03.10// The Weekend’s Fita

Aye aye, fit like theday? There's another full card of fixtures this weekend across every division in Scotland, so without further messing about, let's get to it.

Probably the game to keep an eye out for is the one taking place at Pittodrie as Aberdeen take on Hibernian. Following a poor set of results which has seen the Dons slump to second bottom of the table without a home win to their name, the pressure is starting to build on Jimmy Calderwood.  The game against Hibernian is seen by some of the Aberdeen faithful as a vote of confidence in Calderwood's management of the club and a win is badly needed to raise morale amongst the players and the fans. Games between these two sides tend to produce a lot of goals. Last seasons five encounters produced seventeen; in three of the games, one or both teams scored three goals with the Dons edging out the Hibees with 2 wins, 1 defeat and an entertaining 3-3 draw in the first meeting between the two last season. But Aberdeen's home form has been appalling so far. Just two goals scored at home (against Rangers and Hamilton) and six conceded. Hibernian's heavy defeat to Rangers in last weekends tie will spur on the team to get at least something here, and they'll be banking on Aberdeen's home form continuing.

Elsewhere, Dundee United and Inverness Caley are both hoping to keep their seasons going when they face each other in Dundee. Both United and Thistle recorded wins last weekend, so confidence is high for both teams.

Hearts take on the team with which they swapped third spot the other week, Kilmarnock. Both teams lost heavily last week, to Dundee United and Inverness respectively. For Hearts, a win tomorrow will be their first against Jim Jefferies' men since April 2007 while Killie will be hoping to continue a run of form that had them drop only two points against the Jambo's last season.

Motherwell go into their fifth fixture in two weeks as they try and put the disappointment of Thursday's Uefa Cup exit behind them. Motherwell lie in 10th spot, level on points with tomorrows opponents Falkirk. Both sides won last weekend - Motherwell came from behind to beat St. Mirren while Falkirk trounced Hamilton 4-1. Motherwell have not won a game against Falkirk since February 2007, while Falkirk look to be hitting a run of form. They're undefeated in four games so far (three of those in the league), so an interesting game could be on the cards there.

Bottom side St. Mirren welcome top of the table Rangers to Love Street. The Buddies failed to score against Rangers in the three games last season (conceding 9 along the way) and in fact have not beaten the Ibrox side since 1985. Rangers are in good form as their win against Hibs last week showed. St. Mirren's Billy Mehmet has scored seven so far this season for Gus McPherson's men, but you just fear that with the record St. Mirren have against Rangers, that it'll be Mark Howard and the Rangers strikers that'll have a busier afternoon.

In the First Division, its second against first as Queen of the South play Livingston, and ninth against tenth as Morton travel north to Dingwall and a game against Ross County. Peterhead will be hoping to put some distance between themselves and third placed Ayr United when the teams meet tomorrow afternoon's Division Two fixture.  League leaders Brechin take on bottom side Alloa.

There are no stand out fixtures in the Third division other than perhaps the game between Dumbarton and Annan Athletic. The Galabankies had set a cracking pace in the opening weeks of the campaign, but back-to-back losses against Forfar and Berwick have seen the team move down the table. Hopefully a win will get the season back on track.
