We take a look at what’s at stake this weekend…
What’s live on Sky?
Sunday 11th August 11:30am
Kick off 12:30pm
It was a tough start to the season for Hibs with a 3-0 defeat to St Mirren and it is not likely to be any easier on matchday two.
They host champions Celtic, live on Sky, who eased to a 4-0 win against Kilmarnock in their opening game of the new season.
David Gray has been busy in the transfer window this week with Nicky Cadden, Junior Hoilett and Kieron Bowie joining the club with all of them available for Sunday’s match.
Celtic’s Matt O’Riley is wanted by clubs across Europe
Celtic’s Matt O’Riley is all but certain to start amid continued interest in the midfielder – since the start of the 2022/23 season he has registered at least one assist against 11 of the 12 sides he has faced in the league; the only side he hasn’t is Hibs in eight games.

Highlights of the Scottish Premiership match between St Johnstone and Aberdeen.
Jimmy Thelin became the first Aberdeen manager to win his first five games in charge when they followed up their League Cup group stage success with a 2-1 win at St Johnstone in their Premiership opener.
He will be looking for his players to impress in their first home league match, but it will be a test against a St Mirren side who stunned Hibs with a 3-0 win in their opening match.
St Mirren’s Toyosi Olusanya scored a stoppage-time equaliser against Brann
The Buddies will also be buoyed by Toyosi Olusanya’s late equaliser against Brann in their Europa Conference League third qualifying round tie.
St Mirren have won two of their last three league trips to Pittodrie after failing to win any of their previous 15.

Highlights of the Scottish Premiership match between Dundee United and Dundee.
Dundee have not had a good run against Hearts in the top flight having lost the last three meetings and will be determined to avoid making it four in a row for the first time since 2004.
They also do not fare well in their first home game of the Premiership season, having suffered defeat in the last 11.
Tony Docherty’s side will take confidence from their fight back to earn a 2-2 draw with Dundee United last weekend while the Jambos have yet to score a goal this season, drawing 0-0 with Rangers in their opener.

Following his side’s 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen, St Johnstone manager Craig Levein says they were unfortunate not to take at least a point in their first match of the season.
It was defeat for St Johnstone in their first game too as they had to settle for a late consolation against Aberdeen.
Craig Levein was full of praise for his new-look squad despite the defeat as he hopes to be looking up this season rather than over his shoulder.
