Weekend preview in numbers

The Scottish Cup fifth round takes place this weekend but there are also key fixtures across all four divisions of the SPFL.

The Scottish Cup fifth round takes place this weekend but there are also key fixtures across all four divisions of the SPFL.

Here are some of the numbers ahead of Saturday's games:

11 Aberdeen are unbeaten in 11 Ladbrokes Premiership matches since losing 3-1 to Celtic at Parkhead on October 31. That sequence includes eight wins and three draws and another victory against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park - in a game postponed from January 3 - will see Derek McInnes' men move level on points with Celtic at the top of the table.

2 Queen of the South have won their last two games in the Ladbrokes Championship - at home to Alloa and away to Livingston - and are outside the play-off places only on goal difference. St Mirren ended their long wait for a home league win this season at the 10th attempt, beating Alloa 3-1 last weekend.

11 There is just one point between second-placed Ayr United and Peterhead, who have climbed to third on the back of an 11-match unbeaten run in Ladbrokes League 1. The Blue Toon have won five of their last six matches, scoring three, four, four, five and five goals in those victories.

7 It continues to be keenly contested in Ladbrokes League 2, with only seven points covering the six clubs from Queen's Park in third place down to Montrose in eighth spot. Elgin have a two-point lead at the summit while East Fife are up to second after a four-match winning run.
