Expect goals as Celtic and Aberdeen clash in Scottish Premiership
Thom Watt is back to preview the weekend's top flight action with his abacus.
The biggest match of the weekend looks to be Aberdeen's visit to Celtic Park. For Brendan Rodgers it will be a quick return to action following Celtic's Champions League draw.
The two sides offer an intriguing prospect, with the reigning Champions looking irresistible going forward but suspect at the back, while Aberdeen have the opposite issue.
Several of Derek McInnes' squad have been at great pains to point out that they aim to challenge for the title this season, and Saturday will be their opportunity to show just that.
If there is a Scottish Premiership fixture which is almost guaranteed goals, it is this one. Only one fixture has produced more goals in the Premiership than Aberdeen's visits to Celtic Park, and in quite as one-sided a manner as in the SPL era.
Both sides have scored in five of the six meetings in the East End of Glasgow, with Celtic finding the net 20 times to Aberdeen's seven.
Both sides have danger men who obviously enjoy their opponent's. No players have scored more Premiership goals against Celtic than Niall McGinn and Adam Rooney (both three), and no players have scored more against Aberdeen than Kris Commons (six) and Leigh Griffiths (five).
Paul Hartley may have had to cope with losing two of his best attacking talents this summer, but he appears to have done very good business in securing two players with good experience of the Scottish Premiership.
Danny Williams' arrival from Inverness has given Hartley's side a real threat from dead balls, with two of the 28-year-old's corners having been converted already.
This will be particularly important, given Hartley's side scored just three goals from set-pieces in the whole of last term. Chief beneficiary has been Mark O'Hara, who arrived from Kilmarnock in the summer.
At just 20-years-old, the Scotland under-21 has already played almost 100 Premiership games, but hadn't offered a goal threat, failing to register for Killie in 78 league matches, and managing a single assist.
In 270 minutes of football for Dundee he already has two league goals - both from Williams' crosses - and an assist.
This one comes at the request of Jack Kennedy on Twitter, who had a keen eye on Hearts' demolition of Inverness Caledonian Thistle last weekend.
Don Cowie turned in a virtuoso performance, scoring two and providing a further two assists for Connor Sammon and Sam Nicholson. Jack wanted to know if there had been a performance as dominant as that in the Premiership era. The answer? Yes and no.
Have there been other players who have had a hand in four goals in a single Premiership match?
Yes. Kris Doolan scored four himself against Hamilton in January 2015 - the only man to do so in the Premiership thus far - while Celtic's Georgios Samaras was the first man to have a hand in four goals in a single match back in September 2013, scoring three and providing one assist.
In November 2013 Ryan Gauld provided the assists for all four goals during Dundee United's 4-1 defeat of Partick Thistle. Steven Maclean of St Johnstone has also been involved in a quartet of goals in a single match, scoring three and providing one for Liam Craig in a 4-1 win over Hamilton in September 2015, albeit one was from the penalty spot.
Anthony Stokes is the only other to have accomplished the feat, getting a hat-trick in the 6-0 win over Inverness CT and providing an assist for Leigh Griffiths. So far, nobody's managed five...
