After their Scottish Cup semi-final victories, it is back to the title race for the Old Firm with an exciting double-header on Sunday.

Rangers are away to St Mirren as they push for their first league win in four to move level on points with Celtic, before the Hoops take on Dundee.

St Mirren, who still have a chance of securing European football, have not beaten Rangers in the league since 2011.

Celtic have won their last nine league meetings with Dundee and, even if Rangers win earlier in the day, another victory would see them take a three-point lead into the final four games of an exciting title battle.

It has been a long, dismal campaign for Livingston with just three league wins and their stay in the top-flight is about to come to an end after six seasons.

Defeat to Ross County this weekend would seal their fate while giving the Staggies hope in their battle to avoid another relegation play-off.

County, who are 12 points ahead of Livi in 11th, have lost their last six league games away from home. They have never lost seven in succession on the road in the top-flight.

After their Hampden heartache in the Scottish Cup semi-final, Hearts can confirm their place as the best of the rest in the Premiership this weekend if they win at Kilmarnock.

Steven Naismith's side are 11 points clear of Killie and will guarantee third spot and clinch European group stage football in their first game in the split.

It will a tough test against Derek McInnes' side who have only lost twice at home in the league this season, and are also chasing a place in Europe.

Will Motherwell end their winless run against Dons?

Motherwell travel to Aberdeen this weekend looking to end their poor record against the Dons, having failed to beat them in their last five meetings.

The Fir Park side conceded a three-goal lead on their last visit to Pittodrie with Aberdeen claiming a 3-3 draw.

While Motherwell's top-flight status is all but secure, Aberdeen still run the risk of being dragged into the relegation play-off place.

Both sides are yet to guarantee their top-flight status for next season. The Dons are currently five points above the relegation play-off with Motherwell a further two points ahead.

Can Hibs avoid another defeat in Perth?

St Johnstone are without a win in their last seven home league games while this weekend's opponents Hibs are winless in their previous seven on the road.

Craig Levein's side know anything but a victory could see them dragged back into the relegation play-off place with just four games left to play.

Having narrowly missed out on a place in the top-six, Hibs sit nine points clear of the relegation zone but will be aiming to avoid back-to-back defeats at McDiarmid Park this season.
