The Scottish Premiership title race has reached a fever pitch. After league leaders Hearts suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to St Mirren last night, the door is officially open. Tonight, Wednesday, February 4, 2026, five crucial fixtures will determine if the chasing pack can capitalize on the leaders’ slip-up.

From the high-stakes battle at Pittodrie to a massive survival scrap at Almondvale, here is your definitive preview for every match tonight.

🏟️ Aberdeen vs. Celtic

Kick-off: 20:00 GMT | Venue: Pittodrie Stadium
The mission for Celtic is clear: win and cut the gap at the summit to just three points. Brendan Rodgers’ side is in clinical form, but they must navigate this tricky away day without the suspended Auston Trusty. Aberdeen are desperate to stop the rot after a heavy defeat last weekend, but they face a Celtic attack led by the league’s joint-top scorer, Benjamin Nygren.

• Player to Watch: Benjamin Nygren (Celtic) – 13 goals.
• Key Stat: Celtic have won their last four visits to Pittodrie.
• The Tip: Celtic Win & Over 1.5 Goals.

🏟️ Rangers vs. Kilmarnock

Kick-off: 19:45 GMT | Venue: Ibrox
Rangers cannot afford another stalemate. Level on points with Celtic, the Gers need to find their scoring boots after a 0-0 draw in their previous outing. Kilmarnock are notorious for being difficult to break down, but they haven’t won at Ibrox in their last five attempts. Rangers’ defensive solidity—led by a backline that has kept five clean sheets in six home games—will be the foundation for their attack.

• Player to Watch: James Tavernier (Rangers) – Crucial for breaking low blocks.
• Key Stat: Killie have failed to score in 60% of their away games this season.
• The Tip: Rangers Win to Nil.

🏟️ Hibernian vs. Dundee United

Kick-off: 19:45 GMT | Venue: Easter Road
This is a massive “six-pointer” for the Top Six. Hibernian are currently 5th and full of confidence, while Dundee United arrive in a state of crisis. The visitors are missing two vital players, Panutche Camara and Amar Fatah, both serving suspensions. Hibs will look to exploit this lack of discipline to solidify their European ambitions.

• Player to Watch: Kieron Bowie (Hibs) – The physical forward is a nightmare for depleted defenses.
• Key Stat: Dundee Utd have received more red cards (4) than any other team in 2026.
• The Tip: Hibernian Moneyline.

🏟️ Dundee vs. Motherwell

Kick-off: 19:45 GMT | Venue: Dens Park
Motherwell are the league’s most underrated side, sitting comfortably in 4th. They boast the league’s most efficient goalkeeper in Danny Ward (12 clean sheets) and the deadly Tawanda Maswanhise. Dundee are struggling for goals and will find it incredibly difficult to penetrate a “Well” defense that has become a brick wall away from home.

• Player to Watch: Tawanda Maswanhise (Motherwell) – 13 goals this season.
• Key Stat: Motherwell are unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 league matches.
• The Tip: Motherwell Win (Draw No Bet).

🏟️ Livingston vs. Falkirk

Kick-off: 19:45 GMT | Venue: Almondvale
A clash of contrasting fortunes. Livingston are propped at the bottom of the table, winless in 22 league games and looking destined for the drop. They host Falkirk, the season’s surprise package, who are currently 6th. Falkirk’s high-energy transition play should be too much for a Livi side that has conceded the most goals in the division.

• Player to Watch: Calvin Miller (Falkirk) – The creative spark in midfield.
• Key Stat: Livingston have not kept a clean sheet since November.
• The Tip: Falkirk Away Win.
