Well, there we had it. Football returned to Scotland with the start of the Premiership season over the weekend which saw fans have to watch their favourites online, via streams and even via cherry-picker like these two Aberdeen fans at Pittodrie. The action is not yet finished with Motherwell and Ross County completing the weekend’s fixtures this evening.
There were a number of big performances, a number of new faces and plenty of stars who continued to do what they do, namely Odsonne Edouard.

Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson has called for a quick resolution to the Ivan Toney transfer saga.
The striker is in-demand down south and wanted by both Celtic and Rangers.
Celtic have already had a bid turned down for the player.
Ferguson said: "We will have to wait and see with Ivan and it could be a distraction if his situation rumbles on. That wouldn’t be ideal. It would be better if things were resolved quickly, but the owners quite rightly won’t sell him unless they get the right price so it could be we end up with the best striker in League One playing for us at the start of the season so I’m quite relaxed about it.
Ivan won’t play in the first friendlies, but if he is still here as the new season approaches I will have to play him. I can’t sign anyone until he leaves which again is not ideal as I would want as much time as possible with the player we bring in to replace him."
