Celtic will travel to Pittodrie on Wednesday evening to face Aberdeen in their next Scottish Premiership match, an important game for both teams.
Martin O’Neill’s side aims to maintain their momentum at the top of the table, while Aberdeen, currently under interim management, seeks to stabilize their season in front of their home fans.
O’Neill’s return has been effective, with Celtic unbeaten in seven matches following their 2-0 win against Falkirk on Sunday.
This victory moved Celtic into second place, tied on points with Rangers, but they are still six points behind leaders Hearts, having played one less game.
Before the win against Falkirk, Celtic had drawn against Hearts and Bologna in the Europa League, but they have now scored six goals in their last two matches, showing an improvement in their attacking play at a crucial time in the season.
Celtic team news
Celtic has made loan signings, bringing in striker Junior Adamu from Freiburg, defender Benjamin Arthur from Brentford, and winger Joel Mvuka from Lorient to strengthen the squad for the upcoming matches.
However, injuries continue to be a concern for the manager. Defender Alistair Johnston, centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers, full-back Marcelo Saracchi, and playmaker Jota are still unavailable, with Jota recovering from a serious knee injury and Callum Osmand sidelined due to a hamstring problem.
Despite these injuries, Celtic turned down a significant offer from Nottingham Forest for Arne Engels, worth up to £25 million, which O’Neill called “really tempting.” He expressed satisfaction that the club chose to keep the Belgian midfielder crucial to their title ambitions.
Celtic predicted lineup
Possible Celtic starting XI: Schmeichel; Araujo, Murray, Scales, Tierney; Hyun-Jun, Engels, McGregor, Maeda; Cvancara, Nygren
When will the match kick off?
The match is set to begin at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 4th February.
