Wednesday brings another night of mouthwatering Scottish Premiership action, with the top two set to go head-to-head as Celtic take on Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
Jimmy Thelin’s men suffered a 6-0 demolition at the hands of the Hoops when the sides met in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final last month, while October’s pulsating encounter at Celtic Park saw Aberdeen come back from 2-0 down to claim a point.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have been relentless in their mission to retain the Scottish Premiership title this season - they remain unbeaten in the league after 13 games having swatted aside Ross County with a 5-0 win in their last outing.
After an incredible start to their campaign, the Dons’ unbeaten league run was brought to an end with defeat to St Mirren a fortnight ago. Thelin’s side have continued to stutter since, dropping points in draws away to Hibs and Hearts.
Victory at Pittodrie would send the Hoops seven points clear at the top with a game in hand.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
