Rangers, assured of a second-placed finish in the Scottish Premiership, welcome European hopefuls Dundee United to Ibrox Stadium on Wednesday evening.
While the hosts have little at stake, the visitors remain in contention for a top-four finish, sitting fifth in the table and just three points outside of the European spots.
We say: Rangers 2-0 Dundee United
Rangers have dominated this fixture in recent years, and given Dundee Utd’s dismal three-game losing streak, we expect the hosts to secure another win in this one.

St Mirren and Hibernian lock horns in an important encounter that could sort out where the European places go in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday.
The hosts still have an outside chance of securing a Conference League spot for the second season running, while Hibs are in the driving seat to finish as the best of the rest behind Celtic and Rangers.
We say: St Mirren 1-1 Hibernian
St Mirren are unbeaten in the three meetings with Hibs this season, taking seven points, and have home advantage, but the visitors have had a very strong second half of the campaign, and are favoured slightly in the odds.
Despite losing both games on the road since the split, Hibs will have more of a chance here compared to at Celtic Park, and they should have enough to take something back to Edinburgh.

The most intriguing encounter in the Scottish Premiership this midweek comes from Dens Park, where relegation-candidates Dundee FC and Ross County go head-to-head on Wednesday.
Results at the weekend mean it is now a three-way battle to avoid the drop, and these two sides find themselves just above the automatic relegation spot, with the fixture likely to decide who will end up going into the playoff.
We say: Dundee 1-0 Ross County
Even though Ross County have won all three games against Dundee this season, they cannot buy a victory at the moment, losing seven in a row, scoring just four goals.
Dundee are hardly doing much better, but have been competitive in recent weeks, like when they won at Hearts, and were only narrowly edged out by Motherwell and Kilmarnock, and they are favourites to ensure their survival on home soil here.

Scottish Premiership basement dwellers St Johnstone are set to take on Hearts at Tynecastle Park on Wednesday evening in their penultimate league match.
The visitors are five points adrift of safety with only six points left to play for, while the hosts have already confirmed their survival in the top flight.
We say: Hearts 3-1 St Johnstone
While St Johnstone will be boosted by their recent victory and highly motivated as they continue to fight for survival, the hosts are undoubtedly the stronger side, and we expect Hearts to secure a comfortable victory.

Motherwell and Kilmarnock, two teams that have confirmed their safety in the Scottish Premiership, will clash in the penultimate fixture of the season on Wednesday.
The hosts secured their survival with a dramatic victory over Dundee at the start of the month, while the visitors similarly ensured their safety with a win over the Dark Blues at the weekend.
We say: Motherwell 1-1 Kilmarnock
With both teams having secured their Scottish Premiership survival, leaving little left to play for, and considering that three of their last five encounters have ended in draws, we anticipate another stalemate.

Aberdeen, battling to finish as the ‘best of the rest’ in the Scottish Premiership, will welcome champions Celtic to Pittodrie Stadium on Wednesday night.
The hosts are fourth in the table and three points behind third-placed Hibernian, while the visitors have already been crowned champions as they boast a 17-point lead at the top of the standings.
We say: Aberdeen 1-2 Celtic
Aberdeen are in desperate need of all three points as they continue battling for a European place, but given Celtic’s dominance in this fixture and strong form heading into the clash, we expect an away win.
