Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic begin the defence of their Scottish Premiership title at home to Kilmarnock later this afternoon as their new 24/25 campaign gets underway.
The Hoops were unbeaten in pre-season after impressive victories over English Premier League giants Manchester City and Chelsea following wins over Queen’s Park and DC United and will hope to take their summer form into the league.
With Alistair Johnston and Cameron Carter-Vickers only recently returning to action following their exploits in the Copa America, there are doubts over their inclusion this Sunday, while Kasper Schmeichel looks set to make his league debut for the club after moving to Celtic Park on a free transfer.
The Scotsman predict how the Hoops will line up against Kilmarnock in their season opener.

The Scotland international looked fit and prepared after featuring in the club's pre-season tour of America. He's Rodgers' first choice left-back and will be in the back four this weekend. | SNS Group
6. CM: Callum McGregor
When the Hoops captain is fit, he starts. Simple as that really. | SNS Group
7. CM: Reo Hatate
The talented midfielder has got a good pre-season under his belt after last season's niggling injury issues. Rodgers will be happy he has came through the summer friendlies unscathed and will start him this weekend. | SNS Group
8. CM: Matt O'Riley
The subject of failed bids from Atlanta and Southampton recently, O'Riley's future is very much up in the air. That said, he hasn't let speculation affect his performances in pre-season, so Rodgers will have no hesitation about starting him this Sunday - should he remain a Celtic player. | SNS Group
