We are getting up and running around the country...

It's a relegation crunch at the Hope Stadium with Hamilton four points above second-bottom St Mirren.

Accies have incurred the wrath of manager Brian Rice after shipping seven goals in back-to-back defeats without scoring. But they've won of the last three at home and been a bogey team for St Mirren, winning six of the past seven meetings in Lanarkshire.

St Mirren's away form is a worry - their seven points pocketed on the road is the fewest in the Premiership. And Hamilton has been an unhappy hunting ground for them, losing the past three visits and failing to score in seven.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon tells Sportsound that he was '"delighted" to see his former side, Hibs, win the Edinburgh derby.

"It’s a great win for them," he says.

As for his present team, he says: "We want to see performances and results together.

"We know we're two wins away from the title. Our focus is beating a very good Livingston side today. We’ve had a lot of injuries, but we’ve good players coming back into the squad.

"The only real enemy of players is complacency. My players have got to be professional play their football and score goals."

Dundee boss Jim McIntyre says the management team are trying to take some of the pressure off their struggling side, given they are currently occupying the relegation spot.

"We're trying to give them that freedom to just go out there and play, but it's difficult when you're on that poor run that we are on, but we have to keep believing and hopefully it will turn as football can," he says.

"The next game is the next cup final, we've one got today and then five cup finals after this. We've got to put on a performance today and try and pick up points which will put pressure on elsewhere."

We will will be keeping an eye on Palmerston Park, where Stephen Dobbie could equal a club record for the amount of goals in one season if he nets his 41st today.

Both Steve Clarke and Tommy Wright have been praising praising specific forward players who have been offering lots to their respective sides of late.

For Killie, Rory McKenzie’s performances have been impressive and Kilmarnock manager Clarke says he’s been patient this season, often playing second fiddle to Chris Burke in that wide attacking position.

Callum Hendry gets the plaudits from St Johnstone counterpart Wright, who is pleased to see the striker making the most of his run in the team after a frustrating season of injury niggles.

Hearts manager Craig Levein tells Sportsound he's going nowhere despite some very angry fans making their feelings plain after that derby sickening.

"Listen, when we lose to Hibs, I expect to hear boos and nobody's more disappointed than me," Levein says.

"We've got a semi-final next week and the chance to go to Hampden for the final game of the season. My focus is completely on that. So I'll be here for a while yet.

"I don't know where [speculation] has come from. People say I'm moving to Spain - I don't even like Spain.

"I'm fully focused, I was happy with our performance today. Losing against Hibs is always sore for everybody and nobody hurts as much as I do."

After a blistering run of form, Scottish League One leaders Arbroath have only won once in their last five matches.

They're still 10 points clear of Raith Rovers with15 up for grabs and will be eager to maintain their title push at home to Montrose.

The visitors themselves are embroiled in a promotion battle - they're level on points with fourth-placed East Fife, who travel to Airdrieonians, just three points back.

Rovers face a trip to bottom side Stenhousemuir, two points adrift of Stranraer, who host third-placed Forfar Athletic.

There's a huge match at the bottom end of the Championship with eighth-placed Falkirk hosting basement side Alloa Athletic.

Falkirk are level on points with second-bottom Partick Thistle and they are both just three clear of Jim Goodwin's Alloa.

Thistle thumped Greenock Morton a week ago and host Dunfermline Athletic today, with the Pars six points adrift of the play-off spots.

At the other end of the table, Inverness Caledonian Thistle can leapfrog Ayr United into third place with victory at Somerset Park.

Speaking before today's game at Dundee,Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland they do not want to just be a "cup team" this season, having failed to pick up as many points as they would have liked at home in recent weeks.

"Our away record has been very strong and other than a poor 30 minutes in the second half at Tynecastle last week, I've been really pleased with how we've been on the road," he says. "So hopefully we can get back to that today and put in a winning performance.

"We've got a strong record here and, although we're pushing for that European spot, Dundee will be fighting for their lives, so there's no certainties."

The game at Dens Park definitely falls into the high-stakes category.

The hosts are bottom of the table and have lost their last six games.

But the victory is crucial for fourth-placed Aberdeen too, not only to help their mission to secure a European place.

A win would also put them in good spirits going into next weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final with Celtic.

St Mirren boss Oran Kearney should have plenty of fresh legs in his side as he makes seven changes to the team beaten 2-0 at home by Celtic in midweek.

Anton Ferdinand, Stephen McGinn, Laurentiu Corbu, Jim Kellerman, Cammy MacPherson, Cody Cooke and Duckens Nazon all drop out. In come Paul MGinn, Ethan Erhahon, Anders Dreyer, Danny Mullen, Brad Lyons, Ryan Flynn and Simeon Jackson.

Hamilton manager Brice Rice shakes up his line-up to a lesser extent, with four alterations from Wednesday's 2-0 loss at Livingston.

Matthew Kilgallon, Steve Davies, Mickel Miller and Alex Gogic are handed starts, while Tony Andreu, Scott Martin, Delphin Tshiembe and David McMillan make way.

BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

Hibs head coach Paul Heckingbottom on Sportsound: "One thing I had in my head was celebrating in front of the fans at the end and luckily we've been able to do it thanks to some real guts and determination from the players.

"We had to make a tactical change and then we were much better. Regardless, we knew they'd be a threat from set-plays, we knew when we went in front they'd just throw bodies in the box. In terms of height, they were far superior, so we had to win the game a different way.

"Daryl Horgan has worked so hard the time we've been here. It's great he's got the goals."

James Horsfield and Kenny Miller are on the Dundee bench for kick off at Dens Park, with Cammy Kerr and Craig Curran the only changes in Jim McIntyre's starting line-up since their midweek loss to St Johnstone.

They've now lost their last six Premiership games, the worst run in the league this season. McIntyre's side have in fact only won four games so far.

They've also lost their last 11 meetings with Aberdeen - none of which bodes well for the league's struggling bottom side.
