Aberdeen face a trip to Glasgow Celtic at Celtic Park on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 77 and win only 23 of the 126 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Aberdeen inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The Bhoys in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
The match against Celtic is likely to be a very close encounter, but one that the Madmen sees going the way of the home team. Home win
Stand-Free's prediction ...
The game is likely to be much closer than in recent years, although the victory at the end of last season counts for little. With my positive hat on, I'm going to go for a score draw.
