Celtic vs Aberdeen – Predicted lineup and team news

Celtic take on Aberdeen in a midweek Scottish Premiership showdown on Wednesday at Celtic Park, aiming to kick off their campaign with four straight league victories.

Celtic come into this game in flawless domestic shape, occupying the summit of the Scottish Premiership after winning each of their first three league matches. Their latest outing saw them edge past Falkirk with a gritty 2-1 win. Morale is sky-high after earlier commanding 4-0 and 5-1 domestic successes, even though they hit a rough patch in European action. Importantly, the Hoops boast a spotless home record at Celtic Park this term, having yet to drop points on their own turf.

Celtic team news

Celtic receive a major lift before this midweek Scottish Premiership fixture as skipper Callum McGregor rejoins the group after shaking off a recent illness.

That said, the title-holders are coping with an expanding injury roll, especially among attackers and defenders. Striker Kasper Høgh and left-back Kieran Tierney are both completely out for this match after picking up abductor problems that kept them off the training pitch.

Callum Osmand also faces multiple weeks away because of an ankle knock. Long-term casualties Alistair Johnston, Jota, and Reo Hatate stay sidelined as they work through their rehabilitation programs.

On the positive side, fresh midfield signing Oliver Sørensen is fit to feature right away following his loan switch from Parma.

With other forward options missing, weekend matchwinner Camilo Durán is set to spearhead the attack again.
