Celtic and Rangers' stars came through the international break relatively unscathed.
Gers midfielder Ryan Jack was forced to withdraw from the Scotland set-up early doors ahead of their Euro 2020 qualifier double header with Russia and San Marino.
The Light Blues star pulled out and was replaced by Declan Gallagher but it is not yet known how long Jack, 27, will be sidelined.
