Do you think Celtic will qualify from their Champions League group and will Brendan Rodgers have learned from the heavy defeat in Dortmund?
CRAIG SWAN: Defeat in Dortmund was always likely. It’s just the horrible manner of it which changed the narrative. Qualification hopes remain the same.
ANDY NEWPORT: He simply has to if he is to get a result in Bergamo against Atalanta. But Celtic still have winnable fixtures to come, especially at home, and should fancy their chances of getting the two victories needed that should see them through.
SCOTT BURNS: Borussia Dortmund were on a different level. Celtic still have some tough games ahead and they can’t go toe-to-toe with better opposition. If they do then they will come unstuck. They certainly can qualify with the fixtures they have left.
Are Rangers going backwards under Philippe Clement or can he turn things around?
CRAIG: Clement is not having it easy and Lyon sworded his side with their attacking threat. Europe is going to be struggle at times, but Rangers have to stick with him.
ANDY: Rangers are in a rebuilding phase. They’ll have ups and downs during this process but they need to stick by the Belgian in the meantime as there’s no use going back to square one by sacking another boss.
SCOTT: The next month is massive for Philippe Clement and could make or break him. They have big European games but the big ones are the trip to Pittodrie and the Premier Sports Cup semi-final. If he loses the Aberdeen game or the semi-final then the clock will be ticking.
Can Aberdeen be genuine title contenders or split the top two?
CRAIG: Unlikely to be title contenders as Celtic are streets ahead. Splitting the top two will depend on whether they can beat Rangers a couple of times.
ANDY: History suggests they will falter at some stage. Pipping Celtic to the crown would certainly be a huge task given the Hoops’ financial might but finishing ahead of Rangers might be a more achievable feat if Clement’s team stumble again. This month’s Pittodrie clash will be a major indicator of what’s to come.
SCOTT: I just think Celtic are too strong domestically. They certainly can overcome Rangers, on current form. The match later this month will be an indicator. If they can win that then it will set them up nicely.
Hearts say it’s unlikely to be a Scot or home-based appointment who will become their next manager. So who would you go for?
CRAIG: My goodness, there are a zillion foreign candidates out there. Bodo Glimt’s Kjetil Knutsen always gets a mention, but he could be destined for higher than Hearts.
ANDY: Former Socceroos boss Graham Arnold is out of work after stepping down from his post Down Under last month. Given the number of Aussies in the Hearts squad and his track record of success both at A-League level and on the international stage, the 61-year-old would be a worthwhile candidate.
SCOTT: The one I would look at is SK Brann’s head coach Erik Horneland. He has done a solid job and has won the Norwegian Cup. He would tick a lot of the boxes of what Hearts are looking for.
