Celtic fans have their sights set on being crowned champions for the fifth successive Scottish Premiership season, with head coach Brendan Rodgers just one title away from securing a record 56th title win in the club’s history ahead of the new season started on August 3.
With six new signings already in the door at Celtic Park, Rodgers’ promise to re-fresh his squad this summer has been fulfilled and Celtic’s starting XI may look a little different when they kick-off the campaign with a home game against St Mirren.
