CELTIC face Aberdeen on Saturday and manager Neil Lennon will surely be hoping for a repeat performance from the last time the two sides met, a comfortable 4-0 win for the champions at Pittodrie in October.

With the Dons and Motherwell battling it out for third place, and the small matter of the title race between Celtic and Rangers, it's fair to say that both clubs will be desperate to avoid losing any ground on their league rivals.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Where is the game being played?

The match will take place at Celtic Park.

What time is kick-off?

Is it on TV?

Yes, Celtic TV and Red TV will be showing the match live to subscribers outside of the UK.

What are the pre-match odds?

The hosts are the favourites to pick up all three points and can be backed at around 2/9. If you fancy Derek McInnes' side to pull off an upset, though, most bookies are offering odds of around 12/1 for an away win.

What's the latest team news?

Boli Bolingoli and Hatem Abd Elhamed remain sidelined through injury, although Jonny Hayes returned to first-team action at Tynecastle on Wednesday night. Either Hayes or Greg Taylor will slot in a left-back, while Jeremie Frimpong or Moritz Bauer will start on the opposite flank. Mohamed Elyounoussi, who was not fit for the 2-0 win over Hearts, is not expected to feature as his recovery continues.

McInnes, meanwhile, has Funso Ojo back in his first-team plans after the midfielder started the Dons' game against Hamilton last weekend. Craig Bryson is still recovering from an ankle injury, but McInnes is hopeful that full-back Greg Leigh will be fit in time for the visit to Glasgow's east end.
