The Scottish Premiership returned with a bang, offering a full card that includes a live broadcast on Sky Sports. The weekend’s fixtures promise stuttering starts, goals in every match, and plenty of excitement, as fans can predict scores and catch the action.

Kilmarnock will debut their new grass pitch at Rugby Park against Celtic on Sunday. Neil McCann expects it to be “one of the finest in the country,” hoping the change will help after a 4-3 loss at St Johnstone. Benjamin Nygren, the Hoops’ top scorer, may be absent if Martin O'Neill recovers from a small procedure.

Derek Mc Innes faces a tough start at Rangers, following a draw at Dundee United and a 2-1 Europa League defeat. Despite 35 goals in the last seven league games, Rangers have yet to win consecutive home matches against the same opponent. Hibs, buoyed by a Conference League win, will challenge the hosts.

Heart of Midlothian, under Wouter Vrancken, seek their first win after a late collapse at Aberdeen and a 6-1 defeat to Benfica. They host Dundee United, who are unbeaten in three visits to Tynecastle. Motherwell, Falkirk, St Johnstone, and Dundee all aim to build momentum as the season unfolds.
