Prediction: 3-0
Aberdeen
Celtic will be looking to cement top position when they host Aberdeen to their Celtic Park on Matchday 26. The Hoops outplayed St Johnstone 4-1 in their last league match, with the team eliminating St. Mirren (5-1) in the Scottish Cup at the weekend. The league leaders have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Aberdeen. Key attacker Kyogo Furuhashi is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend, but Ange Postecoglou has no other selection worries ahead of Saturday’s clash.
The Dons, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a loss to St. Mirren, with the team beating Motherwell 3-1 in front of home fans, but given their dreadful losing run on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Midfielder Ross McCrorie is back from suspension for the visiting side.
