Aberdeen will host Celtic at the Pittodrie Stadium on Wednesday in the penultimate round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side have had disappointing results in consecutive outings and now run the risk of missing out on continental football late in the season.
They were thrashed 4-0 by Rangers in their last match, conceding all four goals in the second half. The Dons, who remain fourth in the table, are only three points above fifth-placed Dundee United but could confirm their place in Europe with a win this week while a point could also suffice.
Celtic have nothing left to play for in the league after confirming a fourth consecutive Premiership title last month. They picked up a 3-1 comeback victory over Hibernian last time out featuring goals from three different players including Reo Hatate, who registered his 10th league strike of the campaign.
With the Scottish Cup final approaching, Brendan Rodgers' men will be keen to use the midweek league clash to size up their opponents who still have all to play for in the Premiership.
