Match Preview:

Aberdeen are in 8^th place and with five games remaining until the league splits in two they have no chance of joining the Championship section. So a relegation fight is on their hands. Home form is ok with four wins from thirteen games. Recent all competitions form is poor with one win and four losses from last six games.

Celtic are 3^rd in the league and are eight points behind Hearts. Away form for them is seven wins from fourteen games. Recent all competitions form is three wins, one draw and two defeats.

Betting Preview:

Aberdeen will be fired up no doubt, but they are miles behind Celtic in all areas. They seem to have a disciplinary issue also with four red cards in the last seven matches. High cards is a bet but Celtic to win is the main pick.
