  1. Unchanged Saints; two changes for Countypublished at 19:15 British Summer Time 15 May

    St Johnstone v Ross County (19:45)

    Craig Levein said the 2-1 loss to Livingston was one of St Johnstone's best performances this season, so it's maybe no surprise that he makes no changes.

    Don Cowie swaps two for the crunch match in Perth, following a surprise 5-1 home loss to Motherwell.

    Josh Reid and Eamonn Brophy drop to the bench, with George Harmon and Jordan White coming in.

  2. Four St Mirren changes; Shankland on benchpublished at 19:13 British Summer Time 15 May

    St Mirren v Hearts (15:00)

    The line-ups have a very end-of-season feel to them in Paisley. St Mirren make four changes.

    Ryan Strain, Marcus Fraser, Caolan Boyd-Munce, and Toyosi Olusanya drop out. In come Jadon Brown, Richard Taylor, Keanu Baccus, and James Scott.

    Hearts make five changes as Lawrence Shankland starts on the bench, while Stephen Kingsley is injured. Beni Baningime is out of the squad while Kenneth Vargas and Barrie McKay are on the bench.

    They're replaced by Toby Sibbick, Frankie Kent, Aidan Denholm, Scott Fraser, and Kyosuke Tagawa.

    Liam Boyce is among the substitutes for the first time since 2 December.

  3. Big one at the bottompublished at 19:11 British Summer Time 15 May

    St Johnstone v Ross County (19:45)

    St Johnstone currently occupy the dreaded play-off spot but they can leapfrog opponents Ross County with a win in Perth.

    Three points for the visitors would consign Saints to 11th place before the final weekend.

    St Johnstone have won the last two meetings 1-0 but have never managed three in a row against the Dingwall side in the top flight.

    Home form is not great either, with Craig Levein's men without a victory in eight league games in front of their own fans.

    County's form on the road has been abject. They are winless in 16 away league matches.

  4. Or can Killie sink Celtic again?published at 19:09 British Summer Time 15 May

    Kilmarnock v Celtic (19:30)

    Celtic may only need a point for a third successive title, but this might just be the last place they'd pick to get it.

    Kilmarnock have only lost one of their four meetings with Celtic in all competitions this season, winning twice at Rugby Park.

    Killie have never managed three victories over Celtic in a single season.

  5. Another celebration for Celtic?published at 19:07 British Summer Time 15 May

    Kilmarnock v Celtic (19:30)

    The Celtic title party was in full swing after last Saturday's Old Firm victory.

    But it's not quite done yet, which means fans can get to celebrate all over again.

    The defending champions need to find one point - at Rugby Park this evening or at home to St Mirren - to officially get over the line.

    The table toppers have timed their run very nicely, winning six in an unbeaten run of seven in the Premiership.

    Celtic haven't won their final away league game since 2018 (D3 L2) but so often they have had the title firmly sewn up by now.

  6. Celtic's Idah in for Kyogo as Killie switch keeperspublished at 19:04 British Summer Time 15 May

    Kilmarnock v Celtic (19:30)

    Brendan Rodgers makes one change to the Celtic side that started Saturday's Old Firm win, and it's a notable one.

    Kyogo Furuhashi drops to the bench and is replaced by Adam Idah up top.

    It's also just one switch for Kilmarnock following the weekend win at St Mirren.

    It comes in goal, with Will Dennis dropped for Kieran O'Hara, who plays his first game since January.

  12. Celtic one point away from glorypublished at 18:55 British Summer Time 15 May

    Is this the night Celtic are crowned champions?

    Brendan Rodgers' side need to avoid defeat at Rugby Park to reach an unassailable position at the summit of the Scottish Premiership.

    But Killie are flying this season and have beaten Celtic twice already, so it's no easy mission.

    We have another four top flight fixtures coming up too, including a scrap between St Johnstone and Ross County, who are vying to avoid the relegation play-off.

    Let's get this show on the road...
