Ahead of Wednesday's Scottish Premiership fixtures, several managers face mounting scrutiny over inconsistent results, with the round of matches coming before the domestic transfer window closes at 17:00 BST on Thursday. Celtic's Martin O'Neill, Aberdeen's Stephen Robinson, Dundee's Steven Pressley and Kilmarnock's Neil McCann are all under some degree of pressure heading into their respective games, while Hearts and Hibernian face each other on Thursday evening with no time to make late transfer moves beforehand.

Celtic, unbeaten domestically bar a 5-1 loss to LASK, host Aberdeen while sitting two points clear at the top, though O'Neill has faced questions after a health scare and an unconvincing 2-1 win over Falkirk. Aberdeen, without an away win in 15 league games, have never won at Celtic Park in 14 visits. Dundee's Pressley hosts St Johnstone seeking his first win over them in four attempts, while Kilmarnock's McCann, under most pressure after a 4-0 home defeat by Dundee United, faces St Mirren, a side they have not lost to in four meetings.
