And we're off around the country.

Will we have new leaders in the Premiership?

We're approaching kick-off around the country.

Stay with us for the latest updates from around the grounds...

BBC Sport Scotland at Easter Road

Dundee have started this season on fire in terms of scoring goals with 29 so far in their seven matches played and conceded only six in their seven-match unbeaten run.

Much of that success is down to the stability of the team afforded to Tony Docherty.

Compare that with their hosts, Hibs. With three wins and four losses, it could be argued the visitors will hold the upper hand.

However, the Dens Park club have not left Easter Road with a win since October 2001, when Steven Milne scored a last-minute goal in the 2-1 win.

BBC Scotland at Tannadice

St Johnstone have brought a healthy travelling support to Tannadice. The vast majority of them are already in the "shed" end and applauding their team, who are still out on the pitch warming up.

Tannadice is looking great. Pitch looks is top condition and the sun is shining. It's chilly though. First outing for the winter coat!

Rangers steadied the ship after their Champions League qualifying exit with a routine win over St Johnstone last weekend.

Their two league wins at their temporary Hampden home have hardly been scintillating, but they will be happy to avoid the kind of shock 3-2 defeat they suffered the last time they met, up in Dingwall in April.

County were going along nicely, unbeaten in six, with two league draws after a 100% League Cup group-stage run, until last weekend's shock last 16 defeat by League 2 hosts Spartans.

David Gray's Hibs have suffered three straight league defeats since beating Peterhead in the League Cup group stage and have conceded eight goals in the process.

Two of those games were against champions Celtic, so the Leith side will consider this one more winnable, especially as they won two and drew the other meeting between the sides last season.

However, although Dundee have not won at Easter Road in 17 visits since 2001, they are unbeaten in all seven outings this term, scoring 29 times - an average of more than four per game.

Jim Goodwin's rebuilt Championship winners are on a six-game unbeaten run - four at home this season - as St Johnstone visit.

Craig Levein's Saints have had a rather up and down season so far but have won their two most recent meetings, including their last visit to Tannadice in February 2023.

St Johnstone manager Craig Levein tells BBC Scotland: "It's good conditions for the game. Any time you bring a team to Tannadice, you know you're in for a scrap. We need to be aware of that.

"We've been playing reasonably well and, if we can bring some of that and do a wee bit better, we'll have a chance of taking all three points.

"If we can bring the same energy and enthusiasm that we had against Rangers, I'll be quite happy."

Dundee manager Tony Docherty addresses the reports around Luke McCowan and Hibs' desire to sign him.

He tells BBC Scotland the fact the midfielder is starting at Easter Road is "great credit" to his professionalism and attitude.

"I've got a great relationship with Luke and we speak every day," he tells BBC Scotland. "He drives standards every single day."

On the fact Dundee haven't won at Easter Road for 23 years, Docherty adds: "I will remind them of that, but for this team, it's about this season and creating history. They're talented and hungry and I want to see them take that on to the pitch."

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "I've been pleasantly surprised at how well Craig Levein has put a squad together. They've been very competitive in all the games they've played.

"They were really dangerous against Rangers, caused them a lot of problems on the counter with the pace of the two lads up top.

"We have to be at our best, disciplined without the ball. The system has been working well and we carry a threat ourselves. Trapanovski has hit the ground running. Babunski - we know his technical ability - and big Jort [van der Sande] is a handful up top.

"We're all desperate for the big man to get a goal."

Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "Dundee have started the season really well. Tony's done a fantastic job. You can see they've carried the momentum from last season into this one. I fully expect a tough test again."

On Luke McCowan and Hibs' interest in the Dundee midfielder, Gray says: "He's a top player, he's done really well. He's one of a number of good players who are in fine form for Dundee that we need to keep quiet today.

"But the full focus is on what we can do to hurt them."

Gray adds there is no "panic" at the club despite a sluggish start and says there is great "belief" within the squad.

Peterhead are the early pacesetters in the fourth tier but will do well to maintain their 100% record away to Spartans, who knocked Premiership side Ross County out of the League Cup last time out.

Second-top Elgin City also have a perfect record but have played a game less as they visit Stranraer.

• Bonnyrigg Rose v Clyde
• Forfar Athletic v Edinburgh City
• The Spartans v Peterhead
• Stirling Albion v East Fife
• Stranraer v Elgin City

Surprise third-tier leaders Kelty Hearts host Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who could be boosted this week by the news that directors have written off loans that should ease the pressure on head coach Duncan Ferguson's attempts to rebuild his squad.

Queen of the South are second on goal difference as they travel to face Montrose in a game being shown live on BBC Alba this evening.

• Annan Athletic v Alloa Athletic
• Dumbarton v Arbroath
• Kelty Hearts v Inverness Caledonian Thistle
• Stenhousemuir v Cove Rangers
• Montrose v Queen of the South (17:30, live on BBC Alba)

Having approached Linfield for the services of former Rangers forward David Healy, Raith Rovers head to Ayr still without a manager after the surprise sacking of Ian Murray.

Last season's runners-up face a tough task against Scott Brown's early pacesetters, who have won all three of their games so far - one more than fourth-placed Rovers.

Falkirk, on a high after their League Cup defeat of Hearts, are the only other side with a 100% record so far but have played one less match as they Partick Thistle.

• Airdrieonians v Queen's Park
• Ayr United v Raith Rovers
• Falkirk v Partick Thistle
• Hamilton Academical v Dunfermline Athletic
• Livingston v Greenock Morton

Matt O'Riley's likely exit from Celtic has dominated headlines for what seems like much of the summer.

It now seems like the 23-year-old Denmark midfielder is poised to join Brighton & Hove Albion.

Providing the transfer does through as expected, O'Riley will cost the Premier League club £25m.

Brighton, though, are cautioning against a belief that his arrival will trigger the exit of Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour, but there are a lot of rumours about a potential move to Napoli for the 23-year-old.

Nevertheless, Gilmour did start this afternoon's win over Manchester United.

Raith Rovers are hoping to appoint current Linfield boss David Healy as their new manager early next week.

The 45-year-old is expected to travel to Kirkcaldy to discuss the move after taking charge of Linfield this afternoon in their Northern Ireland Premiership match at home to Loughgall.

Rovers have been without a manager since sacking Ian Murray earlier this month.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement tells BBC Sportsound "there's a possibility" today could be his side's last league game at Hampden "but it's not a certainty".

On his team selection at centre-back and the absence of Robin Propper, he adds: "Leon Balogun is a very important player still, it's important he's back. Robin will be available next week again.

Of Dujon Sterling starting in midfield, Clement adds: "Dujon needs to get minutes to become stronger again. Mohamed Diomande has played a lot in the last games - he's ready to come in second half."

Will this turn out to be Rangers' last game at their temporary Hampden home amid suggestions the delayed refurbishment of the Copland Stand is near completion?

Given the disappointing attendances at the national stadium so far, they will be itching to get back to Ibrox and manager Philippe Clement said on Friday "there's a possibility but not a certainty" it could happen earlier than the targeted 28 September visit by Hibernian.

That would mean Ibrox could host the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Dundee a week earlier.

Hibs fans look away now.

Their former goalscoring hero, Kevin Nisbet, is undergoing a medical with Premiership rivals Aberdeen after agreeing a season-long loan from Millwall.

The Scotland international left Hibs in June last year to join the English Championship club, but the 27-year-old has fallen out of favour in London.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement had a different take to his Celtic counterpart on Friday when asked why Scotland is failing to bring through young players from their academies to first-team football.

Referencing his experience in his native Belgium, Clement suggested that Premiership B teams playing as high up as the Championship would act as a stepping stone to first-team football in the top flight.

How do you fancy that idea? Thumbs up for yes below, thumbs down for no.
