Weekend preview

The last set of SPFL fixtures before Christmas take place this weekend...

Celtic have a five-point lead at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership after nine straight league wins going into Saturday's home match against Aberdeen. Rangers, who have a game in hand, travel to Easter Road this evening to play Hibernian, live on BT Sport at 7.45pm. Kilmarnock have Alex Dyer in caretaker charge for the visit of Motherwell to Rugby Park while there's a big game at the bottom of the table as Hamilton Accies and Hearts clash in Lanarkshire. Livingston host Ross County, with just a point between the teams in the table. St Johnstone and St Mirren are tied on 15 points going into their clash at McDiarmid Park.

Dundee United have built up a 13-point lead in the Ladbrokes Championship on the back of eight successive victories. They have a perfect home record and are aiming to keep that going when third-placed Ayr United go to Tannadice. It's second against fourth in the Highland capital as Inverness CT face Dunfermline Athletic while Partick Thistle are seeking a third straight win when they play Dundee at the Energy Check Stadium at Firhill. Alloa Athletic will move off the bottom of the table at Morton's expense if they pick up all three points when the teams meet at the Indodrill Stadium. Queen of the South will go above Arbroath if they come out on top at Palmerston.

Only four points separate the top four in Ladbrokes League 1. Raith Rovers, leaders on goal difference and unbeaten at home, welcome Dumbarton to Stark's Park while second-placed Airdrieonians make the short journey to Broadwood to play Clyde. East Fife, in third, travel north to take on Peterhead and Falkirk are away to a Montrose team who are just outside the play-offs after winning eight of their last 10 games. Stranraer are five points adrift of Forfar Athletic at the bottom as they prepare to play the Loons at Stair Park.

Cove Rangers have a two-point advantage over Edinburgh City in Ladbrokes League 2, with the title rivals both away from home this weekend. Cove are at Hampden to face Queen's Park and City play Stirling Albion at Forthbank. Third-placed Cowdenbeath take on Stenhousemuir at Central Park and Annan Athletic, in fourth spot, travel to Coatbridge to face Albion Rovers. Elgin City are at home to bottom club Brechin City, who have won their last two games.
