Aberdeen face a trip to Celtic at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 85 and win only 25 of the 136 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2008, the Bhoys carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
