Weekend preview

Some of the numbers behind this weekend's SPFL games...

1 – cinch Premiership leaders Rangers are a point ahead of Hibernian, who visit Ibrox in one of two Sunday fixtures. Aberdeen host Celtic in the other, live on Sky Sports at 12 noon. Jack Ross' side are unbeaten in the top flight this season and are ahead of city rivals Hearts on goals scored. The Jam Tarts are also unbeaten going into Saturday's home match with in-form Motherwell.

0 – Inverness Caledonian Thistle continue to set the pace in the cinch Championship and are three points clear of closest challengers Kilmarnock. Billy Dodds' men have yet to concede a goal on their travels ahead of their trip to Hamilton on Saturday. Accies have lost three out of three at home and are yet to score at New Douglas Park in the Championship since being relegated.

8 – David Goodwillie (Clyde) and Graham Webster (Montrose) are the leading scorers in the SPFL this season, with eight goals apiece in cinch League 1. Webster has netted in all seven league appearances for the Gable Endies in 2021/22 – he missed the recent defeat to Alloa due to injury. Goodwillie’s goals have come in four matches, all as doubles. Clyde make the short journey to Airdrie on Saturday while Montrose play leaders Queen’s Park at Firhill on Sunday.

4 – Kelty Hearts have a four-point advantage at the summit of cinch League 2 as the first quarter of the campaign concludes this weekend. Kevin Thomson’s side host third-placed Annan Athletic while Stirling Albion, who are on a run of four wins and a draw, go to Elgin City. The Binos have kept four clean sheets in eight matches this season but are without a win in the last six meetings with Gavin Price’s side.
