Unbeaten Celtic could move seven points clear of second-placed Aberdeen tonight as they head to Pittodrie for a vital clash in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.
Set to kick-off at 8pm, both sides have been neck and neck for the bulk of the campaign, but after Aberdeen’s defeat at St Mirren was followed by draws at Hibs and Hearts, Brendan Rodgers’ side moved four points clear of the Dons after a comfortable 5-0 victory over Ross County at Celtic Park.
While the visiting champions are expected to have almost a full squad to choose from, Jimmy Thelin’s side have a host of injury concerns ahead of the game, with two key players already confirmed as out for the game at Pittodrie.
Set to be one of the biggest fixtures in the Scottish season, The Scotsman has all the latest injury news for both sides ahead of the match:
