Aberdeen v Celtic on TV: Is the match being broadcast in the UK? How to watch Scottish Premiership clash

Celtic could smash through the 90 points barrier when they travel to Aberdeen in the their final away game of the Scottish Premiership season at Pittodrie on Wednesday.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have already secured a fourth successive Scottish Premiership title, but Wednesday’s game at Aberdeen will serve as a test run for both sides ahead of their meeting in the Scottish Cup final later this month.

Jimmy Thelin’s Aberdeen still hope of a third-placed finish, however, with the Dons just three points behind Hibs as they approach the final two games of the campaign.

Supporters who are looking to watch the game on TV in the UK and abroad will be able to do so, with several ways that you can keep up with the game from the first whistle to the last:

What is the 3pm Blackout Rule in the UK?

While the 3pm Saturday kick-offs are the slot in which a bulk of Scottish Premiership games are played during weekend football matches - with multiple games happening at the same time - they are never broadcast live on television due to the 'football blackout'.

This rule means that football that no Scottish Premiership game can be broadcast on live television on Saturday between 2:45pm and 5:15pm. Games may be played on that day and on that time, but are forbidden to be televised in the UK – with Saturday televised kick-offs mostly occurring at 12:30pm or 5:30pm.
