Aberdeen will take on Celtic on Wednesday, 4 March, as the visitors look to keep their title hopes alive.
Following their draw with Rangers at the weekend, Celtic need a win here to leapfrog their Old Firm rivals into second place and to move within five points of Hearts at the top of the table.
For Aberdeen, it's a case of simply trying to guarantee their Scottish Premiership status from here until the end of the season.

Celtic preview: The Ox to return to the bench
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will almost certainly drop to the bench on Wednesday after a terrible first-half performance at Ibrox on Sunday. Reo Hatate has done enough to replace the Ox in midfield, but Martin O'Neill won't be able to call upon the services of Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota, Arne Engels, Callum Osmand and Alistair Johnston.
Predicted lineup: Sinisalo (GK), Araujo, Scales, Trusty, Tierney, McGregor, Hatate, Nygren, Maeda, Cvancara, Tounekti

Player to watch: Reo Hatate
Celtic fans have been frustrated with Reo Hatate for much of this season, mainly because they know that his performances have been well below what he is capable of. Could his crucial substitute cameo in the Old Firm derby last weekend turn out to be the trigger for a scintillating end to the season?
