The Record Sport team have delivered their unanimous verdict on the big talking points in Scottish football, including the impact of Lawrence Shankland's injury at Rangers, the SFA's youth minutes proposals, Celtic's challenge without Hyun-jun Yang and Aberdeen's goalless run.
SFA youth minutes proposals
Keith Jackson said it is hard to argue against the message as youngsters need all the help they can get, but warned that if the best are being head hunted early by clubs down south, fast-tracking the leftovers is unlikely to appeal to club managers.
Michael Gannon called it an admirable effort, adding there is an argument for even stronger suggestions but this might be the best way to tempt clubs into getting on board. Scott McDermott said the measures are excellent in theory and the best way to get young Scottish players game time, even if clubs resist because it puts them under pressure to sort out academies and provide proper pathways.
Fraser Wilson said he loves the proposals, noting quality young players are coming through and being poached by English clubs, and a better chance of first team football here might convince them to stay.
Shankland injury blow for Rangers
Keith Jackson described it as the latest in a long list of hammer blows for Derek McInnes, and suggested Rangers have pushed the boat out for Kevin Kelsy so they might as well throw him in at the deep end.
Michael Gannon said it is a big blow as Shankland was finding his feet and the back of the net, leaving Rangers light up top with Kelsy needing time to settle and Naderi still young and inconsistent. Scott McDermott called it a body blow for McInnes and the supporters, adding the manager must be thanking his lucky stars they got Kelsy in on deadline day, especially with Youssef Chermiti also crocked.
Fraser Wilson said Shankland remains the most proven scorer at Ibrox, but with Kelsy joining an expensive list of back-up strikers including Naderi and Bojan Miovski, McInnes still has plenty in reserve who need to step up.
Celtic without Hyun-jun Yang
Keith Jackson said Yang has become one of Martin O'Neill's key men after finding the form of his life, and while he will be missed, O'Neill is not short of options in wide areas. Michael Gannon said Celtic will cope with great difficulty as Yang has been in top form and will be a big miss.
Scott McDermott said Celtic will suffer given his current form, but have enough wide men like Seb Tounekti, James Forrest and potentially Camilo Duran to fill the gap. Fraser Wilson said Celtic have millions of pounds worth of replacements for Yang so it really should not be a problem, while praising the youngster for taking his game onto a new level this season.
Aberdeen's goalless run
Keith Jackson said it is not a matter of how worried Aberdeen fans should be as they already are, adding Stephen Robinson is a shrewd operator who will eventually whip them into shape, but the punters at Pittodrie might not like what that looks like.
Michael Gannon said there is a fair bit of worry as the clean sheet was welcome against Kilmarnock but Aberdeen look bereft of ideas going forward. Scott McDermott said it is not panic stations yet, but results and performances have to improve fairly quickly, and the club must give Robinson the time he needs.
Fraser Wilson noted Willie Miller described Saturday's display as boring, and while it has not been the start Robinson or his side would have expected, next week's cup quarter final against Kilmarnock offers a chance to inject positivity into the campaign.
