Hibernian v Rangers (Sun, 12:00)

Hibernian midfielder Scott Allan has been ruled out with a health issue while loan winger Jamie Murphy is unavailable against his parent club. Sean Mackie is continuing his rehab while new midfield signing Stephen McGinn is in the squad. Tom James has been loaned to Wigan.

Rangers are confident forward Kemar Roofe has suffered no lasting damage after being replaced early during Thursday's win over Lincoln Red Imps. Defender Leon Balogun returns to the squad but Ryan Jack, Joe Aribo, Brandon Barker and Nikola Katic remain out.

Hibernian defender Alex Gogic: "[Rangers have] kept clean sheets, they've done really well. We've been doing well as well. We haven't conceded from open play, which is good so we'll just try and keep that going too."

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard: "We are going to go there and be on the front foot and be aggressive and bold. We're not going to Easter Road to set up defensively or to play for a draw. We're going there to win the game."

Aberdeen v Motherwell (Sun, 15:00)

Aberdeen are likely to rest defender Tommie Hoban while Michael Devlin, Sam Cosgrove and Ryan Edmundson remain out.

Motherwell have a doubt over Allan Campbell after the midfielder went off injured during their midweek win over Coleraine. Midfielder Robbie Crawford has joined on loan from Livingston while Harry Robinson has been loaned out to Queen of the South. Jake Carroll, Charles Dunne, Liam Donnelly and Scott Fox remain out.

Aberdeen midfielder Scott Wright: "Last season was a bit up and down. Getting a run in the team this season, I am just loving my football. Everyone is playing with freedom and going out and expressing themselves."

Motherwell defender Declan Gallagher: "Aberdeen got a great result away from home [against Viking] and it's massive for Scottish football that all the clubs do well. That's four teams still in European competition and if you look at all the ties we have all got, a really good chance of progressing into the play-off stages."

Did you know? None of the past 13 meetings of Aberdeen and Motherwell have been draws.
