Celtic have made an ominous start to their Scottish Premiership title defence and they will be looking to register another win when hosting Aberdeen on Wednesday night.
The Bhoys, who have won 14 of the last 15 editions of the Scottish top flight including the last five, sit top of the pile after the first three matches of the 2026/27 campaign on nine points.
Aberdeen are down in 10th place, mixing one win with two defeats, and it looks like a tough ask for them to come away from Parkhead with a positive result.

Celtic v Aberdeen Prediction
Best Bet: Celtic to win and over 3.5 goals @ 5/4
Celtic have already suffered a major disappointment this season, failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League after squandering a 3-0 first-leg lead to lose 5-4 on aggregate to LASK Linz.
The Bhoys will still be involved in European football, having dropped into the League Phase of the Europa League, but the club know they will need to improve if they want to progress in that tournament.
Away from Europe, it has been business as usual for Martin O'Neill's men, who have started their Scottish Premiership title defence with three wins in a row.
Beating Dundee 1-0 on the opening weekend, Celtic then thrashed Kilmarnock 5-1 before getting the better of Falkirk 2-1 on Saturday.
The Bhoys have scored in all six outings this season, netting multiple times in four of those, and that attacking prowess can help them to a ninth-successive home win when entertaining Aberdeen.
Perhaps unlucky to lose 1-0 at home to Rangers on Sunday, the Dons have a dismal record at Parkhead, with their last win at this stadium in 2018.
Aberdeen have failed to keep things tight when visiting Celtic, with at least three goals conceded in five of their last six trips to the Glasgow giants.
A Celtic win with over 3.5 goals has landed in five of the last six home meetings against the Dons, and that same outcome could unfold on Wednesday.
Alternative Bet: Camilo Duran to score two or more goals @ 7/2
Celtic's summer signing Camilo Duran has been in fine scoring touch, bagging five goals in his last four appearances, and he looks capable of netting multiple times against Aberdeen.
The Colombian hit a double in the win over Falkirk on Saturday, his second brace in his last three outings, and he can punish an Aberdeen defence with just one clean sheet in the last nine away fixtures.
Celtic v Aberdeen Bet Builder Tip
Benjamin Nygren anytime goalscorer
Afeez Aremu to be booked
Kevin Nisbet anytime goalscorer
Pays 22/1
Celtic's Benjamin Nygren has scored three goals in five appearances this season, with two of those coming at home, while he has netted in all three previous meetings against Aberdeen.
Aberdeen midfielder Afeez Aremu will have plenty of defensive work to do in Glasgow and given he has been booked in two of his three league outings this term, another caution looks likely.
Kevin Nisbet has been Aberdeen's most potent attacking player this season, scoring nine goals in eight appearances, and he has a good record against Celtic with two goals in the last three league meetings.
