It’s that time of the week again where our writers at 67 Hail Hail have put their necks on the line to predict how Celtic will fare against Aberdeen.

You can also predict how things will go by joining the conversation on TalkingPoints and telling us what you think the score will be.

Celtic beat Falkirk last weekend and will want to keep the pressure on the managerless Dons, who were as busy as the Hoops were on transfer deadline day.

Martin O’Neill’s side cannot afford any slip ups but judging by our predictions, there seems to be no fear of that happening as the Bhoys look to continue their impressive away record at Aberdeen.

67 Hail Hail writers predict Aberdeen vs Celtic

Paddy Sinat

“Aberdeen is never an easy place to travel to. However, it’s been almost 10 years since Celtic lost at Pittodrie and the team will be boosted after the transfer deadline day additions.”

Paddy’s prediction: Aberdeen 0-3 Celtic

Callum Boyle

“I am incredibly confident. O’Neill will be happy with the players he has brought in, especially from an attacking sense. Under his watch, the Hoops have been brilliant defensively in the league and now have extra firepower going forward.

“New signings instil fresh hope and I think Celtic will brush Aberdeen aside.”

Callum’s prediction: Aberdeen 0-2 Celtic

Amir Mir

“Celtic have to take advantage of Aberdeen’s current situation. The Hoops have a strong record at Pittodrie, and I expect that to continue. Tomas Cvancara will grab another goal with Hyunjun Yang and Daizen Maeda also on the scoresheet.”

Amir’s prediction: Aberdeen 0-3 Celtic

Martin Crawford

“This should be one of our easier away games on paper given Aberdeen’s form, but you never truly expect an easy game going to Pittodrie. It’s never straightforward when you concede multiple big chances in every away game, as we have done this season.

“Hoping for a similar game to Falkirk away, where we can take the lead and then defend our box well. After his brilliant header at the weekend I’ll back Cvancara to score the only goal.”

Martin’s prediction: Aberdeen 0-1 Celtic
