- Two of Aberdeen's back three, Nicky Devlin and Slobodan Rubezic, made their Dons debuts against Livi alongside Jack MacKenzie and they'll be pleased with keeping a clean sheet against the Lions in West Lothian.
- Shayden Morris started at right wing-back with Jonny Hayes on the left. Graeme Shinnie was accompanied by Dante Polvara in front of the back four with Leighton Clakson supporting Duk and Bojan Miovski.
- The second Brendan Rodgers era at Celtic kicked off with a 4-2 win on flag day against Ross County, as the reigning champions and treble winners picked up where they left off.
- Maik Nawrocki made his Celtic debut, partnering Cameron Carter-Vickers in the Hoops' backline, and was the only summer arrival to start against the Staggies. Swedish defender Carl Starfelt has swapped Celtic for Celta Vigo in Spain.
