Celtic will return to Scottish Premiership action this weekend by welcoming second placed Aberdeen to the east end of Glasgow.
Tied at the top of the table, neither side have dropped a single point between them, with hosts Celtic narrowly ahead of the visiting Dons only on goal difference.
Something must give this week though, and both sides enter the game on the back of narrow wins, following victories over Ross County and Hearts respectively prior to the international break.
With Celtic facing their nearest challengers so far this season, this is how The Scotsman predict how Brendan Rodgers will line-up his side to face Aberdeen on Saturday:
5. LB: Alex Valle
Performed well at Ross County while deputising for Greg Taylor. WIll keep his place for the visit of Jimmy Thelin's Aberdeen. | SNS Group

7. CM: Reo Hatate
Returned to the starting XI against Ross County and will continue in midfield against Aberdeen, with the Japanese ace in good form. | SNS Group
8. CM: Paulo Bernardo
Has stepped up his performances since the £11million signing of Arne Engels, and we're tipping him to replace him in the starting XI for this weekend's big game. | SNS Group
