Aberdeen and Celtic lock horns in Wednesday night’s Pittodrie blockbuster as the Dons attempt to reignite their early title hopes.
After an astonishing start to the campaign, Jimmy Thelin’s side have stuttered in their last three outings, losing to St Mirren and drawing away at Hibs and Hearts. That’s seen them lose ground on Brendan Rodgers’ relentless Hoops, who can gain more breathing space on their rivals by getting the job done in the Granite City to move seven points clear at the top, having played a game less.
To do that, they’ll need to condemn the Reds to their first home defeat since FEBRUARY, with the hosts on a remarkable 17-game unbeaten run at Pittodrie. A crushing loss would come as a double blow for Aberdeen as Rangers – who are in action against Kilmarnock – desperately try to claw back the seven-point deficit on second spot. It promises to be a box-office night of Premiership action and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know.

Team news
Aberdeen are sweating on the fitness of first-choice goalkeeper Dimitir Mitov. The Bulgarian international was subbed off at half-time in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Hearts at Tynecastle with a suspected hamstring injury. He was replaced by deputy, Ross Doohan who could now face his former club after coming through the ranks at Parkhead. Pape Habib Gueye remains out of action having been sidelined since September with a quad injury.
As for Celtic, well it seems like Brendan Rodgers has a clean bill of health after his heavily rotated squad came through Saturday’s thumping 5-0 win over Ross County unscathed.
