Teams news, stats and how to follow the seventh round of fixtures in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic hosting Dundee Utd and Rangers at Dundee.
St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin expects to have an unchanged squad for Sunday's Premiership encounter with Aberdeen.
Charles Dunne (hamstring) and Greg Kiltie (knee) remain on the sidelines, but both are described by the manager as "making great progress" in their comeback bids.
Defender Dunne should be back after the next international break, with attacker Kiltie due to return in late October.
Ryan Hedges is set to return from a hamstring injury for Aberdeen with manager Stephen Glass weighing up whether to start the Welshman or bring him off the bench.
Fellow attacker Marley Watkins remains out with his own hamstring injury. Andy Considine is a long-term absentee following knee surgery.
How to follow: St Mirren vs Aberdeen will be shown live on Sky Sports Football and Main Event from 11am on Sunday; kick-off 12pm.
Sky Sports customers can watch in-game clips in the live match blog on the Sky Sports website and app. Highlights will also be published on the Sky Sports digital platforms and the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel shortly after the final whistle.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has eight players out for Sunday's Premiership clash with Dundee United - most of them attackers.
Giorgos Giakoumakis (calf), Mikey Johnston (niggle), Karamoko Dembele (ankle), James Forrest (unspecified) and Kyogo Furuhashi (knee) are all missing from the forward ranks.
Defenders Greg Taylor (shoulder) and Christopher Jullien (knee) are also missing along with midfielder Callum McGregor (hamstring).
Dundee United boss Tam Courts is set to be without his main striker after Marc McNulty suffered a hamstring injury in the Premier Sports Cup quarter final defeat by Hibernian.
The Tannadice manager is also sweating on the fitness of Charlie Mulgrew after he went off with muscle tightness on Thursday, although he is hopeful that the veteran defender was substituted before any significant damage was done.
Courts has a decision to make over which goalkeeper to start after alternating between Benjamin Siegrist and Trevor Carson in recent games, while defender Liam Smith is battling to shake off the knock that has kept him out of the last two matches.

Hibernian head coach Jack Ross hopes to have an unchanged squad for the visit of St Johnstone.
With James Scott having returned to the squad for the midweek win over Dundee United after a bout of illness, that would mean everyone being available except the club's four long-term absentees.
Jamie Murphy (hamstring), Sean Mackie (foot), Christian Doidge (Achilles) and Melker Hallberg (knee) all face at least several more weeks on the sidelines.
Saints are likely to be without defender James Brown after the defender tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's win at Dundee.
Murray Davidson (back) remains doubtful after missing the Dens Park trip. Cammy MacPherson (shoulder), Liam Gordon (knee) and Craig Bryson (knee) are all still sidelined by injury.
