CELTIC face Aberdeen for the third time this season in another crucial confrontation at Pittodrie this evening.
The champions dropped their only points of the season in a 2-2 draw against the Dons at Parkhead in October, but turned on the afterburners when they met again in the Premier Sports League Cup semi-final at Hampden a fortnight later in a landslide six-goal romp.
Tonight, Brendan Rodgers’ men have the opportunity to push their advantage at the Premiership pinnacle to seven points with a game in hand over Jimmy Thelin’s side.
