toiled to create much of note. They didn't have a single shot on target throughout the game.
When they tried to play out from the back, the midfield was non-existent. The central pairing of Adil Aouchiche and Stuart Armstrong was short-lived due to an injury to the former, and when Sivert Heltne Nilsen came on, very little improved.
Kenan Bilalovic was given a first start for the club and made just five passes before he was hooked, taking just 15 touches in 45 minutes on the pitch. On the other side, Jesper Karlsson again looked exasperated by the quality around him.
It's hard to pinpoint a style in this Aberdeen team at times, and even harder to identify any substance. Once again, it feels like this Dons team is at a crossroads.
They flew under the radar as they sorted their form out between October and early November. Maybe that's because they've won just two games by more than one goal in the league this season, and both came against Dundee.
Now, that form has deserted them and Thelin must perform another act of escapology as he finds himself under the microscope.
Falkirk manager John McGlynn: "We could have added to the scoreline, we had opportunities to do that. But the win was fully merited. The stats back that up as well.
"We've taken 12 points in this round of games, with two left. We set a target of getting to 15, which we got in the first round, so we're within touching distance of that."
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin: "Even if you don't have the perfect game, it should always feel like we give the fans everything and right now we aren't doing that. That's not good enough.
"I'm the manager, I'm responsible, but sometimes the players have to look in the mirror and know what football is about."
Falkirk visit St Mirren next Saturday (15:00 GMT), while Aberdeen are in action on Tuesday night against Rangers at Ibrox (20:00), before hosting Danny Rohl's side on Sunday at Pittodrie (16:30).

Falkirk have won four and lost just one of their last six league meetings with Aberdeen (D1), winning their first clash this season 1-0 in August.
This will be Aberdeen’s first league visit to Falkirk since February 2010, losing 3-1 under Mark McGhee despite taking a 1-0 lead in the fifth minute.
Falkirk haven’t lost their first January match in any of their last four years as a top-flight side (W2 D2), most recently drawing 1-1 with Celtic in 2010. Their last such defeat was in 2006 (1-2 v Dundee United).
Aberdeen lost their opening league game of 2025 2-1 to Ross County; they haven’t lost their league opener in back-to-back calendar years since doing so in 1999 (v St. Johnstone) and 2000 (v Rangers).
Only Alexandros Kyziridis (28) and Reo Hatate (27) have created more chances from open play than Aberdeen’s Stuart Armstrong (25) in the Scottish Premiership this season.
