"When I heard I had the opportunity to come here, I agreed straight away.

Arbroath snatch late draw with Ayr in Championship opener
Nikolay Todorov struck a minute from time as promoted Arbroath got their William Hill Championship campaign under way with a 1-1 draw against Ayr. Arbroath were League One champions last season but life back in the second tier started inauspiciously as Jamie Murphy excellently curled a shot into the top corner from distance in the fifth minute. There was a brief delay as flares were thrown on to the pitch inside the first quarter-of-an-hour, after which Arbroath pushed hard for an equaliser and went close through Gavin Reilly after half-time. While Reilly missed a one-on-one chance, substitute Todorov made no mistake in the 89th minute, leaping above Shaun Want to head home Craig Watson's looping cross and guarantee a share of the spoils.

Celtic vs St Mirren: Visitors aim to spoil the party as Hoops hope to celebrate flag day with victory
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC will begin the defence of their Scottish Premiership title at home to St Mirren on Sunday. Hoops legend Paul McStay will unfurl the flag at Celtic Park before kick off after their success last season took their tally to 55 league trophies. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up It extended Celtic's title winning run to four as they finished 17 points clear of fierce rivals Rangers. St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson though insists they are not there to make up the numbers. The Buddies came within minutes of an upset on the final day of last season against Celtic before James Forrest struck an injury-time equaliser. It continued his remarkable success of scoring in 16 consecutive seasons. Celtic played seven friendlies over the course of last month, with standout victories over Sporting Lisbon and Newcastle United. They wrapped up their pre-season schedule with a penalty shoot-out win over Saudi Arabia side Al-Ahly in the Como Cup last week. But Rodgers has made no secret of his desire to strengthen the squad to replace the goals lost after the departures of Nicolas Kuhn, Kyogo and Matt O'Riley over the past 12 months. And fans are frustrated too with what they see as a lack of transfer activity. Meanwhile, Saints have punched above their weight in recent seasons securing three top-six finishes in the last three years. Stephen Robinson's men have made a promising start to the new campaign, qualifying for the last 16 of the Premier Sports Cup after victory against Ayr Utd last weekend. They'll host Hearts later this month but for now the focus is on league action as the Premiership returns this weekend. When does Celtic vs St Mirren kick-off?

Swedish star Benjamin Nygren, signed in a cut-price deal from Nordsjaelland, is in contention to make his debut for Celtic whilst there also could be second league debut for Kieran Tierney. Japanese striker Shin Yamada could feature as well but the game is likely to come too soon for Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, who is on the verge of joining from Manchester City on loan. For the visitors, Robinson has made nine summer signings as well as bringing back Roland Idowu and Killian Phillips. But he says not all of them will be in contention for starts on Sunday. Richard King though is expected to make his Buddies league debut at centre-back after joining from Cavalier FC in the Caribbean.
