How on earth do Inverness Caley Thistle follow last season? The Highlanders enjoyed incredible success, finishing a best-ever third in the league and picking up the Scottish Cup for the first time.
This term has already dished up a taste of disappointment, with John Hughes's men tripping at the first hurdle on their European debut.
Inverness were neat and tidy in that 1-0 loss to Astra but lacked punch up front.

       
With a largely settled squad, much will depend on how new arrivals Dani Lopez and Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo adapt to the rigours of Scottish football.
Can the Spaniard and the DR Congo international provide the goals to complement the patient approach play encouraged by Hughes and new assistant Brian Rice?
The loss of Graeme Shinnie will be sorely felt but Richie Foran's return from long-term injury is a timely boost.
Hughes is not going to give up on a winning formula, so expect much of the same; a solid defensive platform and lots of possession, with the onus of rising star Ryan Christie to create openings.
Motherwell fans were put through the mill last season but ended on a high after salvaging their top flight status in style.
And manager Ian Baraclough will be hoping to build on the momentum from last season's play-off final triumph over Rangers.


Wingers Lionel Ainsworth and Marvin Johnson were integral in that 6-1 aggregate success, as were experienced pair Stephen Pearson and Scott McDonald, so the Australian's decision to stay on is good news.
A huge number of players have left Fir Park over the summer, with the promising Lee Erwin gone from the Steelmen's attack.
The decision to bring David Clarkson back may have raised a few eyebrows after his goals dried up at Dundee, while fellow strikers Louis Moult and Wes Fletcher arrive from the lower reaches of English football and it's vital that at least one of that trio finds his feet quickly.
