Celtic FC began the defense of their Scottish Premiership title with a professional 2-0 away victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie on August 10, 2025. The champions showed their class and efficiency to overcome a tough opening-day fixture, scoring twice while keeping a clean sheet against the Dons. This result immediately puts Celtic at the top of the table and sets the standard for the season ahead, demonstrating their intent to retain the crown. For Aberdeen, it was a disappointing start under the lights in front of their home fans, but they showed resilience against the country's best team. Manager Brendan Rodgers would have been pleased with a controlled performance from his side to secure three vital points on the road.
