In the Scottish Premiership, both teams are level on points after ten matches, including a recent 2-2 draw between the Bhoys and Dons last

Confidence is soaring among the league leaders, with Auston Trusty emphasizing that the Hoops will remain vigilant against Aberdeen to prevent a repeat of their previous encounter, where they let a two-goal lead slip in October.
Brendan Rodgers, keen to maintain his impressive cup record, has provided a squad update that addresses some concerns.
**Brendan Rodgers offers squad update ahead of semi-final.
In his press conference leading up to the match, Rodgers confirmed that Odin Thiago Holm is the only confirmed absentee for tomorrow’s clash, indicating that Adam Idah is fit to play after his injury scare against Motherwell.
He stated, “We are in a really good place. Everyone is fit and healthy. We’ve only got Odin out, who has been sidelined for a while with calf issues. Other than that, I’m really happy that we’ve managed to get through this period in such a healthy state. So, everyone is fine fitness-wise.”
Rodgers also acknowledged the challenge that Aberdeen will present, saying, “It’s a semi-final, and everyone entering one wants to reach the final. We’re really looking forward to it. As a squad and a team, we are in a great position, and we understand the challenge a semi-final brings.”
**Celtic won’t underestimate Aberdeen’s threat at Hampden.
Despite being favorites going into the match, Celtic recognizes the quality Aberdeen can bring and is determined to avoid any complacency.
The return of Idah, along with Nicolas Kuhn and Callum McGregor, who all missed the recent match against Dundee, could be crucial for the Hoops.
Now, the goal for Rodgers and his squad is to assemble a lineup capable of securing a spot in the final against either Rangers or Motherwell. Here’s hoping the Irishman can lead them to a memorable day at the national stadium!
