Celtic play their first game of the post-Neil Lennon era when they host Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League on Saturday.The Hoops announced that Lennon had left his role as the head coach after their loss to Ross County last weekend. That 1-0 loss was the final nail in Lennon's coffin in what has been a traumatic season for Celtic so far.They are currently 18 points behind Rangers with eight games to play this season. With seven more points, Steven Gerrard's side will become Scottish champions and put an end to Celtic's nine-year hold on the title.💬 "The club has asked me to step in and take charge of the team which I’m more than happy to do. But ultimately it’s not about me, it’s about doing the right thing for both the team and the club."John Kennedy's exclusive interview with @CelticTV#CelticFC🍀 pic.twitter.com/rbcL1Y1PdI— Celtic Football Club (@CelticFC) February 25, 2021John Kennedy has taken over from Lennon on an interim basis, as the club look to find the right manager to succeed him on a full-time basis.Aberdeen hadn't won in six games before the weekend, but they managed a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock in what must have been a relief for Derek McInnes. Callum Hendry scored the only goal of that game in the 21st minute, as they held on for an important win. They are currently fourth in the league but are four points behind Hibernian despite playing a game more than them.⏩ Next up, it is a trip to Celtic Park on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/uWsqZdtjgp— Aberdeen FC (@AberdeenFC) February 24, 2021Celtic vs Aberdeen Head-to-HeadCeltic have won 49 of the last 61 games that they have played against Aberdeen, losing only seven of those.The last game between these two sides happened just last Wednesday.
