Aberdeen vs Celtic: Injury list, suspensions & predicted XIs

Aberdeen host Celtic at Pittodrie Stadium on Wednesday, Feb. 4, for the Scottish Premiership’s matchday 25.

The home side sits seventh in the league standings with 28 points after 24 matches, recording eight wins, four draws, and 12 defeats.

Meanwhile, the Hoops are second with 48 points, six behind leaders Hearts. Martin O’Neill’s side has a record of 15 wins, three draws, and six defeats.

Following a somewhat disappointing January transfer window for Celtic (they secured only loans), fans will be watching for these new players.

The Bhoys beat Falkirk 2-0 in their most recent Premiership fixture, while they routed Utrecht 4-2 on the final matchday of the UEFA Europa League’s league phase.

Below, we share the absence list for both teams for this match, along with our predicted lineups.
