    Motherwell v Hamilton (15:00)

    Motherwell are unchanged from the 0-0 draw with Kilmarnock.

    Hamilton have not played for nine days, and they don't tinker too much with the side that beat Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

    Aaron McGowan drops to the bench, with Matthew Kilgallon starting in defence.

    Dundee v Hearts (15:00)

    One change for Dundee with Kenny Miller replacing Paul McGowan following their defeat by Rangers last month.

    Hearts make two alterations with Callumn Morrison and David Vanecek into the starting line-up in place of Oliver Bozanic and Steven MacLean.

  3. The search for form at the Tony Macaronipublished at 14:26 GMT 9 March 2019

    Livingston v St Johnstone (15:00)

    After a flying start to life in the Premiership, Livingston are toiling a tad. They ended a run of nine games without a win a fortnight ago by beating Kilmarnock, but then lost to bottom side St Mirren last time out.

    Fortunately for them opponents St Johnstone have been even worse. Eight without a win- seven of them defeats- for Tommy Wright's side, who had goalkeeper Mark Hurst walk out on them this week to leave them with just one fit senior goalkeeper in Cammy Bell.

    Wright thinks he's off to the US, "I think he has a girlfriend out there," the Saints manager told us. Bizarre.

  5. Henderson in for Celticpublished at 14:22 GMT 9 March 2019

    Celtic v Aberdeen (15:00)

    Manager Neil Lennon makes two changes to the side that saw off Hibernian in the Scottish Cup last week.

    With the champions looking to go 10 points clear of Rangers, Lennon recalls right back Jeremy Toljan and midfielder Ewan Henderson, with Mikael Lustig and Odsonne Edouard dropping to the bench.

    Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes makes one change from the 1-1 Scottish Cup draw with Rangers - striker James Wilson coming into the side in place of the injured Gary Mackay-Steven.

    Goalkeeper David Craddock is on the bench for the Dons, with regular back-up Tomas Cerny's wife about to have a baby.

  7. Talisman Naismith blow to Heartspublished at 14:19 GMT 9 March 2019

    Dundee v Hearts (15:00)

    It goes without saying that Hearts are not the same team this season without striker Steven Naismith. He's to have surgery on a knee injury for the second time this season and faces two months out.

    Hearts' blistering early season form spectacularly nose-dived when he missed eight games due to his first operation. In fact, Craig Levein's men have won just once in the league without the Scotland striker this season.

    Opponents this afternoon Dundee capitalised when he missed their last meeting due to suspension, as they produced a shock 2-1 win at Tynecastle. Can they do so again today?

  9. Honours even in Lanarkshire- for nowpublished at 14:14 GMT 9 March 2019

    Motherwell v Hamilton (15:00)

    It's a win apiece for these two rivals to so far this season. Motherwell took the three points last time out back in December, Tom Aldred's double earning them a 2-1 at New Douglas Park.

    But it was Accies who had the bragging rights after the first game on Motherwell's turf way back in August. Steven Boyd's stunning volley the only goal in a 1-0 win for Hamilton, then under Martin Canning.

    Who will take the spoils at Fir Park this time?

  11. PFA Scotland respond to Tavernier incidentpublished at 14:09 GMT 9 March 2019

    PFA Scotland have called for "open and candid discussions" about how to eradicate off-field incidents after Rangers captain James Tavernier was confronted by a man at Easter Road.
