August 4-5, 2012: It Begins


August 4-5, 2012

The Clydesdale Bank Premier League season is set to start off strongly, with a Celtic home game on the first day likely to boost the average attendance.

Goalkeeping howler hands Celtic win vs Aberdeen
Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen
Scorers: Commons

Aberdeen put in a strong performance against the defending champions, with new signing Jonny Hayes proving a particular threat, and veteran captain Russell Anderson containing Celtic's attacks. However, the only goal of the game came from a trundling shot from Kris Commons which Jamie Langfield allowed to slip past him.

Hearts 1-1 St Johnstone
Scorers: Templeton; Tadé [1]

Kilmarnock 0-0 Dundee

Ross County 0-2 Motherwell
Scorers: Higdon x2 [2]

St Mirren 1-2 Inverness CT
Scorers: Guy; Ross, McKay [3]

Dundee Utd 1-2 Hibernian
Scorers: Gardyne; Griffiths x2 [4]

[1] Saints are more confident after doing slightly better in Europe. TTL, penalty isn't scored, and Tadé gets an early goal.
[2] OTL, the biggest chances went to Higdon, but he missed.
[3] TTL, McGregor's 92nd minute shot misses
[4] United don't have the momentum they had after the Dynamo game, given that they played so horribly.

Next update will probably be the CL/EL playoffs. Could someone please recommend me a site/file where I can create a league table and save it to edit again later? It'll be good for keeping track of all these fixtures.
