Celtic in their all black away kit get us underway at McDiarmid Park.

The match at McDiarmid Park is the first of five Premiership fixtures today. The matches kicking off at 15:00 are:

Aberdeen v Partick Thistle

Hearts v Inverness CT

Rangers v Motherwell

Ross County v Kilmarnock

Plenty of matches in the lower leagues as well which we'll keep you right up to date with, but for the next couple of hours our attention will be devoted to St Johnstone v Celtic.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: “Sometimes you can be too clever as a manager and overthink things and look to make changes. 

"The team is in good rhythm, they’re working very hard, playing very well, scoring goals. They’ll have a couple of days to recover before the game on Tuesday night. 

"We have to play very well today to get a result, but the team is playing well and we have to take that onto the pitch again today.”

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright: "Injuries are never nice. Steven Anderson hurt his hip on Thursday and it left us with a bit of a dilemma.

"Luckily, we were able to push [the Richard Foster deal] through. It gives us a back four with a lot of experience in it and one that can hopefully cope with the challenges that lie ahead today."

Watch the goals from last night's draw at Dens Park.

St Johnstone are unbeaten this Premiership season with four points from six so far. 

New signing Ricky Foster - who joined from Ross County yesterday - starts for them in Perth. 

David Wotherspoon and Paul Paton also come into the starting 11 for Saints, replacing Steven Anderson, Chris Millar and Chris Kane

Celtic name a strong starting 11 despite a crucial Champions League play-off second leg coming up on Tuesday. 

Saidy Janko and and Nir Bitton both start for Brendan Rodgers' men at McDiarmid Park - they come in for Mikael Lustig and Callum McGregor. .

Leigh Griffiths starts up front for Celtic and will be hoping for another special moment at McDiarmid Park.

He scored his 40th goal of last season at the ground, becoming the first Celtic player since the great Henrik Larsson to hit 40 in a season. 

The enduring image of that evening was Griffiths celebrating the goal with his young son.

Saints fans will be quick to remind us that despite Griffiths' best efforts it was Tommy Wright's men who emerged with a 2-1 victory.

Plenty to chew the fat over in Scottish football this week, so let's hear your thoughts. 

Was Scott Brown right to retire from Scotland duty aged 31? 

Joleon Lescott will not be signing for Rangers - how big a blow is that to Mark Warburton's plans? 

Kilmarnock have taken their summer signing tally to 15 - is this some kind of record?

Inverness CT head of youth development Charlie Christie believes a quota system should be introduced for home grown players in Scottish football. Could it work?

An intriguing sub-plot to this afternoon's match is the battle between the two Northern Irishmen in the dugouts - St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

Wright is one of the most highly respected managers in Scotland, owing to his sterling work since taking charge of Saints in 2013. Rodgers put the spotlight back on the Scottish game when he agreed to replace Ronny Deila at Parkhead in May after a spell in charge of Liverpool.

"It's a big deal for Scottish football because he's built up a big reputation over a period of time in arguably the best league in the world," Wright said of his compatriot. "He's a top coach, top manager.

"He's a Celtic fan at heart. It was a great appointment. It's lifted the profile of the league. When you attract top players and top managers, that can only be of benefit to the league."

Rodgers has been impressed with Wright's work since he took charge at Saints.

"I think he has done awfully well," he said. "I don't think he gets the credit for the job that he has done.

"I always look at fellow countrymen him like him, Neil (Lennon), Michael (O'Neill) and I like to see them do well and I think he has done a good job at St Johnstone."

Hibernian have completed the signing of Brian Graham following his departure from Ross County.

Graham has signed a one year contract with the option of a further year and is bailable for selection this afternoon.

The striker had agreed to terminate his contract with Ross County by mutual consent.

Graham told BBC Scotland: "It's one of the top four clubs in Scotland with a great opportunity to go there and get promotion.

"I enjoyed Ross County, it's a great family club and obviously I won a cup there.

"Once I knew there was interest I was very keen on working with Neil Lennon. He did exceptionally well at Celtic. Hibs is a massive club and it's a big challenge.

"I've been away from my wife and two children for long spells as well so getting back down to be with them was additional motivation."

Celtic travel to McDiarmid Park three days after a breathless Champions League qualifying encounter with Israeli champions Hapoel Beer Sheva at Celtic Park.

Brendan Rodgers' men looked to be cruising in the play-off first leg when Tom Rogic and a Leigh Griffiths double put them 3-0 up at half-time. 

A two-minute aberration in an otherwise excellent performance allowed the visitors to grab two away goals, but late strikes from substitute Moussa Dembele and captain Scott Brown secured a commanding 5-2 lead to take to Israel for Tuesday's second leg.

After giving what many felt was his best performance in some time, Brown announced on Friday that he was retiring from international football.
