Two William Hill Premiership fixtures take place on Sunday, with Celtic looking to strengthen their position at the top of the table.

Hearts welcome an in-form Falkirk side to Tynecastle at 3pm, with the Bairns hoping to extend their winning run after last weekend’s impressive victory over Celtic.

The league leaders then host Kilmarnock at 4pm, with the visitors desperate for points as they look to move clear of the bottom of the table.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some William Hill Premiership odds and betting angles for Sunday’s fixtures:

Hearts have managed just one victory in their last six matches across all competitions, with Thursday’s 3-1 Conference League defeat at Thun adding to their recent struggles. However, Wouter Vrancken’s side remain third in the Premiership, having collected 20 points from 11 league fixtures.
Tynecastle has provided much more encouragement, with Hearts unbeaten in five home league games (W4, D1), scoring 15 goals during that run. The Jambos have also won their last three home meetings with Falkirk, with William Hill offering 8/15 for another victory.

Falkirk travel to Edinburgh enjoying four consecutive Premiership victories, with last Sunday’s impressive 2-0 success over Celtic lifting John McGlynn’s side into fourth place. The Bairns now sit just two points behind Hearts, although they’ve played one game more than Sunday’s opponents.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last four league matches away from home (W2, D2), conceding just three goals during that run. Falkirk will certainly fancy their chances of extending their winning streak to five matches, with the visitors available at 4/1 with William Hill to take all three points.

Celtic returned to winning ways with Thursday’s 3-2 Europa League victory over Besiktas, having previously dropped points in consecutive Premiership fixtures. Martin O’Neill’s side remain four points clear of Rangers at the top, with 28 points from 12 league matches, although their Glasgow rivals have a game in hand.
Parkhead has been a reliable source of points for Celtic, who have won four of their six home league matches this season (D1, L1), scoring 15 goals. The Bhoys have also netted 13 times across their last three home meetings with Kilmarnock, winning all three encounters, with William Hill offering 1/6 for another victory.

Kilmarnock head to Glasgow following three Premiership matches without victory (D1, L2), leaving Neil McCann’s side 11th with just nine points from their opening 12 fixtures. Defensive problems remain a major concern for Killie, who have already conceded 28 league goals, more than any other side in the division.
The visitors have won just one of their six away league matches this season (D1, L4), conceding 13 goals on their travels. However, seven of Kilmarnock’s 12 Premiership fixtures have seen both teams score, with William Hill pricing Killie at 11/1 to claim a surprise victory.
