From DiegoforUtd on My Sport "Some good matches in store for us today. Every match can be seen as an important six-pointer!"

1416: Motherwell make two changes from the side that lost 3-0 to St Mirren in midweek. Stephen Craigan seems to have incurred manager Jim Gannon's wrath again and drops out along with Jamie Murphy. Ross Forbes and John Sutton are the guys coming into the starting line-up against Hearts.

1415: Some team news for Hearts fans from Fir Park. The Jambos are without captain Michael Stewart with an ankle injury, the man who scored the Co-operative Insurance Cup winner against Celtic in midweek, is replaced with Eggert Jonsson in midfield.

From DavidAttenborough on My Sport "Predictions for today: Celtic 3-0 Kilmarnock, Hibernian 1-1 Aberdeen, Motherwell 2-1 Hearts, St Johnstone 1-0 Falkirk, St Mirren 0-0 Hamilton."

1402: Early team news from Celtic Park, where the hosts make four changes to the side which lost to Hearts in the Co-operative Insurance Cup. Defender Glenn Loovens comes in for the suspended Stephen McManus. Paddy McCourt starts at the expense of Shaun Maloney, Scott McDonald and Georgios Samaras come in for Zheng Zhi and Chris Killen.

1400: From Edin-BEAR-ugh Bouncy Bouncy on My Sport "I can see Celtic dropping points again, and Hibs taking full advantage of this to move up the table!"

1358: Recent history points to a share of the spoils at Easter Road. Aberdeen have taken a point from five of their last six league visits at Hibernian.

1357: St Johnstone and Falkirk last met in a Scottish Cup fourth round tie in 2007, with the Perth side, then in the First Division, enjoying a 3-0 away win.

1355: You have to go back to December 1955 for the last time Kilmarnock won a league game at Celtic Park. David Curlett fired a double in a 2-0 win for the Ayrshire club. Bill Haley and his Comets were number 1 in the charts with Rock Around The Clock and cinema-goers were flocking to see Lady and the Tramp, and Oklahoma.

League leaders Celtic host Kilmarnock, it's Hibs against Aberdeen, Motherwell face Hearts, St Johnstone take on Falkirk and St Mirren entertain Hamilton.

1350: Good afternoon and welcome to week 10 of the Scottish Premier League season. We've got five games to get our teeth into today.
