Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Ross County when they take on Aberdeen on Matchday 8. The Hoops want to keep their 100% record intact as longer as possible, but the high-flying Dons should not be underestimated. Japan forward Kyogo Furuhashi is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Greg Taylor and Cameron Carter-Vickers are sidelined with injuries.
Aberdeen have won each of their first seven league games as well, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Glasgow. Given their attacking potential, a high-scoring affair is on the horizon at Celtic Park and we are tempted to place our bets on over 2.5 goals. Forward Pape Habib Gueye remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting at the venue Celtic crushed Aberdeen 6-0.
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.
