Celtic kick off the new Scottish Premiership season at home to Aberdeen this afternoon, hoping to lay down a marker for the weeks ahead.
I like the Daizen Maeda and Jota threats on each wing. It’s a particularly big day for 22-year-old Stephen Welsh who has only started three competitive games in 2022. Hart’s game is evolving at Celtic and he’s playing higher than ever before, so it’ll be interesting to see how that pans out in competitive games.

It is imagined that Giorgos Giakoumakis will need to settle for a place on the bench. It is a big call up front for the manager as Kyogo decides between his two star strikers. Stephen Welsh is expected to start beside Cameron Carter-Vickers at the back as Starfelt remains on the sidelines.

And Celtic have gone with a strong eleven, with attacking trio Jota, Daizen Maeda and Kyogo all in from the start. Ange Postecoglou's side will unfurl the flag to remember their Scottish Premiership triumph last season, but will get back to league action against Jim Goodwin's men after a solid pre-season. The back four is unchanged from the win over Norwich City last weekend.

“But what Ange probably deserves most credit for is being able to identify players in the Japanese market. “He completely changed Celtic’s style of play, the players clearly bought into his ideas and seem to have more energy in the team than before he came in. That balance allows them to play the way they want to and makes the passes from that side a little bit easier. “But we want to upset him. But to ring in another right sided one makes me think Christopher Jullien is away so i don't think he'll start today. In years gone by they’ve brought in players at a similar level and sold them for incredible amounts of money. This time it's Kyogo with the shot on goal. There could be Celtic debuts for new boys Aaron Mooy, Moritz Jenz and Alexandro Bernabei, while Benjamin Siegrist is on the bench as Joe Hart's understudy. A host of new signings including Bojan Miovski starts. But the former Hoops midfielder believes his ex-club should have signed a lef-sided centre back to bring more balance to the defence, but the fact they did suggests that Christopher Jullien is for the off. Kennedy is the first player of the afternoon to have his name taken for kicking through the back of Matt O'Riley. The former Celtic player even has time to take a touch into the box before picking his spot, but the Irishman sends the ball wide of the post.

That balance allows them to play the way they want to and makes the passes from that side a little bit easier. But to ring in another right sided one makes me think Christopher Jullien is away so i don't think he'll start today. Now, I just want to focus on my football and continue my development at this amazing football club. "There's not too much of a change compared to cup games. I think Celtic speaks for itself. And the only one who can't feature this afternoon is Liam Scales, who is ineligble to play against his parent club. Aberdeen have endured a bright start to the 2022/23 season, with four wins out of four from their Premier Sports Cup campaign. I felt like this is the place for me to be." However, a mix-up between the keeper and Welsh see's the ball fall through his legs and he just about manages to clear the danger. Kyogo is next to test the Donskeeper, as his strike from the edge of the box is parried away. Jota cuts it back to O'Riley on the edge of the box and his curling effort forces Roos into a fantastic save as he tips over at full stretch. However, the Dons have also yet to lose in their seven outings so far this season, with four wins out of four in their Premier Sports Cup group.

“It’s important we get our mindset right for that in the next few days at training, give a good performance and try and get a good result.” “It’s important that we’ve come through pre-season undefeated and we’ll try and take that mentality into the season. “When you think about the names that have done it over the years, for the club to ask me to do it is a huge honour, and for my family to watch that,” he said.
