Bottom club Livingston are 12 points adrift, with just 15 to play for.

They've only won three games all season, so the prospect of pulling off five in a row is something of a stretch.

Even a draw today is no use given Ross County's vastly superior goal difference.

County, aiming to get out of the play-off place, stunned Rangers in Dingwall last time out, but have gone 15 games on the road without a win.

For what could be one of the most important games for Livingston there may be one of the lowest crowds.

There is a very small but loyal home following and, although The Staggies come here in fine form, they arrive in West Lothian with only a hardy band to cheer them on.

Livingston are hanging on to their Premiership life by their fingernails.

Interim County boss Don Cowie has not hidden the fact he wants the job on a permanent basis and a win today could go a long way to secure that.

Craig Levein makes three changes as he searches for a fourth win against Hibs on the trot as a manager.

Liam Gordon comes back to skipper the Saints side, with Graham Carey and 16-year-old Fran Franczak also starting. Max Kucheriavyi and Dave Keltjens drop to the bench, with Tony Gallacher out completely.

Only one change for Hibs, with Elie Youan dropping out of the squad. He's replaced by 37-year-old Adam Le Fondre, who returns to the starting XI after a week on the bench.

Luke Amos and Lewis Miller were rumoured to be on the way back from injury but are missing once again.

After his two wonderful crosses set up late goals against Celtic at Hampden last week, Junior Hoilett comes in to start for Duk in Aberdeen's only change.

Motherwell have had two weeks off after snatching a late draw against Hibernian and go with the same XI again.

Theo Bair will aim to add to his 13 goals this season.

Hearts boss Steven Naismith opts to make three changes following the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers.

There's rotation in goal as Zander Clark comes back to replace veteran Craig Gordon. A back three is also re-introduced, with wing-backs Dexter Lembikisa and Alex Cochrane replacing Alan Forrest and Nathaniel Atkinson. Forrest drops to the bench, whilst Atkinson misses out entirely.

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes makes one change after defeating St Johnstone a fortnight ago as he reverts back to his tried and tested 4-4-2.

Full-back Robbie Deas is brought back into the fold, replacing midfielder David Watson.

There's just one change at the Tony Macaroni Arena, with Bruce Anderson replacing the injured Tete Yengi in Livingston's attack following their 4-2 loss at Hearts a fortnight ago.

Ross County field the same starting XI as they did in their last game, a 3-2 win over Rangers.

It's all done and dusted at the top, but there's still a three-way tussle to avoid a Pyramid play-off with big-spending East Kilbride.

Clyde are bottom and will stay there if if they lose to East Fife and Bonnyrigg Rose avoid defeat at champions Stenhousemuir and Stranraer win away to Forfar Athletic.

We all know why East Kilbride are not play Buckie Thistle today, right?We don't have enough time to get into that stooshie.

You can read about it all here.

There's one promotion play-off spot up for grabs in the third tier and Montrose can snaffle it if they beat Kelty Hearts and Cove Rangers lose at Queen of the South.

At the other end of the table, Stirling Albion currently occupy ninth place but they take on already relegated Edinburgh City, who have won just three games all season.

Annan Athletic and Queen of the South are the teams Stirling Albion can overtake.

Dundee United officially got over the finish line at Airdrie last night, having had their promotion party at Tannadice last weekend.

Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle and Airdrieonians can look forward to the play-offs, but it's not quite settled at the bottom.

If Queen's Park lose away to relegated Arbroath and Inverness Caley Thistle win away at Dunfermline, then the Glasgow side are set for a survival play-off.

If the cards don't fall that way, that scrap will go to the final weekend.

Still a few issues to be resolved in the lower leagues.

Let's take a quick look.

We're on the home stretch in the Scottish Premiership as the post-split fixtures begin.

The title race takes a back seat, with both Celtic and Rangers playing tomorrow, but there's still plenty going on.

Hearts have been free and clear in third for a long time and can seal 'best of the rest' status with a win at Kilmarnock, who are their nearest challengers.

It's last orders in the Last Chance Saloon for Livingston, who will be consigned to relegation if they lose at home to 11th-placed Ross County.
