- Hibernian manager David Gray handed Scottish Premiership debuts to three summer signings, goalkeeper Josef Bursik and centre-back duo Warren O'Hora and Marvin Ekpiteta, as the Hibees were thumped 3-0 in Paisley by St Mirren.
- Jordan Obita started at left-back, with Lewis Miller at right-back last Sunday against Saints. Club captain Joe Newell and Nathan Moriah-Welsh sat in front of the Hibs back four.
- Further forward, Josh Campbell was joined by Martin Boyle on the right-hand side and Rudi Molotnikov on the left. Dylan Vente lead the line with Mykola Kukharevych, the Ukrainian striker who has re-signed on loan from Swansea, having to make his second Hibs debut from the bench.
- Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers handed a competitive debut to one summer signing, as 37-year-old Danish international goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel kept a clean sheet as they beat Kilmarnock 4-0 at Celtic Park on Sunday.
- Greg Taylor, goalscorer Liam Scales, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston made up the reigning champions' back four. Reo Hatate - who scored the Hoops' opener - started in midfield alongside Matt O'Riley and club captain Callum McGregor.
- Nicolas Kühn, who netted Celtic's third goal against Killie, supported Kyogo Furuhashi alongside Celts stalwart James Forrest in attack. Daizen Maeda missed the opening game of the season due to a bruised knee.
