After a week where Celtic qualified for the Champions League group stages and drew Barcelona for the third successive time, it's back to Premiership action this weekend.
And the big games keep on coming for Celtic, who are at home to last year's runners-up Aberdeen in a Saturday 3pm kick-off. Rangers take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Friday night, with a win guaranteeing them top spot by the time they take on Celtic on September 10.
Elsewhere Hearts travel to Partick Thistle; third-placed Ross County face a trip to second-bottom Hamilton Accies; pointless Inverness CT are at home to St Johnstone and Motherwell host Dundee.
Kenny Miller scored his first goal for Rangers at Rugby Park 16 years ago in a 4-2 win over Kilmarnock. He could reach his 100th for the club if he nets on Friday night and has the capacity to do so with nine goals in the last seven league games against Killie
The last two top-flight meetings between the sides have been won by Kilmarnock 1-0, with former Rangers midfielder Dean Shiels scoring the winner in the most recent encounter.
Andy Walker's prediction: Kilmarnock 0-4 Rangers
Key player: Kenny Miller
The veteran striker still has a big part to play despite the signing of Joe Garner.
Ian Crocker's prediction: Kilmarnock 0-3 Rangers
Key player: Harry Forrester
Enjoying a lively spell just now - he can score, he can create, he might have too much for Killie.
Aberdeen have struggled in the Premiership at Celtic Park in recent times, losing their last 22 games against the Scottish champions and conceding 62 goals in that time.
Add to that the fact Derek McInnes' side have been beaten in their last five away Premiership matches, drawing the other one.
Andy Walker's prediction: Celtic 3-1 Aberdeen
Key player: Craig Gordon
How long will he keep his place with new signing Dorus de Vries ready to start?
Ian Crocker's prediction: Celtic 2-1 Aberdeen
Key player: James Forrest
A player reborn under Brendan Rodgers. Could he finally realise the potential? He's going about it in the right way for sure.
Liam Boyce is the top scorer in the Scottish Premiership this season with five goals from his first three appearances, including a hat-trick against Highland rivals Inverness CT.
Hamilton have failed to win in their previous five league matches but have recorded wins in their last two meetings with Ross County, keeping clean sheets in both.
Andy Walker's prediction: Hamilton Accies 1-2 Ross County
Key player: Liam Boyce
He has started the season on fire, a terrific goal threat.
Ian Crocker's prediction: Hamilton Accies 1-2 Ross County
Key player: Liam Boyce
Five goals in two games. Back in the Northern Ireland squad. Say no more. He's flying.
Inverness CT are yet to record a point from their first three Premiership matches of 2016/17 but might take confidence from their past five home league matches with Tommy Wright's men.
They have won four of those games and conceded just once against St Johnstone in 11 encounters.
Andy Walker's prediction: Inverness CT 0-0 St Johnstone
Key player: Greg Tansey
Inverness need their big players to perform to get their season started.
Ian Crocker's prediction: Inverness CT 1-3 St Johnstone
Key player: Danny Swanson
Rather like Liam Boyce, a man in the zone just now. Penalty king of late but offers so much more besides.
Motherwell lost a last-minute goal to Rangers at Ibrox last week, contributing to their record of losing six points from winning positions in their opening three Premiership games.
Dundee haven't kept a clean sheet in nine league games but have scored in the last seven consecutive matches in all competitions.
Andy Walker's prediction: Motherwell 1-1 Dundee
Key player: Chris Cadden
A young player who could have a big impact this season, despite being left out of the Scotland under-21 squad this week.
Ian Crocker's prediction: Motherwell 2-2 Dundee
Key player: Mark O'Hara
Relishing a more advanced role and he's scored in the last two games.
Hearts have won the last three league games between the sides with Partick Thistle failing to score in any of them.
Partick Thistle, having played only two league fixtures so far this season, have registered a league-lowest five shots on target, whereas Hearts have recorded the most in the Premiership with 17.
Andy Walker's prediction: Partick Thistle 0-2 Hearts
Key player: Callum Paterson
Hopefully Hearts can hold on to him with strong interest from clubs down south.
Ian Crocker's prediction: Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts
Key player: Jamie Walker
Back from a two-match ban and no doubt eager for action. He could make the difference.
Watch the goals from Kilmarnock v Rangers tonight on Sky Sports News HQ from 10pm and Saturday's Premiership action on Goals Express from 6pm.
