European football has concluded for the week, and all eyes at Celtic are now on what promises to be an exciting Sunday in the Scottish Premiership.
The Bhoys will feature in the live Sky Sports lunchtime kick-off away to Ross County, while the undefeated Aberdeen face Hearts at Pittodrie, and later, Rangers host St Johnstone live on Premier Sports.
There are fascinating storylines heading into the weekend.
Celtic were soundly beaten by Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening, and they’ll be eager to put the 7-1 result behind them with a strong response.
Aberdeen, led by summer arrival Jimmy Thelin, have made a perfect start with 18 points from 18, fueling hopes of a remarkable season.
Rangers, on the other hand, are coming off a heavy 4-1 Europa League defeat at home to Lyon. They face the difficult challenge of balancing Thursday night football with a quick turnaround to Sunday, knowing they can’t afford to fall further behind the top two, even at this early stage of the season.

Aberdeen’s confidence is hard to ignore as they keep pace with Celtic.
