Match Details
Date: Sunday, 29th September 11:00am
Kick-off: 12:00pm
The atmosphere at Ibrox is expected to be electric, with the stadium set to be at full capacity. Rangers will be eager to bounce back after their recent performances.
Hibernian secured their first Premiership win last weekend but face an uphill battle, having lost their last six league encounters against Rangers. In fact, they have not triumphed over Rangers in their last 22 league meetings since February 2018.
Celtic’s Form Under Scrutiny
Celtic enters the weekend outstandingly, having won all five of their Premiership games without conceding a goal. The Hoops are on a remarkable 14-game winning streak, including their recent victory against Falkirk in the League Cup.
As they prepare to face St Johnstone, who are without a league win in their last 30 meetings with Celtic, interim manager Andy Kirk will aim to shift the momentum in favor of his side.
Hearts’ Search for a Win
Hearts face a challenging day as they look to secure their first win of the season following the departure of Steven Naismith. Interim head coach Liam Fox will take charge as the Jambos aim to avoid recording their poorest start since 2014-15.
Meanwhile, Kilmarnock will seek their first league win of the season against Dundee United, who haven’t won away in their last 19 league encounters.
Aberdeen’s Winning Streak
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin could lead his team to a remarkable 12th consecutive victory this weekend if they overcome Dundee. The Dons are currently on an impressive roll, with an unblemished record in their opening five league games.
Motherwell look to build on their recent League Cup success, while St Mirren aims to maintain their position above Motherwell in the standings. Toyosi Olusanya will be one to watch as he looks to continue his scoring streak.
This weekend’s fixtures in the Scottish Premiership promise to deliver thrilling football with significant implications for the title race and relegation battle. Fans can expect high drama as teams seek to secure vital points in their campaigns.
