Celtic defender Auston Trusty admits he missed the start of pre-season as his father was in hospital. The centre-back made it to the round of 16 with the United States in their home World Cup and even scored in their 3-2 group stage defeat by Turkey. Trusty, 27, was in the starting line-up for champions Celtic's 1-0 opening Scottish Premiership victory over Dundee on Monday - less than a month on from his final World Cup appearance.
Chris Cadden described his move to Aberdeen as the "perfect fit", admitting: "I was ready for a new challenge." The right-back arrived at Pittodrie on a two-year deal at the end of last month after five years at Hibernian and made his Dons debut in last weekend's Scottish Premiership win over Hearts. Cadden played 166 times for Hibs and was asked if it was a wrench to leave Easter Road.
Celtic assistant manager Shaun Maloney says there is "no timeline" for Martin O'Neill's return from the "small procedure" the boss underwent in hospital and the 74-year-old will "make the call" about whether he will be in the dugout for Sunday's trip to Kilmarnock.

Assistant manager Shaun Maloney has been speaking to the media as Celtic prepare for Sunday's trip to face Kilmarnock. After undergoing a "small procedure" in hospital earlier this week, Maloney says manager Martin O'Neill was "in good form" when he went to see him on Thursday. Maloney confirms the 74-year-old got out of hospital on Thursday and is "loads better" than he was earlier this week.
Kilmarnock's Greg Kiltie hopes the club's new pitch will change the narrative over their home form and the theory that their old artificial surface gave them a huge advantage. The artificial pitch at Rugby Park has been ripped up and replaced with a state of the art grass-hybrid pitch, which gets its first airing this Sunday with the visit of Celtic.
Stephen Robinson has highlighted the "inner belief" now present in the Aberdeen squad. After winning all four of their Premier Sports Cup group stage games, the Dons opened their Scottish Premiership campaign with a dramatic victory over last season's runners-up Hearts last weekend. Robinson's side were trailing until the 90th minute at Pittodrie before goals from Lewis Mayo and Kevin Nisbet sealed a thrilling win.
Aberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson has been speaking to the media as his side prepare for Saturday's Premiership trip to Dundee. The Dons have a 100% record in all competitions so far and Robinson stresses "momentum is everything in football". After that dramatic late comeback at Pittodrie last week, Robinson praises the "inner belief" in his squad to grind out a victory.
Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Scottish Premiership visit of champions Celtic. McCann says it was "pretty clear where they went wrong" in last weekend's defeat by St Johnstone and he will "learn an awful lot" from that loss. The manager admits there were many aspects of their Perth performance that "wasn't at top level" but he believes his squad "has got a lot to offer".
If a recent update from transfer expert Pete O’Rourke is believed to be true, Celtic could return for Benjamin Arthur, despite Brentford rejecting the Hoops’ initial approach for the highly-rated ...
No player has scored more goals (17) or winning goals (6) than Celtic's Benjamin Nygren in the Scottish Premiership since the beginning of last season.

This will be the 250th league meeting between Kilmarnock and Celtic, the eighth side the Parkhead club have faced 250+ times.
