    Dundee have confirmed the signing of midfielder Jack Moorhouse on loan from Manchester United.

    Boss Steven Pressley has described him as an "exciting" talent and said it is a deal that has been three months in the making.

    Tonight's game has come too early for him, but he is watching on from the stand at Dens Park.

  2. 'We'll see if anything else develops' - O'Neill on transferspublished at 19:25 BST 2 September

    Celtic v Aberdeen (19:45)

    Celtic manager Martin O'Neill tells BBC Scotland: "The captain comes back into the team and Kieran [Tierney] is injured so [Liam] Scales moves over to left-back.

    "We got off to a really good start against Falkirk, scored early, crowd got right behind us. We could have put the game out of sight and we didn't. You have to take your chances, score the goals, or you will have games in the balance as we saw last Saturday.

    "I've never had an easy game against Aberdeen. They're strong, you would expect that from Stephen Robinson's side, and they can play a bit."

    On the new signings the club have already brought in, O'Neill adds: "We're very pleased with the players that we've got in."

    When asked if there are any more arrivals to come before tonight's Europa League deadline and tomorrow's transfer deadline, O'Neill said: "Every minute that goes past is more awkward. We haven't stopped at this minute so we'll see if anything else develops."

  3. Look away now, Aberdeen fans...published at 19:23 BST 2 September

    Celtic v Aberdeen (19:45)

    No double takes required - these stats are real:

    • Aberdeen have lost 36 of their last 39 league visits to Celtic.
    • Celtic are unbeaten in 28 league meetings with Aberdeen.
    • Aberdeen have lost 11 of their last 13 away league matches.

    So you can't blame anyone for assuming Celtic are going to maintain their winning start with another victory over the Dons this evening.

    The champions are still hurting from their Champions League collapse, even after Saturday's narrow win over Falkirk, and they've been busy in the transfer market.

  4. As they standpublished at 19:21 BST 2 September

    Here's how the table looks heading into tonight's fixtures.

    Celtic are the only club with a 100% winning record and they will be aiming to maintain that against Aberdeen later.

    Meanwhile, Kilmarnock are the only team without a point. Neil McCann's struggling side are hoping to address that at home to St Mirren.

  5. 'Where will Raskin's head be?'published at 19:17 BST 2 September

    It's baffling. For Raskin not to play in European ties and then to come to Falkirk and start - where will his head be?

    It's pretty telling that he's someone who's gone to the World Cup and has performed in spells at Rangers and nobody wants him. Is he as good as we make him out to be?

    A few months ago we were speaking about Raskin as Rangers' main man, the one you might get £20m for.

    If they can't get top dollar for someone who's performed at the World Cup, where does that leave Rangers with the rest of them?

  6. Can Rangers build on Pittodrie victory at winless Falkirk?published at 19:14 BST 2 September

    Falkirk v Rangers (20:00)

    It was a 1-1 draw at the Falkirk Stadium 11 months ago that proved to be the end of the Russell Martin Rangers era.

    Derek McInnes is convinced a gritty victory at Aberdeen will ignite his own, though, with a trip to Falkirk next on his agenda.

    It hasn't been the start to the season John McGlynn would have wanted, his side taking one point from their opening three league fixtures.

    A positive performance and result would be a real boost, but they are facing a club they have only beaten once in their past 49 top-flight meetings.

  7. Raskin starts for Rangers after rejected bidpublished at 19:11 BST 2 September

    Falkirk v Rangers (20:00)

    The eye-catching team news from Falkirk is Belgium midfielder Nicolas Raskin starting for Rangers.

    He has missed the past two matches amid speculation linking him with a move away from Glasgow. Besiktas had a loan bid for Raskin rejected earlier today.

    Raskin replaces Dan Neil, while Kosta Nedeljkovic comes in at right-back for Dujon Sterling in the other change.

    Thelo Aasgaard is not involved with the Norway midfielder on the verge of a loan move to Anderlecht.

    Meanwhile, Falkirk make one switch to the team beaten by Celtic at the weekend. Jacob Murrell starts up front in place of Ben Parkinson for the hosts.

    Regan Charles-Cook and Ibrahim Said drop to the bench.

    New signing Dylan Levitt, who previously played for tonight's opposition, could make his debut from the bench.

    Dundee United are unchanged from their 4-0 victory at Rugby Park on Saturday.

    The much-talked-about Will Ferry continues at left-back, following his goal and assist, and Panutche Camara remains in midfield.

    Lyall Cameron signed on loan last night is named as a substitute. Dylan Tait also returns to the bench.

    Kilmarnock v St Mirren (19:45)

    Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann has swapped three defenders in his leaky backline, hinting at a change of shape, at Rugby Park.

    Erik Ring, George Stanger and Johnly Yfeko come in, with the injured Robbie Deas and Nicky Clescenco dropping out and Jonathan Meier named on the bench.

    With Michael Schjonning-Larsen and Cathal McCarthy still named in the starting XI, McCann could move to a three-at-the-back defence.

    Craig McLeish makes just one change, swapping Fraser Taylor into the midfield in place of Samuel Ramos, who has started every league game so far.

    New signings Oliver Sorensen, Shumaira Mheuka and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone are all among the substitutes.

    Stephen Robinson has made five alterations from the team that started the 1-0 defeat to Rangers.

    Dan Happe, Connor Ronan, Mitchy Ntelo, Toyosi Olusanya and Tony Yogane drop out. Mats Knoester, Gavin Molloy, Alexander Briedl, Stuart Armstrong and Ayoub Mouloua are in.
