Celtic will look to close the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership as they make the long journey to face Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership at Pittodrie on Wednesday night (kick-off: 8pm).
Martin O’Neill’s men leapfrogged Rangers into second place with their 2-0 win over Falkirk on Sunday thanks to goals from Tomas Cvancara and Benjamin Nygren, and can close to gap to just three points to Hearts after the league leaders’ 1-0 defeat to St Mirren on Tuesday night.
Their hosts, Aberdeen, will be desperate for a response to their 3-0 humbling at Kilmarnock at the weekend, and have a number of new faces to call upon after a productive transfer deadline day for the Dons. Currently in seventh place, interim manager Peter Leven will be desperate for a home win after falling five points behind Falkirk in the race for a top six finish.
