Celtic v Aberdeen – Predicted Team, Where to Watch and Match Officials | OneFootball

Amid a flurry of transfer activity today as the Europa League signing deadline on Wednesday night looms, Celtic will be at Lennoxtown today focusing on the Scottish Premiership match on Wednesday night against Aberdeen at Celtic Park…

There will be a few players in the treatment room today after picking up knocks over the previous two games.

Kasper Hogh is the obvious one who will be at the centre of attention but with Camilo Duran doing so well through the middle in the 2-1 win over Falkirk, Martin O’Neill will be relatively relaxed about going with the Hassan, Duran and Yang front three against an Aberdeen side who were unfortunate to lose 1-0 to the Rangers yesterday afternoon at Pittodrie.

It looks like young Callum Osmand will be sidelined for a while after going over on his ankle late in the game on Saturday. Kieran Tierney may also require some time on the treatment table but hopefully is fine to start in midweek, as he’s still the only left-back in the current Celtic squad. However Liam Scales may have to step in.

The Celtic captain Callum McGregor should be fine for Wednesday night after enduring a sickness bug at the end of last week.

Reo Hatate reportedly had a knock at the weekend but it would be nice if he makes the bench and come on so that the support can say our farewells to a very decent player who has made an impact at Celtic over the past four and a half seasons.
