Celtic host Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership this weekend as they edge closer to lifting a fourth consecutive league title.
The hosts would have had the opportunity to seal the title with a win in this match, but defeat away to St Johnstone last Sunday made that mathematically impossible.
We say: Celtic 3-0 Kilmarnock
Celtic are waiting to get their title party started, and they should do their part this weekend in a routine win against Kilmarnock.
The gap between the two sides has been clear in their previous meetings this season, and we expect another comfortable victory for the Hoops in this clash.

St Johnstone travel to the CalForth Construction Arena this weekend to face Dundee United in the latest match in their battle against relegation from the Scottish Premiership.
The Saints are currently bottom of the table, having secured 29 points from their 32 league matches this season.
We say: Dundee United 2-0 St Johnstone
The visitors are on a high following their shock win over Celtic, but we still expect Dundee United to win this clash.
They are having an excellent season, and they are very strong at the back, so we think they keep a clean sheet here and win relatively comfortably.

Motherwell host Hearts in a top-six decider in the Scottish Premiership at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon.
With just one match remaining before the league splits in half for the final five games, any of Motherwell, St Mirren or Hearts could still secure a top-half finish.
We say: Motherwell 1-1 Hearts
This is not the result that either side will be hoping for this weekend, but we see this game ending in a draw.
As the table and their previous meetings this season suggest, there is little to separate these two teams, and this result would allow St Mirren to leapfrog Hearts in the standings, provided that they secure three points against Ross County.

St Mirren’s push for a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership goes down to the wire on Saturday, as they take on struggling Ross County at the SMISA Stadium.
The hosts are currently in seventh place in the table, sandwiched between Hearts and Motherwell, with those two clubs facing off at the same time on Saturday afternoon.
We say: St Mirren 1-0 Ross County
We think that this game will be tight, as St Mirren have found it difficult to win at home since the turn of the year.
However, Ross County do not travel well, and we feel that the hosts will just edge it, to potentially seal a place in the top six, depending on how Hearts perform away at Motherwell.
