The final five days. Just one more working week until we have kick-off in Scotland with the Scottish Premiership, starting at Pittodrie at 12.30pm on Saturday with Aberdeen welcoming Rangers. Of course, it will be slightly surreal without any fans but the most important thing is football is returning.
The next few days will be full of predictions, opinions and maybe some optimism. On top of the build-up there will be some tense moments in the transfer market, notable Alfredo Morelos possibly leaving Rangers and then there is the Hearts and Partick Thistle arbitration process.
We will have all the latest from around Scottish football throughout the day as it happens, including transfer news.

Lille’s Morelos valuation
Lille’s value Alfredo Morelos is €15m.
L’Equipe report the club’s valuation which is likely to be short of what Rangers want for the Colombian striker.
