Bristol City vs Celtic Prediction

Bristol City finished 19th in the EFL Championship last season, and endured poor form for much of their 2020/21 campaign. Manager Nigel Pearson, who was appointed in February this year, will be keen to ensure that they steer clear of the relegation spots next season.

Celtic, on the other hand, have a new manager at the helm in the form of Australian Ange Postecoglou. There has been a mixed reaction to the appointment, but Postecoglou is a highly experienced manager who has what it takes to succeed at the club.

Celtic have begun their pre-season well, and should be able to win here.

Prediction: Bristol City 0-2 Celtic
