Celtic XI vs Aberdeen – Predicted lineup and team news

Celtic head to Pittodrie Stadium on Wednesday evening for a vital Scottish Premiership showdown with Aberdeen.

Martin O’Neill’s squad aims to narrow the deficit to the table toppers and sustain their bid for the summit.

Celtic hold third position on 55 points from 28 games, lagging eight points behind Hearts at the top—though tonight’s game in hand could cut that to five. They arrive off a gripping 2-2 stalemate at Rangers on Sunday, levelled through Reo Hatate’s stoppage-time strike.

Celtic team news

Martin O’Neill confirmed Kasper Schmeichel missed the trip due to medical reasons but may be ready for the Scottish Cup visit to Ibrox this weekend; Viljami Sinisalo steps in between the posts and could keep his place for the coming weeks.

He noted some small knocks after the Ibrox exertions without naming those affected, suggesting the rest of the group is available despite the demanding schedule.

Sinisalo starts in goal, and since Auston Trusty remains suspended, the defence lines up unchanged: Julian Araujo on the right, Dane Murray and Liam Scales together at centre-back, with Kieran Tierney at left-back.

Alistair Johnston, Arne Engels, Callum Osmand, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Adam Montgomery, and Jota stay sidelined.

There are no other injury concerns for this match. There might be a change in the midfield with Rao Hatate coming in place of Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain.
