Celtic vs Aberdeen – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Celtic hosts Aberdeen at Celtic Park for their upcoming Scottish Premiership encounter this Sunday.

The Hoops aim to build some encouraging momentum under their fresh manager, Wilfried Nancy.

Celtic occupies second position in the Scottish Premiership standings with 32 points after 16 matches, yet they lag nine points behind table-toppers Hearts.

The ex-Columbus Crew head coach has endured four straight defeats since assuming control late November, comprising a frustrating 2-1 home reversal against Hearts, a 3-0 Europa League thrashing by Roma, a stunning 3-1 Scottish League Cup final setback to St Mirren, and their latest 1-2 road loss to Dundee United.

Celtic team news

Nancy’s initial stint at Celtic helm has proven challenging, as the French tactician hunts for his maiden victory. The club’s persistent injury woes keep disrupting his plan, highlighted by Kelechi Iheanacho’s fresh hamstring setback in the League Cup final.

Alistair Johnston and Callum Osmand each required hamstring operations and face lengthy absences, joined by Marcelo Saracchi’s similar muscle trouble.

Cameron Carter-Vickers stays out with an Achilles injury, alongside Jota. Even amid the growing casualty roster, Nancy stands firm on his methods.

Additionally, Sebastian Tounekti and Michel-Ange Balikwisha remain absent, committed to international commitments at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Celtic predicted lineup

Possible Celtic starting XI: Schmeichel; Ralston, Trusty, Scales; Nygren, McGregor, Engels, Tierney; Forrest, Kenny, Maeda
