Celtic return to action this weekend as the fight to win consecutive Premiership titles resumes.
Ange Postecoglou's men enjoyed a stunning first part of the campaign with 14 wins and just one defeat from 15 outings. That has left them with breathing space at the top of the table as new Rangers boss Michael Beale plots a way to try and catch the champions. The Light Blues are first back in action on Thursday night against Hibs with the Hoops playing 48 hours later.
During the World Cup shutdown, Celtic have taken part in the Sydney Super Cup in Australia and also spent some time in Portugal on top of valuable rest and minutes on the training ground. Jim Goodwin and Aberdeen are the opposition and they themselves have had a decent season to date sitting third behind the Old Firm rivals. The Reds have European ambitions this term after watching Hearts take part in a group stage adventure and they will view this one as the chance to cause an upset and bag three big points. Here is all the information you need ahead of the showdown.
