Celtic fans welcome champions with impressive four stand display

Celtic welcome Kilmarnock this afternoon as they begin their Scottish Premiership title defence - and Brendan Rodgers' league holders were greeted to an impressive fan display when they took to the Parkhead turf. 

All four stands at the 60,000 capacity stadium were involved, with a banner reading, "Fly the flag. We've won the league again. Fly the flag."

The atmosphere was electric and Celtic started strongly against Kilmarnock.

Reo Hatate gave the Hoops the lead after 17 minutes and continue to dominate the clash.

With Rangers dropping points after their 0-0 draw with Heart of Midlothian on Saturday, the emphasis is on Rodgers' men to get three points and start their quest for another league crown as the mean to go on.
