We asked fans from each Scottish Premiership club to test their keepy-uppy skills. But who was the most impressive?

Big-spending Dundee United are again hot favourites to win promotion to the Premiership.

But Robbie Neilson's side failed to qualify from their League Cup group and face a tough challenge today from visitors Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Dick Campbell's Arbroath make their return to the second tier and the part-timers host a Queen of the South side who just avoided the drop via the play-offs.

Celtic and Hibs in particular will be hot favourites to start their season flying, but will visitors St Johnstone and St Mirren have something to say about that?

Celtic great Henrik Larsson, a former team-mate of current manager Neil Lennon, was on Sportsound last night to preview the new season.

And, while admitting he does not know the squad assembled at city rivals Rangers, he is confident his former club can have another successful year.

"I was very happy with Neil got the job again because I know he's a great manager," the former Sweden striker told David Currie. "I think they're in very good hands for the season.

"It will be ups and downs, but the main thing is that they keep on being consistent in the performances. If they could do that, hopefully we can get to nine in a row.

"I don't think it's going to be a burden. I think it's added pressure because it would be lovely if we could win nine in a row."

Of course, the domestic season officially kicked off last night with the Championship game between Dunfermline Athletic and Dundee.

Broadcast live on the BBC Scotland TV channel, it's already placed the spotlight on the new hand ball regulations, with Dunfermline hotly disputing the first of two penalties that allowed their relegated visitors to come back rather fortuitously from two goals down to secure a draw.

Another Scottish Premiership season, another 10 months in which Celtic aim to create more new records of success.

The treble treble achieved last season, manager Neil Lennon in one breath insists talk of a 51st title is banned in the dressing-room, the next he is targeting Rangers' world record total of 55 and surpassing it.

There's no doubt it is high in the minds of their fans - and among those bankrolling summer spending across the city at Ibrox designed to stop them.

Stay with us for the build-up, live commentary and reaction from the first round of Premiership, Championship, League One and League Two fixtures.
