Peter Martin, Gary Harkins and Tam McManus go around the grounds after a dramatic Scottish Premiership weekend, with the title race suddenly flipped, a relegation fight taking shape, and the search for a new Hibs manager heating up.
Who's up and who's down in the Scottish Premiership?
Dundee are flying under Steven Pressley, in the top half and playing good football, while Motherwell are in freefall under his successor to Jens Berthel Askou, six defeats in eight. Aberdeen and Hibs shared a 1-1 draw, with Kevin Nisbet, now on 12 goals and wearing the armband, again the difference, and Stuart Armstrong catching the eye off the bench.
Who will be the next Hibs manager?
With the board and Malky Mackay under real pressure, the panel expect Hibs to look abroad, and run through the names in the frame, from Jaydon Thomasson to Simo Valakari, while Steven Pressley and Jordan McGlynn are ruled out by their Hearts connections.
Who is getting relegated?
Kilmarnock, St Johnstone and Falkirk are the panel's picks for the bottom scrap, though Kilmarnock's turnaround under Neil McCann, backed up by a battling draw at Hearts, suggests they may yet climb clear, and Dundee United's 3-0 win on Jim Goodwin's return was the shock of the weekend.
Has the title race really flipped?
Three weeks ago Celtic looked set to dominate; two Old Firm defeats later, Rangers are two points back and rising. The panel argue nothing is won in September, but Celtic must strengthen physically in January or the momentum stays with Rangers.
