Saturday 3rd October
15:00 Hamilton vs St Johnstone
Guillaume Beuzelin could make his Hamilton debut in Saturday's SPL game against St Johnstone.
Former Hibernian star Beuzelin joined Accies this week on a three-month contract and is likely to be in the squad against Saints.
Fellow midfielder Simon Mensing will be given until the last moment to shake off a hamstring problem, while Derek Lyle (knee), James Gibson (knee) and Alex Neil (hip) are all long-term casualties.
St Johnstone team boss Derek McInnes has one big doubt for the SPL clash at New Douglas Park - but has refused to identify the player.
Kevin Rutkiewicz and Graeme Smith played in a closed-door this week after recovering from knee and thigh injuries respectively and are back in contention.
Striker Steven Milne returns from the knock which caused him to miss last week's defeat against Dundee United.
15:00 Hibernian vs Dundee Utd
Defenders Ian Murray and Darren McCormack are both available for Hibernian's SPL clash with Dundee United.
Murray was laid low by flu this week but has recovered sufficiently, while Darren McCormack has shaken off the hamstring strain which saw him miss last weekend's win at Motherwell.
McCormack now faces a fight with David Wotherspoon and the fit-again Kevin McCann for the right-back slot.
The Tangerines have several selection worries ahead of Saturday's game.
Top scorer Danny Cadamarteri has not trained properly all week after suffering a dead leg, while defender Andy Webster has been another absentee with a groin problem.
Skipper Lee Wilkie has been laid low by a flu virus so is likely to miss out, Danny Swanson is suspended and long-term crocks Francisco Sandaza and Jon Daly remain out.
But one plus for the Tangerines is the return of Morgaro Gomis after a calf problem.
15:00 Kilmarnock vs Aberdeen
Kilmarnock have been boosted by the return of Craig Bryson from injury for the visit of Aberdeen in the SPL.
The midfielder played in a closed-door game in midweek where he was joined by Allan Russell, Jamie Adams and James Fowler, all of whom are back from long-term injuries although none are expected to start against The Dons.
Midfielder Manuel Pascali is banned again after being sent off in the reserves last season, with his dismissal against Rangers a fortnight ago taking him over the points threshold.
Aberdeen face a defensive headache ahead of Saturday's trip to Rugby Park.
Summer signing Jerel Ifil has joined Zander Diamond (foot) and Davide Grassi (cheekbone) on the sidelines, although his hamstring injury is not expected to keep him out beyond the international break.
Winger Sone Aluko remains with the Nigeria squad at the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt.
15:00 Motherwell vs Falkirk
Motherwell will be looking to pile the pressure on hapless Falkirk during their meeting on Saturday.
Well slipped to their first defeat of the season last time out against Hibernian and will be looking for a positive response to that setback.
The Bairns have yet to record their opening success of the campaign, but have taken three draws from their last three outings.
Motherwell midfielder Tom Hateley is a slight doubt ahead of the weekend encounter.
Hateley has a hamstring injury but is optimistic he will make the game.
Paul Slane (calf) and Shaun Hutchinson (ankle) have yet to return to full training.
Falkirk will have Scott Arfield back from an ankle injury for the trip to Fir Park.
However, manager Eddie May has several injury worries ahead of the game.
Thomas Scobbie and Danijel Marceta both went off injured against Kilmarnock, while Ryan Flynn and Vitor Lima both struggled through the game.
15:00 St Mirren vs Hearts
St Mirren will be without Michael Higdon after the striker picked up a knee injury last weekend.
Mo Camara and Steven Robb are still out but Lee Mair returns from suspension.
Hearts will welcome back midfielder Ruben Palazuelos and left-back Lee Wallace from a stomach bug and a hip problem, respectively.
Defender Marius Zaliukas is struggling to shake off a knock, while Gary Glen, Callum Elliot and Eggert Jonsson remain sidelined for the Edinburgh side.
Sunday 4th October
12:30 Rangers vs Celtic
Rangers host Celtic in the first Old Firm derby of the season, with the champions in danger of falling seven points adrift of their bitter rivals.
Walter Smith's side go into the eagerly-anticipated Ibrox encounter on the back of three successive Scottish Premier League draws, which have allowed the Bhoys to move four points clear in the early standings.
The Gers also suffered a confidence-battering 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Spanish side Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Tony Mowbray's Celtic were also in continental action in midweek, coming from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against Rapid Vienna in their Europa League encounter, in a match billed as the chance to gain revenge for the controversial European Cup Winners' Cup defeat 25 years ago.
While that rivalry will now be largely forgotten, the passion, tension and desire for victory in the Old Firm clash will once again burst to the surface when the two teams take to the field in a white-hot atmosphere in Glasgow.
Rangers triumphed in two of the four meetings with Celtic last season and suffered just one defeat, which helped ensure Smith's side were crowned champions in May.
Smith is hoping to have strikers Kenny Miller and Kyle Lafferty available for Sunday's showdown.
Miller is due to visit a specialist in Germany next week in a bid to cure an ongoing hamstring problem, but could still feature after being rested for the midweek defeat to Sevilla.
Lafferty has been hampered by a knee injury sustained while on international duty with Northern Ireland and a lack of match-fitness could also be a problem for the forward, who has not featured for Rangers this season.
Lee McCulloch has a flu bug and Kevin Thomson has experienced some pain in his knee but Smith hopes both will recover in time for the clash at Ibrox.
Aiden McGeady overcame his ankle injury to feature for Celtic against Rapid and the Republic of Ireland international is expected to continue at Ibrox.
Midfielder Paddy McCourt and defender Andreas Hinkel failed fitness tests ahead of the European encounter but will hope to recover in time for Sunday's clash.
Scotland international Scott Brown will travel to London after the derby to see a specialist about his ongoing ankle problem.
