The Scottish Premiership returns for a midweek set of fixtures on Wednesday night. Celtic have a three-point lead over Glasgow rival Rangers in the race for the Premiership trophy. Rangers are on a two-match winless streak in the league as they have a tricky fixture at St. Johnstone.
Celtic are three points ahead of Rangers going into Wednesday’s match at home. The Hoops are the Premiership’s in-form team after picking up 16 points from the last 18 points possible. St. Mirren are also in form. They took 11 points from the last 18 available.
St. Mirren go into Wednesday’s game at Celtic Park unbeaten in three straight away matches in the league. The last time these teams met, St. Mirren picked up a nil-nil draw. St. Mirren scored just six goals across their last six games. They conceded just five times.

Hearts have won just one of their last six games in all competitions against Aberdeen. The Dons are in awful form going into Wednesday’s game, however. Each of their last six matches finished without a win. Hearts are coming off of a win over St. Mirren away.
Aberdeen are ninth in the league. After a strong start to the campaign, Aberdeen are in freefall. They are 12 points above the bottom of the table. Unless they turn things around, Aberdeen will play in the relegation phase when the league splits in two.
Hearts are third in the league and on pace to qualify for Europe. However, Hearts’ form against Aberdeen across their last six matches ended in just one win. Their form has flagged of late. Just seven points from Hearts’ last 18 points were picked up.

Dundee United are unbeaten in five straight fixtures. They are in good form but collected just seven points from the last 18 points available. The Tangerines secured a mere one win from the last six games versus Livingston in all competitions.
Rangers are three points off of first-place Celtic. The Blues are flying high in the Europa League and Giovanni van Bronckhorst needs the team to turn around their league form. St. Johnstone are off the foot of the table and 11th in the division.
St. Johnstone picked up eight points from the last 18 points available in the division. They were outscored 8-7 in their last six matches. The Saints have the Premiership’s worst home points total with 11 from 14 games.
