There is a full Scottish Premiership card to look forward to this weekend – here’s what to look out for at both ends of the table…
Celtic return to Scottish Premiership action after their League Cup triumph and it is the first time for Brendan Rodgers, who has never faced Dundee United.
If Hoops continues his undefeated run, it will make for a more productive start to a league season: victory would also ensure his most productive run, which is 12 wins on the road in 2017.
Jim Goodwin’s side were inspired by their high-profile comeback and if they can surprise and beat the Scottish champions for the first time since 2014, they could move up to fourth place.
The Philippe Clement team will be determined to achieve an important victory in the Premiership after its defeat in the League Cup against Celtic, where its sadness was aggravated by admitting that they deserved to have received a penalty.
Depending on the result at Aberdeen, a win against Dundee could lift Rangers up to second in the table ahead of a hectic festive schedule.
Tony Docher’s team have only won the league this season and have not won at Ibrox since 2001.
An error swept through the Duende team previously this week, however, the manager has the hope that he has the maximum of his players for Saturday’s game.
After their blistering start to the season, Aberdeen are without a win in their last five Premiership games and they could lose their place in second if that does not change on Saturday.
While the Dons have struggled of late, it was Hibs’ thrilling comeback for a 3-3 draw with Jimmy Thelin’s side that appears to have kick-started their season.
They have secured wins either side of a defeat at Celtic and are out of the relegation danger zone.
Aberdeen have won just one of their last seven league titles with the Hibees, a 4-0 victory in May last season.
There is a bottom-of-the-table battle at Tynecastle as Hearts return from Conference League action to take on St Johnstone.
Victory for Neil Critchley’s look would knock them off the foot of the table and send their warring parties under them.
