Summary

Are Celtic ready for their Europa League opener with Red Star Belgrade? Is Brendan Rodgers’ squad equipped to go deep in the competition? Will this game be the first ‘proper test’ of the season for the side? And have they turned a corner with recent performances? Will they turn up and put to bed any criticism of their early domestic and European performances, or will they continue to falter in big games this season like their Old Firm draw with Rangers? Will their new signings make an instant continental impact, or are they still trying to bed in and gel with their new team-mates? And what now for Aberdeen and Jimmy Thelin as they suffer yet another defeat, this time against Dundee United? Falkirk and Hibs play out an entertaining draw, should the Hibees be worried?
