The top two teams in the Scottish Premiership meet at lunchtime on Saturday as Brendan Rodgers takes his Celtic side to face their League Cup final opponents Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
There's a full card of fixtures tomorrow after the midweek matches saw Celtic stretch their lead at the head of the table to seven points after Aberdeen's loss to Hamilton Accies.
St Johnstone moved up to third following a 1-1 draw at Ibrox, while Hearts missed the chance to go second after a 2-0 defeat to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
At the other end of the table Dundee remain rooted to the bottom after their sixth straight defeat, with Motherwell dropping to 11th after their defeat at home to Inverness CT.
Sky Sports Scotland commentary team Ian Crocker and Andy Walker are on hand to discuss their predictions and players to watch this weekend.
Aberdeen v Celtic - Saturday - Live on Sky Sports 5 from 11.30am.
Aberdeen won both of last season's league encounters with Celtic at Pittodrie 2-1 which helped keep their title challenge going throughout the season. Aberdeen are one of three teams in the Scottish Premiership who remain unbeaten at home so far this campaign, with Celtic and Rangers being the other two.
Celtic have dropped just two points in their opening nine league matches, scoring 30 goals and conceding just eight.
Andy Walker's prediction:
Aberdeen 1-1 Celtic
Key player: Ryan Jack
The captain is finally getting back to full fitness and Aberdeen will need a good performance in midfield to nullify Celtic.
Ian Crocker's prediction:
Aberdeen 2-3 Celtic
Key player: Moussa Dembele
Even managed to sneak a goal as a midweek sub. He and Celtic seem unstoppable. Over to you Aberdeen.
Hamilton Accies v Dundee - Saturday 3pm
Dundee haven't won a game of football since the opening day of the Premiership season with only three draws in the 10 matches since then.
Hamilton Accies have scored in every single one of their league fixtures this season but have lost 16 points from winning positions, seven more than any other side.
Andy Walker's prediction:
Hamilton Accies 1-1 Dundee
Key player: Michael Devlin
Martin Canning will be delighted to have his captain back after an outstanding performance in the midweek win over Aberdeen.
Ian Crocker's prediction:
Hamilton Accies 1-2 Dundee
Key player: Marcus Haber
Can the new arrival answer Dundee's goalscoring problems and stop the rot of six defeats in a row?
Inverness CT v Hearts - Saturday 3pm
Inverness CT last conceded at home against Hearts in the league back in November 2012, and have kept four clean sheets since then.
Hearts have only managed six goals in their last eight Premiership away matches and failed to score in five of those.
Andy Walker's prediction:
Inverness CT 0-2 Hearts
Key player: Robbie Muirhead
Got his first 90 minutes for Hearts during the week and may have a bigger role to play now.
Ian Crocker's prediction:
Inverness CT 1-1 Hearts
Key player: Liam Polworth
The local boy has been extremely impressive of late, with three goals in the last five games and he's started every match this season.
Motherwell v Ross County - Saturday 3pm
Motherwell haven't kept a clean sheet against Ross County in their last 12 encounters in the league and have lost their last three Premiership matches.
Ross County haven't won in eight games and have scored just twice during that run.
Andy Walker's prediction:
Motherwell 0-1 Ross County
Key player: Alex Schalk
County need to start scoring goals and can't always rely on Liam Boyce.
Ian Crocker's prediction:
Motherwell 1-0 Ross County
Key player: Scott McDonald
Both teams are toiling. Might need a wily old striker to settle the issue!
Rangers v Kilmarnock - Saturday 3pm
Rangers are unbeaten in nine Premiership matches at Ibrox and have conceded just three goals in that time.
Kilmarnock seem to have turned their defensive problems around as they have let in just one goal in their last three having shipped 12 in the three matches beforehand.
Andy Walker's prediction
Rangers 2-1 Kilmarnock
Key player: Josh Windass
Has the potential to be Rangers' playmaker in the middle of the park.
Ian Crocker's prediction:
Rangers 2-1 Kilmarnock
Key player: Andy Halliday
This is a game that may need grabbing by the scruff of its neck!
St Johnstone v Partick Thistle - Saturday 3pm
St Johnstone came out on top in the most recent meeting between these sides but Partick Thistle won the five previous to that.
Thistle kept their first clean sheet in nine games mid-week but haven't managed to put two in a row since April.
Andy Walker's prediction:
St Johnstone 2-0 Partick Thistle
Key player: Blair Alston
Looks like he's starting to settle in to the St Johnstone team, especially after his spectacular hit against Rangers!
Ian Crocker's prediction:
St Johnstone 1-0 Partick Thistle
Key player: Steven MacLean
Given a breather midweek, ready to go again in what should be a close contest.
