Proud Callum McGregor admits he's buzzing to unfurl the title flag on Sunday and get his team's title defence off to the best possible start against Aberdeen.
McGregor led Ange Postecoglou 's team to the title last season as they pipped Rangers to the post and reclaimed the trophy at the first time of asking. Having worn the armband throughout the Premiership-winning campaign, he'll get to do the honours of unfurling the flag when Aberdeen come to town.
From Billy McNeill to Scott Brown, t's an honour so many Celtic greats have enjoyed over the years and McGregor will add his name to the list ahead of the big kick-off at a packed-out Parkhead. But speaking to Celtic TV, he insists his focus is on the game itself, and making sure his team get off to the best possible start. He said: "There’s a real buzz and energy about the place with plenty of anticipation of the new season ahead. 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.
