Fixture: Celtic vs Aberdeen
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)
Celtic have officially confirmed their side to play host to Aberdeen in a Scottish Premiership fixture this afternoon.
The Bhoys go into the match on a high after securing a spot in the Champions League group stage in midweek and then on Thursday discovering their opponents – Barcelona, Borussia Monchengladbach and Manchester City.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has opted to drop goalkeeper Craig Gordon, putting new signing Dorus de Vries between the sticks. At the back, Kolo Toure pairs up with Erik Sviatchenko in the heart of defence, while Scott Brown and Nir Bitton look to protect the back four. James Forrest and Tom Rogic start.
Scott Sinclair and Leigh Griffiths will carry the goal threat, but Rodgers can call for Moussa Dembele and Ryan Christie off the bench if needed. Patrick Roberts is also amongst the substitutes.
