We react to all of last weekend's Scottish Premiership results including Dundee United 1-1 Rangers and preview Celtic vs Dundee.

Weekend results:

Dundee United 1-1 Rangers - McInnes's underwhelming debut
Aberdeen 2-1 Hearts - Hearts led, then late collapse
Falkirk 0-2 St Mirren
St Johnstone 4-3 Kilmarnock
Hibs 1-2 Motherwell
Previewing Celtic v Dundee and flag day

Peter Martin is joined by Alan "Roughie" Rough, Alec Rae and Tam McManus to react to a dramatic opening weekend of the 2026-27 Scottish Premiership — and to break down the European qualifier draws for the Scottish clubs.

Celtic learned they'll face LASK of Austria, while Rangers were handed a tie with Jagiellonia Białystok — and the panel assess the draws for Hearts, Hibs and Motherwell too.

On the pitch, it was a weekend of drama:
• Dundee United 1-1 Rangers — an underwhelming start for Derek McInnes's Rangers
• Aberdeen 2-1 Hearts — the Dons complete a stoppage-time smash-and-grab as Hearts collapse late
• Falkirk 0-2 St Mirren — Killian Phillips with a brace
• Hibs 1-2 Motherwell — Alfred Johansson's rebuilt Steelmen win on the road

Plus a look ahead to Celtic's league opener at home to Dundee on flag day — with the futures of Arne Engels and Alistair Johnston in the balance.
