With the title and Scottish League Cup added to his trophy collection in his first year at the helm, Ange Postecoglou has made a strong start to life in Glasgow but he'll know that at this club the expectation is to keep on winning.

The Celtic chiefs have done some impressive transfer business to help him try and do that – with a permanent deal for impressive 2021/22 loanee Jota and the signing of Aaron Mooy on a free transfer two of the standout moves – while there is a fair bit of positivity surrounding the club on the back of an unbeaten pre-season schedule.

But ultimately, Sunday's game against Aberdeen is what matters. Jim Goodwin's side head into the new campaign in high spirits themselves after some eye-catching results in pre-season and will be hoping to banish their 2021/22 demons this term.

Our prediction: Celtic v Aberdeen

Starting your season with a trip to face Celtic on the road is a tough ask but there appears to be plenty of positivity at Aberdeen right now.

After a dismal 2021/22 campaign, they'll be determined to bounce back this term but they're up against the reigning SPFL champions.

With new signing Moritz Jenz rushed into the starting XI due to injuries, Aberdeen may get their chances but keeping a ferocious Celtic forward line quiet will likely be too much to ask.

Our prediction: Celtic 3-1 Aberdeen (10/1 at bet365)
