Tomorrow sees the remaining three games take place with Celtic welcoming Dundee United to Parkhead, Hibs and St Johnstone going head-to-head in the capital and St. Mirren playing host to Aberdeen in the lunchtime kick-off.

Hearts v Livingston

After drawing 2-2 with Ross County last weekend, Hearts will be looking to get back to winning ways while Livi boss David Martindale was left sweating over the fitness of a few of his players ahead of the Tynecastle clash.

Motherwell v Ross County

Motherwell boss Graham Alexander could take his side top of the table if results go their way – despite being stung by critics claiming Ross County’s difficult start to the season was over. County boss Malky Mackay will be hoping his men can record their first win of the season and start climbing up the league.
