Aberdeen face a trip to Glasgow 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 77 and win only 24 of the 127 games.
However, the two most recent encounters between these two sides at Celtic Park were both won by Aberdeen, with Aberdeen inflicting a narrow 2 - 3 defeat upon the The Bhoys in the other Scottish Premier match this season.
