What to look out for in five Saturday games and one on Sunday in the Scottish Premiership.
Scottish Premiership players return from international duty in all corners of the world in time for five top-flight fixtures on Saturday and one on Sunday.
They head to Tannadice without a win in their three away games this season - and have only won one of their last seven on the road in the Premiership stretching into last term. It is certainly not the ideal time to be visiting a side who are unbeaten in eight outings, winning their latest three, and who have not lost in 10 home games - five of them this season.Rangers' expected goals from non-penalty shots in the Premiership this season is the highest of any side at 0.148, with United in third with an average of 0.124, and such clinical finishing could make the difference.
Assuming he recovers from the head knock that forced him off early in the 1-0 win away to Ross County last time out, he will be pivotal in Aberdeen's attempt to stretch their winning run this season to 10 games. In contrast, champions Celtic spent much of the summer being berated by their fans for their lack of activity while waiting for the almost inevitable departure of star midfielder Matt O'Riley.
The Tynecastle head coach is facing the heat after suffering six defeats in a row - just one point from their opening four league games being Hearts' poorest start to a top-flight campaign in the 21st century.
