What channel is Aberdeen v Celtic? TV and live stream details plus team news, referee, VAR

Aberdeen host Celtic as the top two in the William Hill Premiership go head-to-head under the Pittodrie floodlights on Wednesday.

Brendan Rodgers’ league leaders travel to the north-east with a four point advantage at the top of the table and a game in hand over the second placed Dons, while also holding an enormous 11 point gap over Old Firm rivals Rangers in third.

Aberdeen will be relishing the chance to return to home soil - where they have won every match under Jimmy Thelin - after a three-match winless away run where a first league defeat of the season at St Mirren was followed by consecutive draws against Hibs and Hearts.

Celtic, meanwhile, show no signs of slowing down as they netted five first half goals in demolishing Ross County last weekend to take their season’s tally to 40 in 13 league matches despite making six changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Club Brugge in the Champions League in midweek.

It promises to be a defining night in the title race and here is everything you need to know ahead of the match...
