Celtic thrash Dundee
The runaway Celts faced Dundee last Wednesday, and - as expected - were no match for the Dee, beating them 6-0 in Glasgow.
It was a catch-up fixture, the result of which has now made it even more unlikely that Rangers will be able to catch the reigning champions.
Celtic boast 66 points after 25 matches played - 13 ahead of the Gers.
In fact, Brendan Rodgers' team are just eight wins away from mathematically claiming the Premiership title regardless of how well Rangers do.
Up next for Celtic is Dundee Utd, who are sitting pretty in third, on Saturday.
Rangers travel to Hearts
Following on from the previous point, the Gers are up against an in-form Hearts side in their next match.
The eye-catching clash will be played in Edinburgh, which only adds to the pressure for Rangers if they're to keep Celtic at least checking over their shoulders.
Hearts are unbeaten in their previous six Premiership matches, winning four and drawing two.
Rangers, though, are unbeaten in their last eight league matches, drawing three and winning five - which includes a 3-0 victory over Celtic.
Hearts have picked up as many points in their last five games as both the Celts and the Gers, so another three points gained for the Jam Tarts would be quite the coup as they look to leapfrog Motherwell into sixth.
St Mirren host Hibs
Hibernian are in a fine bit of form - indeed, only Celtic, Rangers and Hearts have picked up more points in their last five matches.
They travel to St Mirren this week and will be looking to further extend their climb up the table.
Hibs are currently sixth in the Premiership standings, while the Saints are slumped down in eighth after losing five of their last six matches.
A 3-0 win over fourth-placed Aberdeen a fortnight ago might give St Mirren the confidence they need to deliver Hibernian a shock.
Although unlikely, a 4-0 victory against Hibs would see the hosts leapfrog their visitors ahead of the 27th round of fixtures.
