Celtic edge past Dundee in season opener with new signings

Summary

Celtic opened their season with a 1-0 victory over Dundee at Celtic Park on flag night. The decisive goal came from Benji Nygren in the second half, marking a continuation of last season's trend as the team replicated their opening-day win from a year prior. However, concerns linger regarding squad depth, as Celtic has only added two players—Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh—before the crucial Champions League home match against LASK in 15 days. Manager Martin O'Neill faces pressure to bolster the team ahead of the upcoming fixture.

What they're saying

"
Seventy-one days after Celtic were last in competitive action, the champions finally returned as Martin O'Neill's side opened the new campaign with a 1-0 win over Dundee on flag night at Celtic Park. The scoreline mirrored last season's opening-day victory over St Mirren, played exactly a year earlier. Much of the pre-match excitement surrounded Celtic's two - and only - new arrivals as Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh made their competitive debuts.
