What channel is Celtic v Aberdeen on? How to watch Premiership trophy presentation on TV

Celtic will celebrate their second successive Scottish Premiership title win on Saturday when they are presented with the league trophy following their final fixture at home to Aberdeen.

Ange Postecoglou’s side wrapped up the championship with four games to spare after a 2-0 victory at Hearts on May 7 to secure their 11th title in 12 seasons – the only aberration coming in the covid-afflicted 2020-21 season when Steven Gerrard’s Rangers claimed the honour.

Aberdeen will also arrive in celebratory mood having secured a third place finish and the guarantee of European group stage football next season – providing Celtic defeat Inverness in the Scottish Cup final next weekend – following the 3-0 midweek win over St Mirren.

The Dons will look to play the role of Parkhead party poopers but Celtic will be keen to sign off with a victory ahead of their Hampden showdown with Inverness after a run of three matches without a win since being declared champions, losing at both Rangers and Hibs either side of a home draw with St Mirren.

In a quirk of the post-split fixtures, Aberdeen will visit Celtic Park for a third time this season having lost 4-0 on their most recent trip in February after also going down 2-0 on the opening day of the Premiership season back in July. The Hoops also emerged with a 1-0 victory from the only Pittodrie meeting of the campaign in December meaning the Dons have yet to score against the champions this season.
