Celtic head to Pittodrie on Saturday to play Aberdeen, knowing that a point will be enough to win the title for the eighth season in a row.

However, the legions of Celtic fans who descend on Aberdeen will want to see the title won in style, with an emphatic victory.

The Hoops have struggled to score goals in recent weeks, that could change if Neil Lennon decides to tweak his formation.

The Hoops interim manger should consider player a 3-5-2 formation at Pittodrie. That would allow the Hoops to keep solid at the back, whilst playing an attacking style that could guarantee goals.

Mikael Lustig could move into defence, to play alongside Jozo Simunovic and Kristoffer Ajer. In the middle of the park, the game could be made for Tom Rogic. He has a superb record against Aberdeen.

More than capable of doing job

The game that clinches the league title should be a celebratory affair. It shouldn’t be a scramble for a point. Unfortunately, most of the performances under Lennon so far haven’t been convincing.

That could all change with the tweak that will make the Hoops a much more attacking side. More forward-thinking players on the pitch could lead to the goals that will ensure that the Hoops are celebrating in Aberdeen.
