It has been a tough start to the season for last term's big three in the Scottish Premiership. Reigning champions Celtic stole a march on runners-up Heart of Midlothian and city rivals Rangers considering they won on the opening weekend, albeit by a single goal against a visiting Dundee side many are predicting will be in a relegation battle come the end of the season. On the field of play, Hearts suffered a 6-1 humiliation away to Benfica - their fourth defeat in a row already this season - while Rangers followed up their 1-1 draw away to Dundee United by also losing in the Europa League qualifiers, 2-1 away to Jagiellonia Bialystok.
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.
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".
Hearts' hopes of reaching the league phase of the Europa League are all but over after a 6-1 first-leg defeat to Benfica in qualifying. The post Hearts boss Vrancken laments ‘stupid penalties’ in heavy Europa League defeat to Benfica appeared first on SoccerNews.

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. Kilmarnock have lost their past eight meetings with Celtic in all competitions, last enduring a longer losing run to the Hoops from April 2003 to April 2007 (16). This will be the 250th league meeting between Kilmarnock and Celtic, the eighth side the Parkhead club have faced 250+ times.
John Collins says Celtic must not cash in on key duo Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels until after their Champions League play-off. Martin O'Neill's side face LASK in Europe later this month, having failed at the same stage against Kazakh side Kairat Almaty last term. Canada right-back Johnston is wanted by Everton, while Celtic have turned down a bid from West Ham for Belgium midfielder Engels.
The click is ticking towards Celtic's most important games of the season. The first leg of the Champions League play-off against LASK takes place at Parkhead on 19 August and the squad is in urgent need of reinforcements, with strikers Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh the only new arrivals this summer. Paulo Bernardo's loan exit on Tuesday night was the 17th departure from the first-team squad, while Arne Engels and Alistair Johnston are being pursued by West Ham and Everton respectively.
