Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has opted for consistency in his central defense pairing, retaining Liam Scales and Auston Trusty, while Stephen Welsh takes Maik Nawrocki’s spot on the bench, despite the defender returning to training earlier in the week. Kyogo Furuhashi, who had limited international travel, replaces Adam Idah in the lineup, marking the only change from the squad that secured a 2-1 victory over Ross County earlier this month.
Both Reo Hatate and Arne Engels maintain their starting positions despite their recent international commitments. Meanwhile, captain Callum McGregor remains well-rested after stepping away from international football over the summer.
In terms of officiating, Nick Walsh will be the referee for the match, with Greg Aitken handling VAR responsibilities. Aberdeen, like Celtic, enters the game with a perfect record after seven matches. However, today’s clash won’t be available for live viewing on TV in the UK and Ireland. Additionally, Celtic has recently announced a significant pay increase for Chairman Peter Lawwell, highlighting the club’s off-field developments alongside their competitive ambitions on the pitch.
