Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has almost his full squad to choose on the opening day of the Scottish Premiership season. The champions will fly the flag before kick-off against Jim Goodwin 's revamped Aberdeen side who are hell-bent on causing a shock at Parkhead.

Celtic will be aiming to start fast this season after losing three of their opening six games last year - a run which was corrected by going undefeated in the following 32 fixtures en route to title glory.

Daizen Maeda, Kyogo and Jota, on the right wing, was the preferred front three for last weekend's dress rehearsal will Norwich and it appears the likely choice to take on the men from the Granite City.

But Maeda's inclusion on the left has an impact on three of his team-mates. Firstly, it moves Jota across the pitch from his preferred slot on the left hand side.
