First up, there's two 3pm kick-offs. Livingston take on Falkirk in a clash between last season's two promoted sides, while Stephen Robinson hosts his old club Motherwell at Paisley.
Finally, deflated Dundee visit Rangers, buoyant after their 3-0 win over Viktoria Plzen midweek.

Rangers are unbeaten in their last 17 meetings with Dundee in all competitions (W14 D3) since a 1-2 league defeat in November 2017 under Graeme Murty.
Dundee have lost each of their last 19 away games at Rangers in all competitions, a run that began in 2001. Only against five sides have Rangers ever won 20+ consecutive home matches in their history, most recently an ongoing run of 21 against Dunfermline Athletic from 1999 to 2021.
Rangers drew 1-1 with Motherwell on MD1, but the Gers haven’t failed to win both of their opening two matches of a Scottish Premiership campaign since 1989-90 under Graeme Souness (lost to St. Mirren and Hibernian).
In their opening day defeat to Hibernian last weekend, Dundee managed just two shots, their fewest in a Scottish Premiership home game since October 2018 vs Celtic (2). The Dee did, however, win three of their final five away league games last term (L2), as many as across their 17 matches prior.
Joe Rothwell has recorded three assists across his last eight league appearances, with each assist coming from a set piece (2 for Leeds, 1 for Rangers) – the midfielder created the joint-most chances (3) of any Rangers player on MD1 against Motherwell, including his assist via a corner for James Tavernier.
