Matchday 9 talking points

This is an evenly matched fixture. Both sides have shown similar consistency in recent games (Aberdeen: 1W-2D-3L; St. Mirren: 1W-1D-4L). Home advantage could prove the marginal difference in what should be a tight contest.

Rangers arrive having won 6 of their last 6 matches — the form team in this fixture. Despite facing a home side, their consistency and confidence make them difficult to bet against.
Celtic's defensive solidity stands out — 3 clean sheets in 6 games. If they can keep Heart of Midlothian off the scoresheet, their home support and structure should be enough to grind out a narrow win.
