Scottish Premiership, August 1 2015
First of all, this will be a quick and somewhat lazy entry, as I was busy in the days after and then forgot to write a blog entry. Until now.

Anyway, Scotland was ticked off the list with a visit to Celtic Park on the first day of the Scottish Premiership season. Starting a week before the English season (and therefore Bolton's first game) it was an ideal time to visit.
Being also the first day of the season and the fact that Celtic unsurprisingly won the title last season, it was a chance to see the unveiling of the champions' flag at Celtic. Maybe winning the title is just too easy for Celtic these days, but the ceremony of raising the flag on the pitch did seem as much a formality as wrapping up the title was.
As for the match itself, Celtic ran out fairly comfortable winners without being truly impressive. The Hoops were in front in the fourth minute after Leigh Griffiths converted a spot kick, then Stefan Johansen made it two towards the end of the first half.

Celtic Park is a great ground and a grand place, there were snippets and glimpses of the famous atmosphere, the Green Brigade supporters group constantly kept going in the one corner of the ground, but it was largely passive.
