Top-six climax near, McGregor back & Clement task

It was meant to be the Scottish Premiership's big finale before the top flight splits into two sections of six.

Motherwell must beat Hibs and hope sixth-placed Dundee take nothing from their visit to Aberdeen on Saturday or from their eventual meeting with Rangers. Now the Edinburgh side need to quell renewed disquiet from some fans over head coach Nick Montgomery and hope to end a run of four away games without a victory - and only one win in five overall.

Motherwell are seeking a second top-six finish in three years, while a second failure for Hibs over the same period would heap pressure on Montgomery. It's make-or-break time.Callum McGregor made a feisty return from injury for Celtic at Ibrox In the Scotland midfielder's absence from the starting XI, Celtic have scored at least three goals in each of their last four games, but two of those were victories over bottom side Livingston and one over lowly St Johnstone.

However, Motherwell's surprise Ibrox victory in March ended an 11-game winning run and, although Celtic themselves slipped up the following day against Hearts, it was a missed opportunity that appears to have allowed an element of fragility to creep back into the Ibrox side.
