Celtic preview: Looking to avoid another slip-up

After the rough elimination from the Champions League due to a late goal by Bayern Munich, Celtic haven't managed to put this behind them and followed it up with a surprising loss to Hibernian in the Premiership. Despite this, they have kept the 13-point advantage over Rangers who also lost in the last round, so Celtic are still cruising towards another title and a win over Aberdeen would only confirm this.

Meanwhile, James Forrest and Paulo Bernardo are currently out with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Schmeichel (GK), Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Schlupp, Hatate, McGregor, Engels, Kuhn, Maeda & Jota

When it comes to team news, Dante Polvara, Jamie McGrath, Gavin Molloy, Jack Milne, Ester Sokler, and Vicente Besuijen all remain out with injuries at the moment.
