Last season the Hoops won the Premiership title, beat Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup final and advanced to the knockout rounds of the new-look Champions League.
They did however lose the Scottish Cup final to Aberdeen and this season they will face a Rangers team spurred on by new owners and a new manager, and have the added hurdle of needing to navigate a play-off tie to qualify into the Champions League.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Swedish attacker Benjamin Nygren was high on the Hoops’ wishlist this summer.
We then told you how he held positive talks with the Parkhead club a fortnight ago.
All that was holding up the deal was the fact the player was on holiday and now, according to the Daily Record, the 23-year-old has landed in Scotland to complete the switch.
Celtic will pay around £1.7million to land the Swedish international, who has been starring for Nordsjaelland in Denmark but only has six months left on his current contract.
