It's hard to keep playing young Danny Wilson. He's been superb this season but has made a couple of mistakes recently and this might be the game to take him out and bring Madjid Bougherra back into the fray.
I think Rangers will win it, but it'll be a tough game and could be decided by the odd goal.
Prediction: 1-2
Celtic v Aberdeen
Fair play to Celtic, with the pressure Tony Mowbray was under, they really had to win their last two games and they did.
They beat St Mirren last week with a good performance and they got a win against Hapoel Tel-Aviv, while keeping a clean sheet.
Their strikers are scoring again, winning games and will go into the game against the Dons full of confidence. Maybe they've turned the corner.
Aberdeen had a great performance against Rangers last week, up against it with a makeshift back four. They battled hard with 10 men and that victory will have given them a boost.
They'll make it difficult, but I think Celtic will win it, especially with home advantage.
Prediction: 2-0
Dundee Utd v St Mirren
St Mirren have caused United problems at Tannadice in recent seasons. If Craig Levein's side play to their potential they should win.
I knew they would face a tough game against Motherwell last week and there's been a big uproar over the players Levein is missing through suspension.
However, United have got a strong bench and I've watched Jon Daly come on in the last few weeks and scoring a couple of equalisers.
Saints have been playing well of late and are always putting points on the board.
I expect United to win the game, but it'll be a close one.
Prediction: 2-1
Hibernian v Motherwell
I fancy a high-scoring game at Easter Road. I don't think the two teams have been playing at the top of their games, but my word they still get goals.
Hibs seem to score even when they're not playing well and Derek Riordan can often prove the difference.
The side can be struggling and then, all of a sudden, he bangs one into the top corner.
If they are firing on all cylinders then they're capable of scoring goals from all over the pitch.
That's why I think there'll be goals in this game.
Motherwell were playing better earlier in the season but are still creating chances.
They probably don't defend that well because their full backs always bomb forward and that can leave them short at the back.
Both teams will be going for it and I expect an entertaining game.
Prediction: 2-2
St Johnstone v Kilmarnock
Saints have been doing fine in their first season back in the SPL. They score goals, simple as that, and they'll be feeling confident after the recent win against Hearts.
Derek McInnes's side will create chances on Saturday, no doubt about that.
But this is a huge game for Kilmarnock, to be honest. In previous seasons, Kilmarnock would probably be approaching this fixture thinking they could at least draw.
They need a big result because they've found themselves getting sucked into the relegation zone.
I really like Kilmarnock's Craig Bryson, he's a great wee, industrious team player.
The rest of the team have to start chipping in with some goals to ease the burden on Kevin Kyle.
Kilmarnock are asking a lot of him to lead the line and get all the goals; he's too busy bringing others into play.
I think they'll dig out a draw.
Prediction: 1-1
SUNDAY 6 DECEMBER
Hamilton Accies v Hearts (1245)
What can you say about Hamilton? They're not a team who play expansive football. Last year, they had James McCarthy, who was a cracking flair player.
Mickael Antoine-Curier has been doing well in front of goal, but he's leading the line on his own.
They're trying to get players forward from midfield, but they're better when they go a goal up.
If Hamilton score first on Sunday, they'll be hard to peg back. They didn't give St Mirren a sniff after going 2-0 up.
These two sides play with almost identical styles: Hearts are the same, priding themselves on their defending rather than opening up and scoring goals.
Both sides have won games recently with good set pieces. This will be a hard-fought game and I can see Hamilton getting something.
Prediction: 1-1
