Fixture: Aberdeen vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)
Celtic have announced their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with Aberdeen in a Scottish Premiership clash at Pittodrie this evening.
The Bhoys are looking to make sure they go through the domestic season unbeaten, a record Aberdeen will be keen to end tonight, while the two teams are also due to meet in the Scottish Cup final, meaning this evening can lay down a psychological marker.
Celtic will be without captain Scott Brown, who is suspended for the game. Striker Moussa Dembele remains out of action due to a hamstring injury.
Aberdeen, who are 27 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, will be sure of second place if they take a point. To make sure Celtic take all three, boss Brendan Rodgers goes with Craig Gordon between the sticks, while at the back Dedryck Boyata and Jozo Simunovic are the central pairing, with Mikael Lustig (captain) and Kieran Tierney as full-backs. Stuart Armstrong is in midfield, as in the in-form Callum McGregor, while Scott Sinclair and Leigh Griffiths pose a goal threat.
From the bench, Rodgers can turn to Nir Bitton if needed, while James Forrest offers pace.
Celtic Team vs Aberdeen
