Dundee United v Dundee (Sun, 13:30)

Ryan Strain and Ross Docherty miss out for Dundee United.

Strain has undergone surgery on a hamstring injury and will be out for about three months while Docherty should return from a calf problem later this month.

Ziyad Larkeche is in the running to make his Dundee debut.

Charlie Reilly, Clark Robertson and Joe Shaughnessy remain out injured.

St Mirren v Hibernian (Sun, 15:00)

Sunday's game will come too soon for St Mirren trio Caolan Boyd-Munce, Greg Kiltie and Conor McMenamin.

Striker Mikael Mandron failed a late fitness test before Thursday's Conference League win over Valur.

Hibernian will be without Elie Youan due to a leg knock while fellow forward Harry McKirdy is out with a chest infection.

Jake Doyle-Hayes is still working his way back to full fitness but Chris Cadden is available.

Celtic v Kilmarnock (Sun, 16:30)

Daizen Maeda is a major doubt for Celtic with a knee knock.

However, fellow winger Nicolas Kuhn has shrugged off a back injury.

Kilmarnock could have new defender signings Oliver Bainbridge and Corrie Ndaba in their squad.

But Kyle Magennis is being phased into action following last season's injury issues.

St Johnstone v Aberdeen (Mon, 19:45)

St Johnstone will be without Nicky Clark, Aaron Essel, Uche Ikpeazu and Andre Raymond.

Aberdeen are without injured midfielders Leighton Clarkson and Dante Polvara, while striker Luis 'Duk' Lopes is also unavailable.
