Celtic are expected to have an unchanged squad for the trip to Pittodrie tonight after hammering Motherwell at the weekend at Fir Park. The Hoops are top of the Cinch Premiership by just one point and every game is a must-win game.
While Pittodrie is a tough venue the Hoops are unbeaten in 11 away league trips to Aberdeen (W9 D2) since going down 2-1 in February 2016 under Ronny Delia.
Aberdeen have only won one of their last 22 league meetings with Celtic (D3 L18) and are winless in 13 such clashes (D3 L10) since a 1-0 win in May 2018.
Kyogo Furuhashi, David Turnbull and Albian Ajeti are all missing with hamstring injuries.
Scott Brown might be available for the visit of his former club after the midfielder sat out a defeat at Livingston on the weekend.
With both teams just released via their official media channels this is how the Celts line up tonight:

The big one in this lineup is Tom Rogic moving to the bench. The Wizard of Oz was in the red hot form against Motherwell and only the goal post stopped the midfielder from bagging himself a hat-trick. Fans won’t be too disappointed to see Matt O’Reilly starting again though.
Giakoumakis also moves the bench with Maeda moving into the middle and Jota replacing the Greek.
