Celtic Host Injury-Hit Aberdeen as McGregor Returns

The match will show whether Celtic’s squad depth can cover a growing injury list after a costly European exit.

Overview

Celtic, who host Aberdeen on Wednesday, sit top of the Scottish Premiership after winning their first three league matches.
Captain Callum McGregor has returned to the squad after a sickness bug but Celtic remain without Kasper Høgh, Kieran Tierney and Callum Osmand for the coming weeks.
New loan signing Oliver Sørensen is available to play immediately and Camilo Durán is expected to lead the attack with other forward options limited.
Aberdeen travel with multiple midfield absences including Brad Lyons, Ante Palaversa and Emmanuel Gyamfi while Mats Knoester is back in contention and Kevin Nisbet remains their main scoring threat.
The fixture will test Celtic’s ability to rotate players as they balance domestic form with European recovery and it will put pressure on Aberdeen to break a 13-match away league winless run.
