Aberdeen play host to crisis club Gretna while the top four all have the afternoon off.

Aberdeen (8) v Gretna (12)

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood is set to welcome back Steve Lovell (foot), Jackie McNamara and Darren Mackie (both hamstring) from injury, while Barry Nicholson is free from suspension. However, Jamie Smith, Richie Byrne, Stuart Duff (all hamstring) and Derek Young (knee) are still out.

Gretna's squad for their first game since entering administration is likely to be fleshed out with youth-team players. The club have struggled to raise a team following the revelation they were close to going out of business. Goalkeeper Greg Fleming is expected to be among the absent players.

Hibernian (5) v Kilmarnock (10)

Hibernian manager Mixu Paatelainen faces a midfield injury crisis. Brian Kerr (ankle), Merouane Zemmama (knee) and Ross Chisholm (elbow) are all doubtful, while Guillaume Beuzelin (knee) is ruled out. Ian Murray is also suspended but Dean Shiels is back from a ban and Ross Campbell and Abdel Zarabi return to the squad.

Kilmarnock will be without Martyn Corrigan because the former Motherwell defender has an ankle injury. Winger Allan Johnston has a calf injury and forward Paul Dalglish is carrying a groin problem, making both men doubtful.

Inverness CT (9) v Falkirk (6)

Inverness have no injury concerns, with player-manager Craig Brewster having a full squad to pick from. However, he may make changes to the side beaten 3-0 by Hearts at the Caledonian Stadium on March 1.

Falkirk manager John Hughes hopes defender Jack Ross and midfielder Arnau Riera will be available. Long-term absentees Tim Krul (shoulder) and Dean Holden (leg) are still out. Striker Michael Higdon is back training following a knee operation but is not fit enough to take part.

Motherwell (4) v Celtic (2) - Postponed

St Mirren (11) v Hearts (7)

St Mirren have no injury problems to contend with. Richard Brittain and Stephen O'Donnell are both back in training after broken foot injuries but will not be hurried back. David Barron could be back in the team after a recent groin injury.

Hearts hope to have midfielders Michael Stewart and Andy Driver fit. Striker Christian Nade is rated 50/50 with a pelvic problem while influential midfielder Laryea Kingston (foot) and defender Ibrahim Tall (back) remain sidelined.
