Aberdeen and Celtic were originally scheduled to meet in the Granite City four weeks ago, but that match was postponed following a pitch inspection.
The Scottish Premiership rivals finally get the green light to play on Wednesday, and you can follow the match from 20:00 GMT. It's Celtic's third of four away games on the bounce, and first since Sunday's Old Firm Derby draw.
Champions Celtic are desperately clinging on to hopes of defending the title they won under former manager Brendan Rodgers last season.
It was plain sailing, but the Bhoys have endured rough waters during the 2025/26 term, both on and off the field. Martin O'Neill is their third manager of the campaign, and it's the Irishman's third time at the helm.
Knowing their opponents are fighting for their season, Aberdeen plan to make home advantage count and bank a much-needed three points. The locals have also suffered with managerial issues this year, having sacked cup-winning boss Jimmy Thelin.
How will this one end? Flashscore's Frank Monkhouse has three picks to consider.
Aberdeen v Celtic tips
Celtic to score in the first half @ 1/2 (bet365)
Nygren to score @ 1/1 (bet365)

Match winner - Celtic
Despite having over 100 pre-match betting markets available on Aberdeen vs Celtic, we keep things simple for our first pick. Back Celtic to win in Aberdeen, taking the points back to Glasgow and breathing new life into their season. When following this pick, the winning margin, final score and the goalscorers don't matter. If Celtic beat Aberdeen, you win.
Analysing the updated head-to-head stats available free on the Flashscore app gives us good reason to be confident ahead of kick-off. These teams have met twice already this season on Premiership business, with The Hoops winning by two goals in each match. That run includes a 2-0 away win at this venue in August, and a 3-1 in Glasgow late last year.
Sticking with the H2H, we go back further. Celtic collected maximum points in their previous five Premiership meetings with Aberdeen over two seasons. Included in that run are a couple of 5-1 victories, one at Pittodrie ten months ago. Celtic have been far from convincing this season, but that trend is just too strong to ignore. Take Celtic to win again.
Tip: Celtic win @ 21/50 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Celtic win, so does your bet.
Celtic to score in 1st half - yes
Moving past the match-winner market, we highlight the odds on Celtic scoring early. You'll find this wager available on the bet365 app now. Simply visit the Aberdeen vs Celtic game, select the 'half betting' at the top of the page, the 'to score in half' market, and click the odds attached to Celtic. You are no longer concerned with who wins the points.
You need Celtic to score at least one goal during the opening 45 minutes. A 1-0 away win is every bit as useful as the hosts leading 3-1 at the interval. As long as the visitors get off to a good start, you'll celebrate a profit. Followers will be delighted to learn this bet landed in each of the two clashes this season, including in Celtic's 2-0 win at this stadium.
There's more to get excited about when studying past meetings. Did you know that Celtic found the back of the net at least once in the last five renewals of this fixture: three in Glasgow and two in the North East of Scotland. That run covers more than a year. But let's keep digging. The same bet banked a profit in eight of ten games across all competitions.
Tip: Celtic to score in the 1st half @ 1/2 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You'll make a profit regardless of the final score, as long as the defending champions find the net in the opening 45 minutes.
Anytime scorer - Nygren
We open the anytime scorer betting market for our third and final play worth your attention. We're putting the weight of our support behind a player's performance, rather than a team. Benjamin Nygren has been one of the few positives from an otherwise difficult season. The gifted Swede is a 24-year-old attacker who looks destined for bigger and better things. He certainly stands out in Scotland.
Celtic's number eight has had no problems finding the net this season, including a goal in each of the two times he's faced Aberdeen. Nygren fired his employers into the lead at Pittodrie, before Reo Hatate made it 2-0 to kill the contest. Our selection then made it 1-0 on 39 minutes when the Dons lost 3-1 in the east end of Glasgow. But there's more for lovers of the stats.
In addition to his goals against Wednesday's opponents, Nygren has scored at Feyenoord in the Europa League, Livingston, Falkirk, Hearts and more. On international duty, Benjamin delighted fans with another in a World Cup 2026 qualifier in Switzerland. He's been reliable all season, but arrives in top form, scoring four goals in January and four more in February.
Tip: Nygren to score @ 1/1 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Benjamin Nygren must add to the two goals already scored past Aberdeen this season.
