With the Scottish Premiership title already wrapped up, champions Celtic travel to Pittodrie on Wednesday night to face an Aberdeen side still scrapping to finish as the best of the rest behind the Old Firm.
The Dons head into this one licking their wounds after a humbling 4-0 defeat at the hands of Rangers at Ibrox. That result continued a woeful run of form on the road for Aberdeen, who have now managed just two wins in their last 15 away league outings, losing nine of them.
Despite the opportunity to take advantage of a struggling Rangers side last weekend, Barry Robson’s men once again came up short, with just one win in their last 14 visits to Ibrox.
Celtic, meanwhile, arrive in the northeast fresh off a bounce-back win over Hibernian, ensuring they wouldn’t suffer back-to-back league defeats to the Edinburgh club for the first time in over 70 years.
The Hoops have been ruthless in front of goal this season, especially at home, having racked up 61 goals in just 18 league games at Celtic Park.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Aberdeen vs. Celtic lineups, team news
Aberdeen are expected to be without Gavin Molloy, Sivert Heltne Nilsen, and Vicente Besuijen for their upcoming clash, while Ester Sokler remains sidelined for the rest of the season.
Following a heavy 4-0 loss to Rangers in their previous outing, manager Jimmy Thelin may look to shake things up, with Pape Habib Gueye and Kevin Nisbet in line for potential returns to the starting XI. Nisbet, who was a surprise omission at Ibrox, is widely tipped to feature from the outset this time.
Aberdeen predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Mitov (GK) — Jensen, Tobers, Knoester, Shinnie — Polvara, Clarkson — Keskinen, Gueye, McGrath — Nisbet.
Injured: Sokler, Molloy, Nilsen, Besuijen.
Suspended: None.
On the Celtic side, defenders Alistair Johnston and Cameron Carter-Vickers are unavailable, while winger Jota is out for the remainder of the campaign due to a cruciate ligament injury.
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Viljami Sinisalo will get the nod in goal, even though Kasper Schmeichel is now fit and back in the squad after his first appearance since March. In front of him, Anthony Ralston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, and Greg Taylor are all expected to form the back line.
Celtic predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Sinisalo (GK) — Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Taylor — Engels, McGregor, Hatate — Kuhn, Idah, Maeda.
Injured: Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Jota.
Suspended: None.
