Stark sign of how far Celtic and Rangers have fallen tonight ... Celtic were completely outclassed in every department by Midtjylland, a team the Scottish champions *should* be competing with Rangers look like lost boys against Roma Kudos to Aberdeen for their point in Cyprus

Privilege to be at Tynecastle today. Unique chance has presented itself for relentless Hearts after beating Celtic. Disharmony addles an Old Firm that can't find full remedies until January. Scottish football is on terra incognita with this title race ๐ https://t.co/cNJamkJzDT

An intoxicating night at Easter Road but Hibs floored by two marvellous extra-time goals by Midtjylland. Hibs were gallant and defended well - Jordan Obita in particular - but the Danesโ quality finally shone through. Not sure anyone can really complain about the outcome. Hibs

Thought Hibs did very well against Midtjylland tonight, picking up from where they left off last season. Dylan Levitt and debutant Josh Mulligan impressed in midfield, while the defence was excellent. Hibs are such a well-drilled unit under David Gray. The Danes showed they

Well played Hibs and in particular David Gray. A remarkable five-month reunification of a football club. You wonโt find him taking plaudits gladly given the type of person he is - but he deserves them by the dozen https://t.co/jgyFrjOQtN

Hibs keeper Jordan Smith is an enjoyable interviewee - clearly loving life at Easter Road after years as a No 2 and improving week on week. Heโs got a proud mum too, nice to write about a feelgood story ๐ https://t.co/EhRkOxMwrC

Perfect winterโs night for Rangers v Union Saint-Gilloise at Ibrox. Expecting goals. Both teams have nothing to lose. Leon King gets first start of season. Good to see John Souttar back on bench after injury
