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 80 and win only 24 of the 130 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, with Celtic running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
