BBC Sport Scotland have been taking a look at the faces to keep an eye out for in the new Scottish Premiership season. Here's who to look out for at Easter Road. Warren O'Hora has looked a solid centre-half with decent long passing, has good organisational skills garnered by captaincy experience at MK Dons and, along with the arrival of Marvin Ekpiteta from Blackpool, could be the solution to Hibs' long-standing problems at the back.However, it is Scotland youth international Rudi Molotnikov who is most exciting the Easter Road faithful.The 18-year-old midfielder is not a new signing, having made his senior debut as a substitute in last season's Europa Conference League defeat by Aston Villa, but he is only now pushing for regular game time after being loaned out to Stirling Albion in January.Molotnikov was unable to prevent them being relegated from League 1, but he has returned first-team ready and scored twice and played a lead role in other goals as Hibs qualified from their League Cup group.Read Clive's full piece here.

With the new Premiership season kicking off this weekend, BBC Sport Scotland have been taking a look at some new faces to keep an eye on.St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson will be pleased with the early signs from his summer signings.Brentford loanee Ellery Balcombe was St Mirren's star man in their Europa Conference League first-leg qualifier against Valur as he looks to be the Buddies' latest impressive goalkeeping signing, while Dennis Adeniran has looked influential in midfield after arriving from Hapoel Petah Tikva. Full-back Jaden Brown has also impressed after making his loan from Lincoln City permanent.However, Dublin-born 22-year-old Roland Idowu could turn out to be the most exciting of them all judging from the midfielder's pre-season goals and influential direct running as a first-leg substitute in Iceland after arriving on loan from Shrewsbury Town.Read the rest of Clive's piece here.

BBC Sport Scotland have been taking a look at the faces to keep an eye on in the new Scottish Premiership season. Here's who to watch out for at Pittodrie. Among Jimmy Thelin's first acts as new Aberdeen manager was to recruit Sivert Heltne Nilsen, with whom he worked at Elfsborg, from last year's Norwegian championship runners-up Brann while talking up the defensive midfielder's leadership qualities.Nilsen's last act for Brann was to be sent off after 10 minutes of a 5-1 thrashing by leaders Bodo/Glimt and early observations from Dons observers was that he is not the most mobile of operators.However, his mere presence has given fellow 32-year-old Graeme Shinnie the freedom to transform himself into a goalscoring and goal-creating midfield dynamo.Read Clive's full piece here.

It was a disappointing first-half showing from Kilmarnock, far from what they showed last week.There was little composure on the ball - which led to little time on the ball - and little composure off it. The Cercle goal was entirely preventable and there were a few more chances that Kilmarnock offered up freely.However, the hosts failed to properly punish Kilmarnock and there was a spell in the second half where it seemed the visitors would force a goal.But there was no composure in the box, either. Findlay and Watkins both fluffed chances in the second half that should have rippled the net and when those chances were not converted, the hope diminished.

Scotland centre Cameron Redpath will miss the start of the upcoming rugby season after undergoing surgery on a "long-standing" shoulder injury.The 24-year-old was instrumental in Bath's run to the Premiership final last season, which they lost to Northampton Saints. Redpath has suffered plenty of injuries already in his short career and has been plagued by a shoulder problem."He is currently not in squad training, instead working with Bath Rugby’s conditioning coaches and is progressing well," said Bath in a statement. "The club will be in a better position in mid-August to know for which game he will return."It might put the centre, capped 14 times by Scotland, in a doubtful position for the upcoming Autumn tests against Fiji, South Africa, Portugal and Australia.
