What time and TV channel is Aberdeen vs Celtic on today?

Celtic travel to Pittodrie today to play Aberdeen in an attempt to maintain their lead at the top of the Premiership table.

With a fantastic win over Rangers and a convincing dismantlement of Motherwell on Sunday, Ange Postecoglou's side will surely be full of confidence for this one.

Pittodrie is no easy place to go but it will seem a bit less intimidating as Aberdeen come in to this one after falling to an embarrassing defeat to Livingston at the weekend.

Aberdeen manager Stephen Glass admits the pressure on his team.

“When the fans see a team that was pretty poor first-half they make their feelings known - that’s normal at a big club," he said.

“Expectations are big, players have reputations on the line and mine is as well.

“I’m under pressure every day of my life at this club."

Here's everything you need to know about the game:

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou: “If you look at the last two games, it’s not the five subs who made the difference, because we scored three goals in the first half. .

“The subs for me help us in terms of managing the load on our players because we have got three games a week right up to the international break, and it will probably be the same afterwards.

“That’s a lot of football and if we want to maintain levels, intensity and tempo, we are going to have to manage our players through that process.

“Sometimes that’s going to mean making five subs, other times it might just mean we rotate players between games.

“You have got to have the squad to do that and we are getting to that space now where we have a core group of players beyond the 11 who are starting.

“In terms of managing the players’ loads, which protects the players, I think the five-sub rule will definitely help.”
