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

Aberdeen preview: Finding their best form again?
After an impressive start of the season in which they've 10 of their 11 games, when they only failed to beat Celtic but managed to hold them to a draw, Aberdeen have fell over the cliff and failed to notch a single win in 14 games in a row. However, they enter this duel with two wins in a row, thanks to which they managed to get back into third place in the Premiership.
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.
Predicted lineup: Mitov (GK), Jensen, Tobers, Knoester, Mackenzie, Nilsen, Palaversa, Keskinen, Gueye, Okkels & Dabbagh

Player to watch: Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn
With 10 goals and six assists in the Premiership this season, the German winger has certainly been one of Celtic's key forces in attack and has the most goal contributions in the entire team at this time.
