CELTIC manager Ronny Deila let loose a trio of new signings against Aberdeen as his squad reshaping gathers pace.

Frontmen Stefan Scepovic, John Guidetti and Aleksander Tonev all featured in the 2-1 victory, although none of them were on target.

Of course, new captures don't always hit the mark, as Celtic have found recently as a succession of strikers have failed to shape up.

Tony Cascarino joined Celtic from Aston Villa under Liam Brady back in 1991 and is one such case.

HOOPERMAN (Riddrie) asks: Is it the case that Tony Cascarino failed to score during his Celtic career?

It is not the case.Tony scored four goals in his 24 league appearances for the Hoops. His first goal came on October 5, 1991, when he came on as a substitute against Hearts, scored and was sent off - all within six minutes - as Celtic won 3-1.

He also scored the equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Rangers at Ibrox on November 2 of the same year, three minutes after coming on as asubstitute.

Tom (Troon) - Hearts beat Rangers 2-1 at Ibrox recently in the opening game of the season. Can you confirm that the current Kilmarnock manager, Allan Johnston, scored a hat-trick against Rangers at Ibrox when he played for Hearts?

In January, 1996, Hearts beat Rangers 3-0 at Ibrox, and Allan scored all three goals. This was his first-ever senior career hat-trick. He later moved on to play for French club Rennes and also had a spell with Sunderland.

David (Mount Florida) - Can you explain the pyramid system being introduced this season?

Below Scottish League 2 we have the Highland League and the Lowland League. These divisions create level 5 on the pyramid. The two league winners will play off against each other, with the winner then playing the team finishing 10th in Scottish League 2 in a promotion and relegation play-off.

J Crawford (Glasgow) - When Jimmy Mason of Third Lanark retired though injury in the early 1950s did he receive a benefit match.

Yes, he did. A match was arranged between a Scotland XI and Sunderland FC on April 30, 1953 at Cathkin Park.

The Scotland team was:

Cowan (Morton), Young (Rangers), Harrower (Thirds), Scoular (Portsmouth), Cowie (Dundee), Aitken (Sunderland), T Wright (Sunderland), Henderson (Thirds), McPhail (Clyde), Steel (Dundee), Liddell (Liverpool).

Jimmy Mason received a great reception as he kicked off for the photo shoot in front of a 13,860 crowd. The result was 5-0 for Scotland with goals by Liddell, McPhail (3) and Wright. In the Sunderland side were internationals Trevor Ford (Wales), Billy Bingham (Ireland) and Len Shackleton (England).
