  3. What's at stake?published at 14:07 BST 5 September

    Scottish Premiership

    Anyway, while you get hot and bothered about all that, let's get to the team news from those first three games in the top flight.

    With the top three not playing until tonight or tomorrow, Rangers and Motherwell both have the chance to move up to second above St Mirren with a win at Ibrox.

    Kilmarnock are still seeking their first point as they host Aberdeen, while Falkirk are yet to win as they visit Dundee United.

  4. Hot topicspublished at 14:04 BST 5 September

    Among the hot topics on Sportsound is the Scottish FA's proposal for financial incentives - and penalties - along with quotas to persuade clubs to play more home-based under-21 players.

    SFA chief football officer Craig Mulholland is a guest and will be getting grilled on that.

    Also being debated is the SPFL's decision to have no away supporters for Celtic and Rangers derbies in the Scottish Premiership or Premier Sports Cup this season.

    Meanwhile, Steve Clarke has been quoted as saying he had to cajole the Scottish FA into handing him a new contract as national head coach shortly before the World Cup finals this summer because he felt the governing body was hedging its bets.
