A little over two months after Celtic's dramatic last-gasp title victory and the Scottish Premiership is back again with kick-off weekend taking place from Friday to Monday.
All 12 teams will be looking to get off to a flying start as the battle to stop the Bhoys from winning the league yet again gets under way.

All change at Ibrox as Derek McInnes looks to put last season's heartbreak with Hearts behind him and get revenge on Celtic by going one better and beating them to the title now he's in charge at their bitter Old Firm rivals.
Among seven new signings in a summer overhaul, McInnes brought striker Lawrence Shankland and midfielder Cammy Devlin with him from Hearts so there's a Jambos spine to the side, who finished outside the top two in the league for the first time in six years last season.
The hosts are 15/44.75 to earn a first win over Rangers in five years and 13 games - 4/71.57 favourites Rangers winning nine of those meetings with four score draws.
Two of three meetings last season ended 2-2 and with a new manager and several new players to bed in for Rangers then a score draw at 9/25.50 is a pretty viable option, but you know McInnes will want to hit the ground running. He'll also know how to get the best out of Shankland too so we'll back him for a debut goal.

Falkirk v St Mirren Tip - Back Buddies for away win

Although they lost five of their last six games of the season, finishing sixth in their first top-flight campaign for 15 years was a great achievement for Falkirk, but John McGlynn may find it tough to repeat that having lost star man Calvin Miller to Hearts.
St Mirren needed a play-off just to avoid relegation, but they'll take that having also stunned Celtic to win the League Cup. It may be another tough league campaign for the Buddies and they're 13/53.60 underdogs here, but they could spring a bit of an opening day surprise here.
They won at Falkirk twice last season - in fact all three league meetings resulted in away wins - and in the League Cup this season they've been banging in the goals, scoring four three times, so we'll take them to turn that confidence into a winning start.
Back St Mirren to win
Aberdeen v Hearts Tip - Back stalemate for heartbroken Jambos

Was last season just the start for Hearts or was it their only chance of beating the Old Firm to the title? Just the manner of their heartbreaking near miss - topping the table most of the season but losing on the final day, plus some questionable refereeing decisions, will make it hard for them to emotionally climb off the canvas and go again.
And they've lost their manager, star striker and midfield heartbeat as McInnes, Shankland and Devlin all left in a summer of change at Tynecastle with nine players out and 12 new arrivals as owner Tony Bloom looks to continue the progression.
Losing their Champions League qualifier 6-0 on aggregate against Sturm Graz suggests there's still plenty of work to do, they're still 13/102.30 match favourites at Pittodrie with Aberdeen 19/102.90 underdogs but looking good in their League Cup campaign as Stephen Robinson starts his first full season in charge.
Expect a much better Aberdeen this year and they could just catch Hearts cold as they sort themselves out, but there's still some talent in this Jambos squad so weighing all those factors up this one looks like a draw to me.

St Johnstone v Kilmarnock Tip - Saints start in style

Sunday 2 August, 14:00 kick-off

There'll be a party atmosphere at McDiarmid Park as St Johnstone bounced right back into the top flight by winning the Championship by 11 points last season. And with only one team in the past 15 years finishing bottom of the Premiership after being promoted as champions they'll fancy their chances of keeping their heads above water.
Neil McCann's Kilmarnock had a storming finish last season with 13 goals scored in four straight wins, but we're not expecting much more than survival from them this season and they've been quiet in the League Cup with just two goals in four games.
The party in Perth should continue.
Back St Johnstone to win
Hibs v Motherwell Tip - Back 11/43.75 scoring stalemate

Sunday 2 August 16:30 kick-off

Two of last season's top six started their campaigns with Conference League ties - Motherwell winning 2-0 at home while Hibernian lost on the road and despite being 13/102.30 match favourites here it's David Gray who starts the season already under pressure.
Motherwell lost their manager and some key players so replicating last season's fourth placed finish will be tough, so even though they're nicely priced at 21/103.10 I can't see them winning the season opener at a fired-up Easter Road.
If they play the same type of football as last season though they should be good enough here against a slightly frail hosts defensively to come away with a point.

Celtic v Dundee Tip - Back 7/52.40 champs to kick-off with a win

Monday 3 August 19:30 kick-off

One way or another Celtic managed to win the title again and they're 4/51.80 title favourites and should really win the Scottish Premiership a touch more comfortably under Martin O'Neil this time around.
Striker Kasper Hogh has arrived from Bodo/Glimt for a club-record £11m but there's not been too many other signings - having a settled manager getting more out of the current squad should see a big improvement on their below-par points returns last season.
A home opener against a Dundee side they've beaten on their last nine visits to Parkhead should be a nice start - with Celtic massive 2/91.22 favourites and the Dark Blues pegged as huge 10/111.00 underdogs.
Hogh is 8/111.73 and fellow new signing Camilo Duran 4/51.80 to score debut goals, but the big question here is whether Dundee can find a goal in what will be another big night in Glasgow.
They've played a lot of football this summer so could have a fitness edge, and bagged 14 goals in four League Cup games, while Celtic haven't kept a clean sheet in 11 games including friendlies, while they finished last season with just one in 14 in the league - so we'll back a Dundee goal in a regulation win for the champions.
Back Celtic win and both teams to score
