Celtic head to Pittodrie to face an Aberdeen side absolutely bereft of confidence and having virtually nothing to play for tonight.
The Bhoys will be full of confidence after Celtic’s Ibrox fightback earned them a well-deserved point against Rangers at the weekend.
However, despite Aberdeen’s poor form against Celtic historically, Martin O’Neill’s side could face that new-manager bounce after Pittodrie chairman Dave Cormack announced manager candidate Sandro Schwarz will take in tonight’s crucial Scottish Premiership clash.
The tactic switch Martin O’Neill could use vs Aberdeen.
Thoughts on Kelechi Iheanacho returning to the Celtic starting XI?
Celtic must expect new manager bounce with Sandro Schwarz at Aberdeen
Although Schwarz is not the Dons’ official manager, Anthony Joseph shared on X how the German will be watching over the game as he sizes up his new squad ahead of his official appointment.
Joseph said on X, “Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack has confirmed that managerial target Sandro Schwarz is visiting the city and will be in attendance at the Dons’ clash with Celtic tomorrow.
“Sky Sports News learned today that Schwarz is in talks with Aberdeen, with Eirik Horneland’s move stalling.”
