  1. Sole Bairns change; Six swaps for Hibspublished at 14:16 BST 9 May

    Falkirk v Hibernian (15:00)

    Falkirk manager John McGlynn makes just one change to the side that beat Motherwell 1-0 last time out.

    Forward Kyrell Wilson returns to the starting XI, with Ben Broggio dropping to the bench.

    Falkirk also welcome back defender Liam Henderson, who is named among the substitutes.

    David Gray makes six changes to the side that lost 2-1 to Celtic last weekend.

    Defender Grant Hanley, goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger and midfielder Felix Passlack return from suspension, while Daniel Barlaser, Josh Campbell and Jordan Obita also make their return to the starting XI.

    Jamie McGrath drops out after his red card last weekend, with fellow midfielder Joe Newell, defensive trio Josh Campbell, Rocky Bushiri, Jordan Obita and goalkeeper Jordan Smith all dropping out.

  2. Meeting of also ranspublished at 14:14 BST 9 May

    Aberdeen v Dundee United (15:00)

    Aberdeen and United would be forgiven if they are taking a sense of ‘what might have been’ into this latest edition of the fixture.

    The two teams would have wanted to be stepping out at Pittodrie this afternoon with a whole lot more to play for.

    The Dons are eighth in the table and looking for a draw to guarantee their top-division status – not a particularly lofty outcome to a season that promised a lot.

    Seventh-placed United’s campaign, meanwhile, can best be summed up as mediocre, neither here nor there.

  3. O'Hara in for Dundee, Arfield makes four Livi changespublished at 14:12 BST 9 May

    Dundee v Livingston (15:00)

    Dundee make one change following last week's 1-0 home win over St Mirren.

    Goalkeeper Jon McCracken has been ruled out for the rest of the season and is replaced between the sticks with Kieran O'Hara.

    Winger Scott Wright is fit enough to make the bench.

    Interim boss Scott Arfield, who is still registered as a Livingston player, does not select himself for his first game in charge and makes four changes to the side that drew 2-2 with Aberdeen eight days ago.

    Defender Cammy Kerr, midfielders Scott Pittman and Dylan Tait and winger Barrie McKay all come into the starting line-up.

    Arfield and defender Ryan McGowan are not in the squad, while Cristian Montano and Stevie May drop to the bench.

    St Mirren v Kilmarnock (15:00)

    A few Kilmarnock players took a stroll from the tunnel to inspect the pitch not long ago.

    At exactly the same time as a sprinkler burst into life to the left of the home technical area to water the pitch.

    Visiting striker Bruce Anderson had to show an earlier than expected turn of pace to make sure he stayed dry.

  6. Thompson in for Killie as St Mirren switch threepublished at 14:08 BST 9 May

    St Mirren v Kilmarnock (15:00)

    St Mirren interim manager Craig McLeish makes three changes to the side that started last weekend's defeat away to Dundee.

    Experienced Marcus Fraser is into defence with Liam Donnelly, while forward Conor McMenamin also comes into the team.

    Scott Tanser, Richard King and Jayden Richardson all drop to the bench.

    It's just the one change for Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann after last Saturday's win over Dundee United, striker Bruce Anderson dropping out for left-back Dom Thompson.

    Looks like a 4-2-3-1 shape for Neil McCann's men.

  11. Pars reach semi-final against Thistlepublished at 14:03 BST 9 May

    FT: Arbroath 0-0 Dunfermline Athletic (0-1)

    There's already been one big game this weekend, with Dunfermline Athletic reaching the Premiership play-off semi-final at Arbroath's expense.

    Neil Lennon's side finished behind the part-timers in fourth in the Championship, but a 1-0 win in the first leg proved enough after last night's goalless draw at Gayfield.

    On-loan Motherwell goalkeeper Aston Oxborough saved a late Aaron Muirhead penalty to deny the hosts an equaliser on aggregate.

    Dunfermline will now host Partick Thistle on Tuesday, with the second leg on Friday.
