Hearts will be glad to be back on their Tynecastle turf after a miserable tally of one point from their past four away days.

The league leaders are the only team not to have lost at home this season, winning 12 of their 16 games so far.

Motherwell came closest to spoiling that back in August when they led 3-0 after 62 minutes, but Hearts came roaring back to share the spoils.

That was a thriller. The 0-0 at Fir Park in November was not.

St Mirren have won two in a row under the temporary guidance of Craig McLeish.

If he can keep them away from a play-off, the 36-year-old may be in pole position to stay in the post on a permanent basis.

A double-header with Celtic, who they also meet in next weekend's Scottish Cup semi-finals, will be a real test of the 36-year-old's credentials.

Celtic kept themselves in the race to defend their crown with a late winner at Dundee last time.

Now they have four of their final six games at home as they bid to overtake Rangers and Hearts, who both have to visit the east end of Glasgow.

Celtic have only lost one of their past 39 home games against St Mirren in all competitions, winning 34 of those, but the last meeting of the sides was a 3-1 victory for the Paisley side in December's League Cup final.

Hibs have crept up on Motherwell and are now just three points behind in the race for fourth place - the last guaranteed European spot.

David Gray's side have won both previous meetings with Aberdeen and are looking to make it three in a row in the same season for the first time since 2002-03.

Aberdeen haven't had much of a 'bounce' since Stephen Robinson arrived, a draw with Falkirk followed by away defeats to Rangers and the manager's former team St Mirren.

The Dons have lost 18 games, the same as bottom club Livingston, and have gone nine league matches since a win, which came against the stranded West Lothian side.

They now have a run of four games at home, with a visit to Livi sandwiched in between, although Pittodrie form has not been great, with just four wins from 15 fixtures.

Aberdeen really need points on the board to stay in front of St Mirren and Kilmarnock in the scrap to avoid the relegation play-off.

A sell-out crowd is celebrating Joey Harper on what is the Aberdeen's inaugural Legends Day.

The King of the Beach End, who is now 78, is the Dons’ record scorer, netting 205 goals over two spells.

He should get a good reception from the travelling Hibs fans too, having been at Easter Road for a couple of seasons.

How Stephen Robinson must wish he had a predatory player like Harper in his team as they try to stave off the increasingly real threat of relegation.

Hearts' lead has diminished in recent weeks but their home form is the strongest in the league.

The past four outings at Tynecastle have all been 1-0 victories and fans in maroon would be more than happy with the same scoreline as they look for a boost going into the split.

Motherwell are the only team Hearts have yet to get the better off this season.

Visiting manager Jens Berthel Askou has received great plaudits for their style of play and, although they have hit the buffers a bit, surely it’s only a matter of time before they get back into their stride.

Nothing in this title or relegation fight seems straightforward right now

This test at home to a suddenly in-form St Mirren might follow a similar pattern unless Celtic are more clinical than they've been.

There's an outside chance to go top today but the priority for these next six league game is simple. Win.

After his decisive goal against Dundee last weekend, substitute striker Kelechi Iheanacho stated he's ready to start games after an injury-hit campaign.

He's had to settle for a place on the bench with Tomas Cvancara retaining his place but he does offer the champions a bit of extra threat they've been missing against a visiting side looking for a huge boost in their own fight at the other end.

Jim Goodwin has made four changes to his Dundee United side from the team that lst 4-2 at Ibrox last time out.

Dave Richards replaces Ashley Maynard-Brewer in goal after the Australian was ruled out for the remainder of the season, while Ryan Strain, Zac Sapsford and Sam Cleall Harding replace Krisztian Keresztes, Neil Farrugia and Luca Stephenson.

Livingston are unchanged from the side that drew with Hearts last weekend, though Brooklyn Kabangolo is on the bench after returning from suspension.

Kilmarnock make two changes following last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Hibernian and Dundee also bring in two players after their 2-1 loss at home to Celtic.

For the hosts, Tom Lowery and Bruce Anderson come in for Liam Polworth and Brad Lyons, who take up places on the bench.

For the visitors, Billy Koumetio and Joel Cotterill replace the suspended Ryan Astley and Finlay Robertson.

Stephen Robinson has made five changes to his Aberdeen side after the 2-0 defeat to St Mirren.

In goals, Dimitar Mitov replaces Per Kristian Bratveit. Graeme Shinnie, Topi Keskinen and Marko Lazetic drop to the bench, Kenan Bilalovic misses out altogether.

Lyall Cameron, Stuart Armstrong, Toyosi Olusanya and Kevin Nisbet are all in from the start.

Hibs boss David Gray has named an unchanged starting line-up from last weekend's 3-0 win over Kilmarnock, while Nicky Cadden is fit enough for the bench.

Anthony Ralston starts for Celtic as Colby Donovan becomes the third injured right-back at the club.

That's the only change to Martin O'Neill's starting XI.

Arne Engels is among the home substitutes, having been out of action since early February.

St Mirren stick with the same side from last weekend's 2-0 win over Aberdeen.

Hearts head coach Derek McInnes makes three changes from the 2-2 draw with Livingston, with Beni Baningime back in the starting line-up, replacing the suspended Marc Leonard in central midfield.

Jamie McCart makes way for fit-again Stuart Findlay in central defence, while midfielder Blair Spittal starts in place of winger Islam Chesnokov.

Centre-half Frankie Kent is fit enough for the bench.

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou names the same starting XI despite a 3-2 home defeat by Falkirk last time out.

Striker Callum Hendry returns to the bench after a three-month absence, while defender Liam Gordon has also recovered from an injury to be among the substitutes.

Brechin City have missed out on goal difference in the past two seasons. A third successive runners-up spot on those terms would really sting...

Brora Rangers and Brechin City go into the final day of the Highland League season locked on 74 points.

Defending champions Brora, who have a better goal difference of four, travel to Huntly and City are away to Turriff United.

Both will be expected to win but there could be a few nerves.

The top two in the Lowland League meet as Linlithgow Rose host Clydebank, with the visitors one point in front, but there's one more round of fixtures to go in that one.

The winning sides will meet in a two-legged play-off to decide who goes up against the club finishing bottom of League Two, which will almost certainly be Edinburgh City.

The top two are at home today, with St Johnstone five points clear of Partick Thistle after 32 games.

With four fixtures remaining, the Perth Saints are well placed to bounce straight back to the top flight, but we saw Falkirk struggle to get over the line last time.

After last weekend's draw in Ayr, Thistle can't afford any more slip-ups.

Ross County's defeat at Queen's Park last night leaves the Dingwall side standing precariously on the relegation trap door.

• Partick Thistle v Dunfermline Athletic
