Brendan Rodgers has announced the Celtic team to face Aberdeen in tonight’s Scottish Premiership clash at Parkhead.
The Celtic manager has made three changes from the team that lost to Hibs as he looks to get back to winning ways against Jimmy Thelin’s Aberdeen.
The defeat to Hibs means that Celtic can still protect their unbeaten home run against The Dons who have won their last three games against Dunfermline, Dundee and Kilmarnock
So with that in mind, here is the Celtic starting XI that Brendan Rodgers believes will take care of the Pittodrie club at Parkhead.
