Celtic will begin their title defence at home to Aberdeen this afternoon on an important day for the club.
It is set to be a big afternoon for the Hoops as captain Callum McGregor unfurls the title flag from last season's Premiership title win. That poignant moment will quickly be turned into a focus on three points very quickly though after Rangers got their campaign off to a winning start away at Livingston on Saturday.
Boss Ange Postecoglou has been busy in the transfer window and has signed Daizen Maeda, Benjamin Siegrist, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Alexandro Bernabei, Jota, Moritz Jenz and Aaron Mooy so far. That means there are plenty of decisions to be made in terms of who starts in this one, with so much depth in the ranks. Glasgow Live Sport takes a stab at who the Australian may opt to go for in Celtic's league curtain raiser.

Goalkeeper - Hart
This one shouldn't be too difficult. Siegrist has signed to provide competition to former England number one Joe Hart, who is still Celtic's first-choice.
Defence - Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Welsh, Taylor
We reckon it's a familiar back four for the Hoops. Josip Juranovic goes in at right-back with Greg Taylor on the other side. Carter-Vickers will partner up with Stephen Welsh as Carl Starfelt is still recovering from injury.
Midfield - McGregor, Hatate, Turnbull
This is one of two hard areas to predict. McGregor's role in the middle is certain but the others aren't as set in stone. We think Reo Hatate will provide legs and David Turnbull gets the nod to build on his strong pre-season.
Attack - Maeda, Kyogo, Jota
Another tough area, we think Giorgos Giakoumakis and Liel Abada will need to settle for places on the bench. Kyogo is through the middle with Maeda and Jota either side of him.
Celtic XI: Hart, Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Welsh, Taylor, McGregor, Turnbull, Hatate, Maeda, Kyogo, Jota.
