Celtic will unfurl a record-breaking 56th Scottish league flag at Parkhead on Monday night, with a sixth consecutive title already in their sights. The champions begin their quest for a 57th top-flight crown against Dundee.
The Hoops clinched their 14th league title in 15 years in the most dramatic of finales in May, scoring two late goals to deny Hearts an historic triumph. After years of comfortable title victories, the close finish served as a warning that nothing can be taken for granted.
O'Neill takes permanent charge
Martin O'Neill, 74, has accepted the manager's job on a permanent basis after impressing during interim spells. The veteran boss will aim to launch the Double winners' title defence in style.
Dundee arrive at Parkhead under the lights on Monday evening for the Scottish Premiership curtain-raiser.
