Following Celtic’s surprise defeat at the hands of Inverness Caledonian Thistle in midweek, Rangers have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the SPL table, when they face Hearts on Saturday.
Gers can go four points clear of their arch rivals before Celtic make their trip to Kilmarnock in Sunday’s only game in the SPL.
The Ibrox club are on an unbeaten run of seven games in the league and go into Saturday’s game against Hearts (Match Betting – Rangers 1/3, draw 7/2, Hearts 8/1) on the back of a 5-0 thrashing of Motherwell last weekend.
Kyle Lafferty, Steven Naismith and Nikica Jelavic were all amongst the goals against ‘Well, as the trio continue to cause problems for defences north of the border.
As for Hearts, they have struggled to pick up wins in recent weeks as they have drawn their last five games in the SPL.
The Edinburgh club have had an impressive season, and have looked like the only side that can really challenge the Old Firm.
Manager Jim Jeffries has worked wonders at Tynecastle and his side will have a big say in where the SPL title will be heading, as they face both the Glasgow giants before the end of the campaign.
Despite the great strides Hearts have made this season, Rangers are full of confidence and should pick up all three points at Ibrox this weekend.
Meanwhile, Aberdeen have endured a disappointing season and they will want to end with a flourish, starting with their game against St Johnstone (Match Betting – Aberdeen 23/20, draw 9/4, St Johnstone 9/4).
The Dons pulled off a narrow 1-0 victory over Inverness in their last outing, which has eased and worries of being drawn into a relegation battle.
Saints sit just two points above Aberdeen in the table and they were relieved to finally break their goal drought in the 2-1 win over Hibernian last Saturday. The Perth side had failed to score since early March but goals from Liam Craig and Kevin Moon against Hibs put an end to the embarrassing goalless streak.
This should be a fairly even game between these two sides and a draw would not be a surprise result.
Dundee United host Motherwell on Saturday as the visitors look to bounce back from that heavy defeat to Rangers (Match Betting – Dundee Utd 4/5, draw 13/5, Motherwell 3/1).
Motherwell came out 2-1 victors in this fixture at Fir Park back in April and look like they will complete a quick-fire double over United, who have been inconsistent in recent weeks.
Hamilton will be looking to keep their slight hopes of avoiding the drop alive, when they host Hibernian on Saturday (Match Betting – Hamilton 17/10, draw 12/5, Hibernian 6/4).
The Accies are making a good fight of it at the bottom of the table, with Hamilton currently on a three-game unbeaten run. With Hibs struggling for results in recent weeks, Hamilton could bag another three points and keep their hopes of survival alive.
Finally, Inverness will still be on a high after their victory over the Bhoys in the week, as they look towards their clash with St Mirren (Match Betting – Inverness 10/11, draw 12/5, St Mirren 11/4).
Saints have not won in their last four games and will find life difficult at the gateway to the Highlands, with Inverness strong favourites to collect maximum points.
