Scottish Premiership Season Opens with Rangers Draw and Hearts Defeat
The Scottish Premiership season opened with Rangers drawing 1-1 against Dundee United under new manager Derek McInnes, who made several debut appearances. Rangers conceded first but equalized in the second half, reflecting a challenging start to their title pursuit. Meanwhile, Hearts suffered a 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen, with late goals including a stoppage-time penalty sealing their loss. Hearts' new manager Wouter Vrancken faces early pressure after a poor start following last season's near title win and Champions League exit.
