The official team news is in from Pittodrie as Celtic prepare to face Aberdeen in their penultimate Scottish Premiership clash of the 2024/25 season. With just two games remaining, the Hoops are aiming to maintain their momentum and end the campaign on a high.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has named a strong starting XI, showing his intent to secure all three points against a Dons side eager to make a statement at home. The Parkhead club, already crowned champions, are using this fixture to fine-tune their tactics ahead of the Scottish Cup Final while keeping their unbeaten post-split form intact.
Here’s how Celtic line up for the clash against Aberdeen:
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
Defenders: Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales, Greg Taylor
Midfielders: Callum McGregor (captain), Matt O’Riley, Reo Hatate
Forwards: Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi, Jota
The bench sees the return of a few key players from injury, including Liel Abada and James Forrest, who may be called upon for impact late in the game. Youngsters Rocco Vata and Daniel Kelly also feature among the substitutes, highlighting the club’s focus on development.
Aberdeen, meanwhile, have made several changes as they look to disrupt Celtic’s rhythm. With Pittodrie traditionally a challenging venue, the Hoops will need to stay sharp defensively and clinical in attack.
This fixture has historically produced thrilling encounters, and with both teams having something to prove—Aberdeen seeking a top-six finish and Celtic looking to maintain dominance—the atmosphere is expected to be electric.
Fans can follow the action live on Celtic TV, with kickoff scheduled for 3 PM. Stay tuned for live updates and post-match analysis right after full-time.
