Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
All eyes will be on Pittodrie Stadium when Aberdeen and Celtic face each other in a highly-anticipated Premiership game on Wednesday evening. The Dons failed to win the previous three league matches, meaning that they could be low on confidence in the midweek clash. First-choice goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov is expected to miss out with a leg injury, with Ross Doohan likely to start in goal. Senegal forward Pape Habib Gueye remains in the recovery room.
The Hoops, on the other hand, aim to build on a 5-0 win over Ross County. Celtic aim to get their job done in the national championship as soon as possible and seeing that Aberdeen suffered a dip in form, away win should be considered. When the two teams met in the League Cup last month Celtic rolled over Aberdeen 6-0, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the league leaders. Brendan Rodgers should have a full squad to choose from, except for Odin Thiago Holm.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
