Having blown Kilmarnock away with four goals inside 30 minutes on Sunday, Celtic now look to be a matter of weeks away from securing their second league title under Ange Postecoglou.
Rangers looked to have thrown away more points in their clash with St Mirren after an impressive Mark O'Hara double, but the late fightback saw them stay 12 points adrift with six games still to play.
This weekend marks the final set of fixtures before the split, with the Hoops welcoming Motherwell to Celtic Park before Rangers travel to Pittodrie to take on a resurgent Aberdeen side.
