How will Celtic, Rangers and Hearts fare in Europe and will Fashion Sakala start against Liverpool? Monday Jury

KEITH JACKSON: The play-off certainly feels like a very comforting safety net now that we have Spain and Erling Haaland to deal with. But second spot in Group Aaarg can still be a realistic target for Steve Clarke and the boys. DAVID McCARTHY: Tough, but possible. Spain should skoosh it but Norway, apart from the obvious, are no great shakes and there are potential banana skins in Georgia and Cyprus. But second place is there to be taken. ANDY NEWPORT: That play-off spot is looking pretty handy now. Spain may be in a transitional phase but they still have bags of quality and I’d rather not think about what Haaland is going to do to our defence. MICHAEL GANNON: It’s a pretty stinky section to be honest after pulling the best player on the planet out of pot three. But anything is possible under Steve Clarke so we have to keep the faith.

Will Scotland win against Ukraine and what changes should Steve Clarke make? Monday Jury

KEITH JACKSON: Wouldn't that be lovely? But this is Scotland we're talking about so it's highly unlikely to be so stress free. I'd bite your hand off for a 0-0 draw in Krakow right now. CRAIG SWAN: You worry that Ukraine will have a freshness edge. But Scotland will make chances and can get their point.

Is Rangers winger Ryan Kent on a par with Celtic star Jota and how will Scotland fare in the Nations League? Monday Jury

KEITH JACKSON: In terms of ability, yes. Kent has got the lot. But Miller is right to question the winger’s productivity. Perhaps there wouldn’t be such a heavy onus on him if Rangers had recruited someone to do the same job on the other side of the pitch.

Will Rangers shock Napoli and what must Celtic do to get a result against Shakhtar? Monday Jury

Andy Newport: No. The majority of sports across the country felt it OK to proceed with fixtures over the weekend so long as the necessary respects were paid and football could have done the same.

Is the gulf between Celtic and Rangers growing after the derby day demolition? - Monday Jury

Keith Jackson: It’s always dangerous to read too much into one game but, that said, Celtic do appear to be kicking on to the next level while Rangers are moving backwards. There’s time for Rangers to recover but the alarm bells should be clanging.

Will Rangers spring Alfredo Morelos transfer shock and can Aberdeen topple Hearts in third? Monday Jury

KEITH JACKSON: All eyes will be on Ibrox where Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent are entering the final year of their contracts. Morelos might be more trouble than he’s worth. But Kent could prove impossible to replace.

How does Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst handle Alfredo Morelos going in to the PSV Eindhoven clash? Monday Jury

CRAIG SWAN: Rangers are far bigger than one player. The manager doesn’t need to take special measures. It’s about a club, not an individual.

What must Rangers do at Ibrox to stand Champions League group stage chance and where do Celtic need to strengthen? Monday Jury

ANDY NEWPORT: A clean sheet for a start but that’s easier said than done against a PSV side who’ve already blasted 19 goals in their first five games of the season. If they can fashion a lead they stand a great chance of finishing the job in Holland.
