Hibernian boss Neil Lennon admits to feeling a "bit surreal" on his return to Celtic Park this afternoon.

"It was lovely," he told BBC Scotland. "I had a really nice reception when I came in through the doors.

"I am really proud of what I achieved here, but that is history now and Brendan is creating his own legacy now.

"We have a job to do and I just want my players to trust themselves and compete - and try to give Celtic a game.

"You have to be mentally and physically at your best because Celtic are a juggernaut, but anything can happen on any given day.

"Celtic, psychologically, have had a big week and mentally, it is really draining.

"They have only had a couple of days to recover, so if we can capitalize on that, so be it.

"When we have the ball, we have to be brave and positive."

Alan Archibald says it's a boost to have his number one goalkeeper, Tomas Cerny, back.

Thistle have not won a League game since beating Motherwell the last time they met on 8 April at Firhill - a run of 13 league games without a win.

Stephen Robinson says he's banned mobile phones in the dressing room and, when players are sitting down to a meal.

He says it brings people together and means they have to talk to each other and he adds "they may find out they've something in common".

The Fir Park boss says it adds to the camaraderie. There are fines for breach of the rule and he says the Christmas kitty could benefit from that.

There are two replays in the first round of the Scottish Cup.

Highland League outfit Rothes host the Lowland League's Edusport Academy, who both sit mid-table in their respective leagues, with a tie away to Elgin City awaiting the winners.

Stirling University, currently fourth in the Lowland League, are at home to Wick Academy, 13th in the Highland League, with the winner also away to a League Two side - Montrose.

Kilmarnock manager Lee McCulloch makes one change for the visit of Owen Coyle's Ross County.

Out goes forward Rory McKenzie and in comes winger Dom Thomas.

Coyle makes two changes, with defender Reghan Tumilty dropping out and midfielder Jamie Lindsay coming in. Striker Billy Mckay has to settle for a place on the bench, with Davis Keillor-Dunn starting.

St Johnstone are unbeaten in their past five trips to Pittodrie, winning three of them.

In four of the past five Premiership meetings between the sides, Aberdeen have failed to register a single goal, while St Johnstone have netted six times.

Saints have only failed to score in one of their past 19 league matches.

However, the Dons are unbeaten at home so far this season.

Only one man is wearing shades in Glasgow today as Rod Stewart arrives at Celtic Park.

Rangers has become a hot topic on Sportsound around striker Kenny Miller being banished from the first team following a row with manager Pedro Caixinha.

Former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner says that, these days, you can't treat a senior player can be treated like that. However, chief sports writer Tom English is saying there is no reason he shouldn't if the manager thinks it right and that the striker has not deserved his place in the team this season.

English is saying that Caixinha is under threat despite last night's win over Hamilton.

Does Caixinha deserve to stay at Ibrox? Will he survive the current crisis?

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers explains to BBC Scotland why he has shaken up his side, including a new front three.

"If you look at the likes of Leigh Griffiths, for example, all of them have played a lot of games recently.

"I think, when he gets back from the international break, he will have played two full 90 minutes and then we have a game against Dundee here before we play Bayern Munich.

"So we have to manage the squad the best we can. And, if you look at the way we play, you need that energy and intensity.

"So we have changed the top end of the field and the players coming in have power and speed too.

"I trust the squad and, whenever we change things, they can play as fluently as the guys who regularly play."

The top four in League Two - Stirling Albion, Peterhead, Stenhousemuir and Montrose - have a chance to move further clear of the rest today as all are at home against lower-placed teams.

Will there be another League One goalfest as Albion Rovers, who thumped Alloa Athletic 5-2 last weekend, host runaway leaders Raith Rovers?

Alloa will hope to avoid another heavy defeat as they visit an Arbroath side who moved into second place after their 6-2 hammering of Stranraer.

Hibs and Celtic last met in January 2014 and the Glasgow side have not lost in the last five meetings between the sides.

Celtic have only lost one of the last 14 league games against Hibs, winning 10.

Hibs last won at Celtic Park in January 2010, with Celtic having kept clean sheets in seven of the past 11 league meetings between the sides.

Neil Lennon's visitors are unbeaten away from home in the Premiership so far this season.

But to win at Celtic Park they would be doing what only Neymar's formidable Paris St-Germain have achieved this season.

Alex Smith is back in the dugout at the ripe old age of 77, taking temporary charge of Falkirk following the departure of Peter Houston.

That makes for the former Aberdeen, St Mirren and Dundee United gaffer the oldest working boss in Europe as he prepares to take on Morton at Cappielow.

"I had no doubts about stepping in," he tells BBC Scotland. "You never lose the buzz. I'm at home by the side of the pitch.

"I was sad about Peter leaving, but we needed to get things moving again.

"Confidence has fallen a bit and we've worked hard on the training field this week. We need to start believing in ourselves.

"Hopefully, we've made enough progress to get a positive result today."

Craig Levein says he only told 16-year-old Harry Cochrane he was playing against Dundee after the team had their pre-match meal.

He insists the midfielder is ready for the challenge having played a few pre-season games when Ian Cathro was in charge.

"He is a good player," Levein told BBC Scotland. "He is young and he may not be as strong as some of the players he will be up against, but he is a good player.

"We need somebody to do a particular job and he is the best one we have got. I know he is 16 and it's a test for him.

"I'm hoping his presence in the team will encourage other players to help him."
