Last week's Scottish Premiership card looked like being a succession of largely comfortable home wins until Rangers snatched a dramatic late win at Dundee and Dundee United secured a narrow victory at Ross County.

But what will this weekend - the penultimate round of fixtures before the league split - throw up?

Here are some names and games that could have a big say...

The last time Rangers and Hibernian met, they drew 3-3. Since then, both have been involved in goal-laden games, which whets the appetite for this encounter.

Hibs are front-runners to finish third - quite the turnaround since November when they were bottom.

Only Celtic - in the league and Scottish Cup - have beaten them in the interim as David Gray's side have amassed 10 league wins and five draws.

They are also scoring goals for fun - 48 in the Premiership.

Rangers, on the other hand, are leaking goals. They've conceded 12 under interim head coach Barry Ferguson, who bemoaned "old habits" after the win at Dundee.

The former Ibrox captain is yet to enjoy an Ibrox victory since replacing Philippe Clement, but did celebrate a penalty shootout triumph over Fenerbahce in the Europa League.

The table is set, the ingredients are in place, it's over to Rangers and Hibs to serve up another football feast.

Among those challenging Daizen Maeda for the Premiership's golden boot is Dundee's Simon Murray.

The 33-year-old forward and Dundee United counterpart Sam Dalby both sit on 13 league goals, two behind Celtic's Maeda.

Murray netted his fifth in six games in last weekend's loss to Rangers.

It's St Mirren at home for Dundee on Saturday and Murray scored both when the sides last met in Paisley in December, sealing a 2-1 victory for Tony Docherty's side.

A repeat performance would be welcomed by his manager, with the Dark Blues still second bottom, five points above St Johnstone.

Murray is no stranger to a relegation scrap, having helped County survive the play-offs over the past two seasons, and seems just the sort of character that relishes such a battle.

The race for top-six places is predictably tight. Only Celtic, Rangers, Hibs and Aberdeen are assured a finish in the top half.

Dundee United, Hearts, St Mirren and Motherwell are all vying for the final two places and County are not arithmetically out of the race just yet.

For Motherwell and their new manager Michael Wimmer, securing a place among the elite would vindicate his recent appointment.

The German has two wins and a draw from his opening five games, including a victory at Ibrox. However, Saturday's 4-1 loss at Aberdeen was a set-back as St Mirren and United made gains with wins.

On Saturday, the Fir Park side take a trip to face a Kilmarnock team smarting from a 5-1 defeat by St Mirren and already consigned to the bottom six.

Motherwell are unbeaten in the fixture going back almost 16 months and maintaining that record could be crucial to where Wimmer's side end this season.
