The Scottish Premiership returns after a three-week break with key storylines unfolding. Martin O'Neill, 74, confirmed he remains Celtic manager after reflecting on his future during the international break, despite Celtic suffering three defeats before the pause, including two to Rangers and one in the Europa League. O'Neill says he is 'raring to go' for a sixth consecutive title but knows he must deliver results to maintain fan support, with some protesters having thrown tennis balls at principal shareholder Dermot Desmond during his golf outing. Celtic face Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday, live on Sky Sports, as they aim to avoid a fourth straight loss — a feat last seen under Wilfried Nancy in 2023 and not matched since 1978.
Meanwhile, Rangers boss Derek Mc Innes is targeting the top spot after a shaky start, having lost his first four games in charge before securing key wins. Hibs have entered a new era with the appointment of 35-year-old Dutchman Marink Reedijk, who arrives from Belgium to lead the Easter Road side. The race for supremacy is tightening, with early form under pressure as teams like St Mirren and Motherwell know that positive starts could be undone by four consecutive defeats.
