We said: Aberdeen 1-3 Celtic

Aberdeen will look to put in dogged display and rediscover their scoring form against a somewhat leaky Celtic backline on Saturday as they attempt to claim a positive result in their opening home fixture. However, it is difficult to look beyond a Celtic win here and we can see Rodgers's rampant side outscoring their opponents to maintain their winning start to the new season. Read more.
