At the outset of Celtic's title defence, a familiar truth reasserted itself on the left flank of Glasgow: that certain players do not merely contribute to a team's ambitions but quietly constitute them.

Sesgo y Encuadre
BBC article uses laudatory language and player-focused framing to celebrate Celtic's opening victory, with minimal critical analysis of performance or opponent.
Hero narrative framing centered on individual player excellence (Tierney) rather than team performance or tactical analysis. The article emphasizes Celtic's status as 'reigning champions' and frames Dundee as merely 'dogged' opposition to overcome.
