The Scottish Premiership is up and running with Celtic FC looking to defend their title.
Total Football sent young reporter Paudie O'Callaghan to Glasgow where he went behind the scenes with Ireland and Celtic star Liam Scales.
Paudie says: "Celtic means everything to me, I have been following Celtic for years now. My Mam and Dad, and my Grandparents are all Celtic fans. It's a brilliant family day out."
Even though he is only 16, the Limerick legend has made many a pilgrimage to Paradise, but this time out it was access all areas.
And he had some questions for the defender - like who was his toughest opponent?
"Probably Cristiano Ronaldo. He's incredible. I played twice against him, but the first time they beat us in Portugal 3-0 and he scored two goals. All he needs is half a yard of space and the ball is in the back of the net, so that was a real challenge, " says Scales.
When he is not running around after Ronaldo what does the Irish star like to do? "I like to fish and I like to play a bit of golf as well when I can, when we're allowed, but sometimes we're a bit too busy."
And what about tunes? "I used to listen to a lot of Oasis when I was younger, and then they obviously came back last year and I went to that gig, so I'd say Oasis, and my favourite song could be Live Forever."
After Paudie put the Celtic man on the spot, we decided we should ask him some questions too!
Who is your favourite Celtic player of all time?
"It has to be Henrik Larsson. He scored so many goals for Celtic, he was brilliant. Actually, he could probably still be able to play for us. When he left Celtic, he played for Man Utd and won the Champions League with Barcelona. That shows how good a player he was."
What's the best Celtic match you ever went to?
"I think that was Leipzig at home in November 2024. It was my first European game, and the atmosphere was electric under the lights. We won the game 3-1."
Will they be champions this time out?
"We have lost some players this Summer, so we need to replace them. I still think we need a bit more quality and need improvements on last year. We won the league, but quality wasn't there all season."
Season 2 of Total Football, presented by Aisling O'Reilly and DavidMC, is streaming here now on RTÉ Player.
