Celtic started their Scottish Premiership title defence with a 1-0 victory over Dundee at Celtic Park. Benjamin Nygren scored the decisive goal with a second-half header from Kieran Tierney's cross.

Despite the win, Celtic's new signing Kasper Hogh spurned multiple scoring opportunities in the first half. Goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo also made a crucial save late on to deny Dundee substitute Ashley Hay an equalizer. The performance highlighted a need for Celtic to find more sharpness, especially with a Champions League qualifier approaching.

Dundee, meanwhile, showed positive intent and created chances, with Charlie Reilly also going close in the first half. They could have profited from their 11 shots and Celtic's wastefulness. Ultimately, Celtic secured three points, capitalizing on slip-ups from rivals Rangers and Hearts.
