  "account": "The Scottish Premiership kicks off with Celtic taking on Aberdeen at Celtic Park in a midweek encounter. Celtic aims to start the season with four consecutive wins, while Aberdeen struggle with a depleted squad. Celtic welcomes back captain Callum McGregor after a recent illness, but faces injuries to Kasper Høgh, Kieran Tierney, and Callum Osmand. The club also has Alistair Johnston, Jota, and Reo Hatate out. Oliver Sørensen, who joined from Parma, is available to make his debut. Camilo Durán is expected to lead the attack after returning from injury.\n\nAberdeen, on the other hand, faces a heavy squad absence, with Brad Lyons, Ante Palaversa, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Kristers Tobers, and Kusini Yengi injured or sidelined. However, they gain a defensive boost with Mats Knoester returning from a long absence. Kevin Nisbet is expected to be their main threat, aiming to add to his nine goals this season.",
