Celtic and Aberdeen are set to clash in a top-of-the-table Scottish Premiership match on Saturday, with both teams tied on 21 points after seven fixtures. Celtic leads on goal difference, and the match will be played at Celtic Park.
Celtic, under manager Brendan Rodgers, has had a strong start to the 2024-25 season, securing 11 wins from 12 games despite suffering a heavy 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Rodgers faced criticism after that loss but quickly rebounded with a 2-1 victory over Ross County. Celtic boasts an unbeaten record against Aberdeen in their last 25 meetings.
Aberdeen, managed by Jimmy Thelin, has also enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, winning all 13 matches across all competitions. This marks a significant improvement compared to last season when the team finished ninth. However, Thelin faces his biggest test yet with upcoming matches against Celtic and Rangers.
Team news for Celtic includes the absence of key players like Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor due to injury, while Aberdeen will be without Pape Habib Gueye, who is out with a muscle injury.
Both teams are in excellent form, and this match promises to be a thrilling contest between two of Scotland’s top sides.
