After a truly superb day of top-flight Scottish football, our attention now turns to the Scottish sides competing for a spot in this season's European competitions.

On Wednesday we kick things off with Celtic's trip to Romania, where they will face CFR Cluj in the third round of Champions League qualifying.

The following day, Aberdeen head to Croatia to face HNK Rijeka and Rangers travel to Jutland in Denmark to try and get the better of FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.

Be sure to tune in for live text updates and radio coverage of each tie.

Derek McInnes was full of praise for Sam Cosgrove, who scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season today.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, he said: "I wouldn't have played Sam [Cosgrove] today. Curtis [Main] would have played. But when you see Sam up against three big centre backs he's led the line brilliantly.

"He gets his first goal and tucked away his penalty. He's almost [Adam] Rooney-like with his penalties. He never misses. He's going to be very important to us and it's great to see he's picked up where he left off last season."

Derek McInnes was determined to applaud his team after a physically excessive win in Europe just a few days ago and their ability to keep going despite going behind.

He said: "Thankfully the resolve and the spirit in my team was clear and even after getting the equaliser you would have forgiven my players for thinking we’d take a draw for everything that went on before. But there was no let up from the team.

"It was about making sure we never ran out of time and the winning goal was everything that I wanted from my team. That was a team that were on their knees but still finding a way to win. That’s why I’m excited about this campaign."

However, after going ahead McInnes believes his side stopped playing their game and started playing Hearts'.

He said: "I wasn't too pleased after that. I felt that we got dragged in to a game that was foul after foul. And just no real rhythm to the game. I wanted us to try and assert our authority again.

"So it was a bit stop-start, it was a lot for the referee to contend with and as is usually the case with this fixture, there were a lot of fouls out there."

Despite the back and forth drama of today's clash at Pittodrie, Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes was happy with his side's ability to dominate the first half.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, he said: "If we could have scripted that before hand we would have all been very happy but we had work to do. Certainly, I was happy with the opening period of the game.

"I thought our shape was causing problems. We attacked with speed and plenty of purpose. There was some good penetration about us.

"We needed to get that goal to capitalise on that dominance and despite the good play that we had it was a long ball over the top and a bit of indecision between the goalkeeper and defender and then Sam [Cosgrove] managed to capitalise on that."

This is how the Scottish Premiership table looks after the first round of fixtures.

John Souttar was forced to come off late in the first half during today's clash with Aberdeen.

When asked about an update on his situation, Craig Levein said: "He's rolled his ankle. So the ligaments would have been stretched. I don't know yet so we'll just have to wait and see."

Despite the failure to take any points from the game, there were positives from Hearts' performance that Craig Levein took note of.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, he said: "Steven Naismith would obviously be in the team from the beginning if he was 100% but those minutes on the pitch would have helped him.

"He comes on and scores with his first touch. Which is great for him and great for the team. I thought Conor [Washington] was very good with his running off of Uche [Ikpeazu]. I could stand here and talk for a while with the things I was pleased with but ultimately we didn't win the game."

Two moments of madness from individuals in the Hearts team ended up costing their side dearly and Craig Levein was all too aware of that after the match.

"Even if we had come away with 2-2 I'd still be a little bit disappointed because I felt that we deserved more than that," said the Hearts manager.

"And then the extra man made a difference. Clevid [Dikamona] made a stupid decision to leave a foot in at the penalty area when he didn't need to. And that has cost us. So from my point of view I'm ruing those silly decisions that we made.

"To come here and compete the way we did made me really happy. But to lose the game was a real shame."

In typical fashion, Hearts manager Craig Levein was in no mood for beating around the bush after the dramatic end to today's game.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, he said: "Football is cruel and I should have been talking after this game about a lot of the positives that happened in our game today. But instead I'm ruing the poor decision making that we had on two occasions for two goals."

It was an incredible spectacle, and a feisty affair, at Pittodrie as the Dons showed no sign of Europa League fatigue to fight back from 2-1 down.

The game swung the way of Hearts for the briefest of time in the second half, with the substitutions of Steven Naismith and Conor Washington seemingly a masterstroke from Craig Levein, after Sam Cosgrove got the opener.

But Aberdeen were handed the momentum again with Aaron Hickey given his second yellow soon after, and a silly error from Clevid Dikamona conceding a penalty that Cosgrove coolly finished.

With no substitutions left, and the Dons full of confidence, up stepped Ryan Hedges to win the game, getting on to the end of a cross from fellow new recruit Greg Leigh.
