The game is due to be played on Saturday, April 20, with a scheduled kick off time of 12:30pm GMT. The last time the two teams met, back in February, Celtic were frustrated by the Dons - they could only muster a 1-1 draw when all was said and done.

Bojan Miovski opened the scoring for Aberdeen, only for Celtic’s Nicolas Kuhn to level the scores in the 63rd minute. Neither team could break the deadlock after this and the points were shared.

Previously, Aberdeen have not beaten Celtic since 2018 in a 1-0 win at Celtic Park. In the years since, the Bhoys have beaten Aberdeen on no less than 20 occasions - meaning the deck is firmly stacked in their favour.
