Brendan Rodgers’ Hoops have looked impressive so far this season, building on an eye-catching pre-season with convincing wins over Kilmarnock and Hibs in their opening two league fixtures. The Parkhead club were back on home soil last weekend against the Hibees, once again getting the better of the Hibees in the Premier Sports Cup.

Intense speculation continues to surround Matt O’Riley future after Celtic received an offer of over £25million for the midfielder from Premier League side Brighton this week. There has also been reported interest in Reo Hatate from Leicester City and Kyogo Furuhashi from Manchester City in recent days.

St Mirren have had a busy start to the campaign, balancing domestic duties with European football. Their Conference League adventure came to an end last week, losing out at the second qualifying round stage to Norwegian outfit SK Brann 4-2 on aggregate. They have also sampled mixed fortunes in the Premiership, following up a thumping 3-0 victory over Hibs on the opening day with defeats to Aberdeen and Dundee United in the league and Premier Sports Cup respectively.
