Fan reaction to Celtic team v Aberdeen
The decision to start Patryk Klimala for the first time since December has gone down a treat with supporters looking for fresh ideas in the Celtic eleven.
With youngsters such as Ewan Henderson and Adam Montgomery also on the bench, there could also be substitute opportunities for our Lennoxtown youngsters.
Elsewhere there aren’t many surprises, but everyone is looking forward to seeing the team in action as a new Celtic era dawns.
