Things were looking a bit shaky for Inverness Caley Thistle after opening the season with three Premiership defeats but the mood in Richie Foran's squad is much improved following a win over St Johnstone and draws against Aberdeen and Celtic.

Dundee have never won at the Caledonian Stadium and last season's draw specialists have already picked up one point from three of their six league outings.

Manager Paul Hartley has been having a pop at the media coverage of his team and will no doubt have a few press clippings up on the dressing room wall to get a response.

Louis Moult was the man of the moment last Saturday, marking his return to the Motherwell starting line up with four goals in a derby win over Hamilton.

If Partick Thistle want to move off the foot of the table, they will need to keep a close eye on the English striker.

The Jags showed commendable spirit last weekend to come from behind twice to draw at Kilmarnock and have won their last three home games against the Steelmen.

Celtic had a wee stumble last weekend, shipping a late equaliser at Inverness, but they sit top of the pile with a game in hand.

Unbeaten in the league, Brendan Rodgers' side welcome back striker Leigh Griffiths after a four-match break due to calf and hamstring problems but he can only make the bench, maybe with one eye on Wednesday's Champions League game with Manchester City.

Killie boss Lee Clark picked the same XI for back-to-back games for the first time last week but that will change since skipper Stevie Smith is out for up to a month with an ankle injury.

Last season, Killie managed two draws against the champions and lost to a last-minute screamer from Tom Rogic at Rugby Park in March.

Hearts missed the chance to go top of the league last Saturday, falling to defeat at St Johnstone, so they should be fired up today.

Manager Robbie Neilson has been able to field a largely settled side, which is bad news for Alim Ozturk, who can't get a look in and lost the captaincy to Perry Kitchen this week. If that wasn't bad enough, Neilson announced that contract talks with the Turkish defender have been put on hold.

Ross County have never won at Tynecastle but they stubbornly held on for a draw at Ibrox last weekend. The Staggies managed a share of the spoils on their last visit to Gorgie, following three victories for the Jambos last term.
