The league season hasn't even been over for a week and clubs are already announcing their ins and outs while fans are drafting up wish-lists.Is a deep-lying midfielder one of your St Mirren target areas? If so, a Scottish Premiership free agent is offering his services.Despite making 22 appearances in the top flight in the season gone by, captain Ross Docherty was released by Dundee United, and it received mixed reviews among the Tangerine support.Speaking to BBC Scotland after his exit, the Paisley-born 32-year-old revealed he'd been keen to stick in the Premiership and return to old roots."I'd love to stay in the top flight but I'll explore any option that's put in front of me," the former Partick Thistle midfielder said."I was at St Mirren until 13 or 14 and they thought I wasn't developed enough at that time, so I had to go elsewhere and made my way."But it's a club that's close to me and something I'd definitely look to if the offer came up."Jim Goodwin was the manager when St Mirren won the League Cup and I was out celebrating with everyone."Stephen Robinson will have his own targets, but never say never and I think I would make a few friends and family happy if that did come about."Would Docherty be an asset to the Buddies?

Can Aberdeen repeat their Scottish Cup heroics and upset Celtic today? The Dons are 15/2 outsiders to do so according to Sky Bet

Celtic kickstarted their 2025-26 Scottish Premiership campaign with a victory last weekend - with Brendan Rodgers' side reigning supreme 1-0 against St. Mirren at home. They are expected to continue their winning ways today - as they take Aberdeen away from home in a league clash. At the time of writing - Celtic are big odds-on favourites at 3/10 to come away with the win, while the hosts are 15/2 outsiders. Aberdeen are 6/1 outsiders with Sky Bet to upset Celtic in the Scottish Premiership today It is worth noting that Aberdeen upset Celtic in a major boilover in May's Scottish Cup final. For those anticipating a draw, that is the second best-backed result in the market at 9/2 odds. Elsewhere, there are also three Price Boosts on offer for this contest - the first of which includes Celtic to win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 at 5/2. Meanwhile, the other two boosts need Adam Idah to score 2+ goals at 7/1, and each team to receive 3+ cards at 11/1. Idah scored 13 goals for Celtic at a league level last season, while these two sides combined to have five yellow cards in the aforementioned Scottish Cup final. Sky Bet odds for Aberdeen vs Celtic: Celtic 3/10 Aberdeen 15/2 Draw 9/2 Sky Bet Price Boosts for Aberdeen vs Celtic: Celtic to win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 WAS 9/4 NOW 5/2 Adam Idah to score 2+ goals WAS 11/2 NOW 7/1 Each team to receive 3+ cards WAS 9/1 NOW 11/1

Scottish Premiership: Celtic go to Aberdeen in early Sunday kick-off

Update: Date: 12:11 BST Title: What happened yesterday? Content: Aberdeen v Celtic (12:30) Plenty happened, that's what. Drama across the board from 15:00. Click through the links below to relive the best of yesterday's action Update: Date: 12:09 BST Title: Tyrone sets the scene Content: Aberdeen v Celtic (12:30) Tyrone SmithBBC Scotland at Pittodrie We haven't had to wait too long for an early-season Scottish Premiership blockbuster. Pittodrie is the venue this afternoon as two of the game's heavyweights, Aberdeen and Celtic, collide. It is fair to say the two sides have perhaps been a little bit slow out of the blocks so far this term. The Dons failed to impress on their league opener, going down 2-0 at Hearts, while Celtic struggled to break down a stubborn St Mirren before a late Luke McCowan goal secured a narrow 1-0 win. So both sides will be aiming for better today. The last time the teams met was in last season's Scottish Cup final, which saw the Dons return north with the silverware. So it wouldn't be a stretch to suggest Brendan Rodgers' side will be heading to the Granite City with revenge on their minds. Update: Date: 12:05 BST Title: LINE-UPS from Pittodrie Content: Aberdeen v Celtic (12:30) Aberdeen: Mitov, Jensen, Milne, Dorrington, Devlin, Shinnie, Nilsen, Milanovic, Aouchiche, Keskinen, Yengi.
