Aberdeen vs Celtic LIVE score and goal updates from the Scottish Premiership clash at Pittodrie
In a week and a half these two teams will be slugging it out at Hampden for the final piece of silverware of the season.
But tonight, Aberdeen take on Celtic with the stakes only high for one side at least. Celtic have of course already wrapped up the title, their fourth in a row. This clash at Pittodrie means little to them. But for Jimmy Thelin 's men, third place is still possible and so it means everything.
But they will need to beat Brendan Rodgers ' Treble chasers and give them some belief ahead of the Scottish Cup Final on May 24. Gulp.
Because there may be well sort of that. Hammered by Rangers last week. Skelped by Celtic in February. The Dons tend to fold badly.
Celtic, meanwhile, just keep on motoring and will be keen to hand out another reminder of why they are champions and such big favourites to land the Treble.
It promises to be an intriguing encounter in the North-East and may give some pointers ahead of that Hampden showpiece.

Black armbands to remember Jack McGinn
A Celtic club statement read.
The Celtic players will wear black armbands at tonight's Premiership game against Aberdeen at Pittodrie as a mark of respect.
Everyone at Celtic Football Club is extremely saddened at the death of former Celtic chairman, Jack McGinn, who has passed away at the age of 92.
Jack first joined Celtic back in 1965, having previously been a newspaper executive, in order to help the club establish its own newspaper, an idea he had brought to the board.
That was the Celtic View, which was first published on August 11, 1965, and it remains the oldest club publication in football some 40 years later.
Jack was the first editor of the Celtic View, a position he would hold for a number of years, and he always remained a strong supporter and avid reader of the publication.
Appointed the club's Commercial Manager in 1981, he was given a seat on the board, becoming vice-chairman in 1985 and Celtic chairman a year later.
Jack would remain as chairman for five years, and his tenure included the unforgettable Centenary season, when Celtic, then managed by Billy McNeill who had returned to the club at the start of the campaign, won a league and cup double.
He remained as a non-executive director after stepping down as chairman, eventually standing down in August 1994.
Jack also occupied a number of roles within the SFA, which culminated in him becoming SFA chairman in 1997, a position he held for almost six years.
He always remained a dedicated Celtic supporter and he was a regular presence at Celtic Park over the past few years.

Mich on the menu?
Red-hot Michel-Ange Balikwisha is giving a Celtic transfer a thumbs-up in more ways than one as he stands on the brink of a money-spinning exit from Royal Antwerp.
The winger is in the form of his life months after admitting he reneged on exiting the Pro League side due to his ongoing injury woes.
Celtic have long been admirers of a £6million-rated wide man who has earned rave reviews for his displays during the Belgian League playoffs with onlookers extolling his game-winning potential which includes two goals and four assists in his past five games.
Balikwisha has been personally responding to Celtic fans on social media touting him for Glasgow's east end and appears ready to signal the green light on exiting his homeland after previously vowing to stay in situ until he was fully fit.
Celtic have been linked with Tyrhys Dolan and Blackburn Rovers are doing all they can to keep him in situ.
Former Celtic chairman Jack McGinn dies
Former Celtic chairman Jack McGinn has died at the age of 92.
McGinn spent almost 40 years in the game, his first role coming with the Celtic View back in the mid-1960s.
He was then appointed to a commercial role at the Parkhead club and joined the board before becoming Celtic chairman in 1986.
McGinn stepped down at chairman in 1991 and left the club following Fergus McCann's takeover in 1994.
He then worked for the Scottish Football Association in a variety of roles before becoming president in 1997, leaving the role in 2003.
McGinn was the grandad of Scotland and Aston Villa star John McGinn, along with footballing brother Paul and Stephen.

Livingston have quality to thrive in the Premiership, says wing ace
Graham Carey is confident the Lions have what it takes to cope in top flight Graham Carey says Livingston have the quality and mentality to thrive in the Premiership, and know how to win games. The Irish winger looks to the example set by Dundee United in their return to the top-flight last season, but says the Lions have a better squad. Carey caught the eye of boss David Martindale when he scored a scorching winner for St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup last season and watched Livingston's play-off final win over Ross County to return to Scotland's elite league. The 36-year-old former Celtic youth liked what he saw, and is pleased to be on board this season as the Lions prepare to visit Kilmarnock – a side they lost narrowly to 1-0 in the League Cup at Rugby Park earlier this month – in Saturday's top flight opener. He said: 'Because I knew there was interest, I was watching them in the play-off final, and when we [St Johnstone] played them in the cup last year when we beat them, we should have been three or four down at half-time. 'Compared to some of the teams I played against last year with St Johnstone this team, I feel, is better than quite a few of them – and we've added some quality and experience as well. 'We know how tough this league is, we know it's going to be tight, and we just feel like we have the quality in the squad and the mentality that the boys built last year by winning a lot of games. 'You saw even Dundee United last year when they came up, they had a winning mentality. 'They didn't necessarily play great football all the time, but they knew how to win games, and I think that's important.' Former Plymouth Argyle and Ross County star Carey says Martindale played a huge role in his decision to join the West Lothian club, after St Johnstone were pitched into the Championship. He said: 'When I spoke to the manager in the summer he said some of the problems they had in games last year was when teams were in a low block and they found it difficult to break teams down at times. 'That's what he brought me in for, to be creative, and add to the culture we have here as a winning team. 'People want to score goals and they know how to win games, and if I can help that throughout the season, then great. 'It was quite an easy decision, especially when I looked at the facilities that we have here, and the new pitch that was going down. 'It's like night and day compared to last season, it's really enjoyable to play on, and to train on. 'I've known him over the years, playing against his teams, and I've always found it difficult. 'They're always high-intensity, want to play good football, want to get the ball forward, but in the right way. 'We feel that we have good enough players to be able to play through teams, not always over the top. 'After speaking to him in the summer it was quite easy, it was done over the course of a couple of days. 'When I saw the facilities it was great for me, and it's closer to home as well.' Carey has had a varied career, including in England and Bulgaria with CSKA Sofia, which he feels has benefited him. He said: 'I definitely don't think I'd be still probably playing at this level if I didn't go abroad. 'I think coming off the back of that I played four years in England, where I played almost 200 games, so that was a lot of games on my body. 'Going abroad, we had winter breaks, international breaks, and not as many games – even playing in a warmer climate, I felt like it reset my body a bit. 'So when I came back I was still able to play at this level at my age.' Meanwhile, defender Ryan McGowan insists the narrow loss at Killie won't have a baring on this weekend's clash. He said: 'I thought we equipped ourselves quite well and we played well without scoring. It was a good opportunity for players that have not played at that level to sample it. 'I'm looking forward to a big week and hopefully getting off to a good start.'

I can't fathom how Celtic are in the same boat as Rangers and Brendan Rodgers is right to crank up the pressure
Sutty can see what's clear to everyone and reckons Hoops rivals will be loving the unnecessary mess that's been created this summer It's not just Celtic fans who are hacked off by the way the transfer window has gone. It's now blatantly obvious Brendan Rodgers is fed up as well. The manager's comments have got stronger and stronger as the weeks have gone on. But yesterday he really spelled it out in no uncertain terms. We can talk about fans' frustration but Rodgers feels the same way too – it looks like his patience his starting to wear a little thin at yet another window that hasn't gone to plan. There's no need to try to work out any hidden messages any more. This was a clear warning – back me properly or I'm off at the end of the season. You can't blame him. He's the one who will carry the can if things go wrong in Europe or at home. And while the contract situation is the elephant in the room, it could be clearer in the next few weeks. If Rodgers doesn't get the backing he wants and needs, it WILL look like the club is treading water rather than matching his ambition. He's cranking up the pressure on the board and it's now over to them to deliver. It's all a bit unnecessarily messy really – and it's a major leg up for Rangers. They'll be loving all this. They've obviously won the Pre-season Cup for about the 10th summer in a row. But perhaps they should cool their jets a bit for now. Martin's team pulled off a huge result against Panathinaikos in the Champions League. I've been a bit taken aback by some of the reaction to it. You'd think they got thumped by the Greeks rather than secured progression to the next stage. They got the job done and that is what it is all about. People can say that Panathinaikos dominated but what did they expect? Of course there would be periods of pressure. Yet when you look at it overall, there weren't actually that many clear-cut chances created. The Greeks were pretty hopeless in the final third but Rangers toughed it out and got the result. They deserve massive credit for that. It's clear there is still a lot of work needing done though. There are issues over the frontline with question marks over Danilo and Cyriel Dessers still hanging around when everyone thought he'd be gone. The same goes for Hamza Igamane and that's not an ideal situation. But Rangers have recruited some interesting players. I've got a close friend who follows Sheffield Wednesday and they tell me Djedi Gassama is a player. He's made a heck of a start though and now with Mikey Moore arriving, Celtic fans must be looking at all these wingers and wondering how they can do it and not them. It's understandable Rangers are a work in progress. It's unfathomable Celtic are in the same boat. You get the feeling the supporters could really turn at any moment and Rodgers has now put the ball firmly in the board's court. Look, there's every chance Celtic could snap up three or four players in quick fashion like in the past and everyone is left wondering what the fuss was about. It's not happened yet though and that's why Rodgers' warnings have grown louder. Jahmai Simpson-Pusey arriving is an interesting one. He'll not be coming from Manchester City to sit on the bench but is he going to support or replace Cameron Carter-Vickers? By the sounds of it, Carter-Vickers is going to need a good few weeks to get up to speed after surgery in the summer, so it's perhaps a smart move. It's also a long season so you'd imagine Simpson-Pusey will get plenty of game time. We all know the issues are further up the pitch – and they'll need to get it right. All jokes aside about Rangers' pre-season optimism, this is not like the days of Mark Warburton and Pedro Caixinha. Last season may have ended up a procession for Celtic but it's anything but a formality this time around. I know from experience it doesn't take much to tip the scales in Scotland and that's why Celtic need to be wary. It's not always about the derbies. It's about getting results against the rest and you have to fancy Martin being better in that regard than Philippe Clement. It's not just Rangers who they need to keep an eye on either. It does look like the Premiership will be stronger this season. Aberdeen will have the Scottish Cup bounce, Hearts are looking in solid shape under Derek McInnes and Hibs were desperately unlucky against Midtjylland but seem to have picked up where they left off last season. Then you've got Dundee United, who, like Rangers, got the job done in Europe and could be a difficult challenge again. At the other end, you fear for Dundee after the bonkers decision to bin Tony Docherty. It's not Steven Pressley's fault but he's had to pick up the pieces and his squad looks well short. You'd fancy Livingston under David Martindale to ruffle a few feathers again and they might surprise some people with the way they play these days. There are plenty of teams out there who have the ability to trip up the big two on any given week. In the meantime, it looks like Celtic are tripping themselves up – and inadvertently they've made this coming campaign an exciting prospect.

The burning Celtic and Rangers questions answered as the Saturday Jury looks at the seismic issues
The Ibrox side have taken a step closer to the big time but the Hoops are still on the lookout for reinforcements to boost chances Will Rangers go all the way to the Champions League group stage? SCOTT BURNS: The reality is Rangers should be beating Viktoria Plzen. Hearts shouldn't have lost to them last year. I would expect Rangers to get to the play-off round and then it comes to the luck of the draw. SCOTT MCDERMOTT: They've given themselves a real chance with victory over Panathinaikos. I expect them to see off Plzen and set up a mouth-watering play-off. If they can avoid Benfica or Club Brugge in that they can defy the odds and make it. MICHAEL GANNON: The Champions League dream is on. Plzen shouldn't be underestimated but Rangers can see them off and have a right good go at it. There's nothing lose as the Europe League is in the bag and anything from here is a major bonus. Would Rangers be better developing their own players than signing young Premier League talent on loan? SCOTT BURNS: Ideally that is where they want to get to. Russell Martin had it got a bottom-less pit and so if a loan can fill a gap then by not do it? SCOTT MCDERMOTT: That depends on how good the Premier League prospect is. In the case of Mikey Moore, Rangers have no-one in their academy who's even close to his level so if the opportunity is there to get someone of his ability, they have to take it. MICHAEL GANNON: Rangers need to build for the future but they also need to sort out the here and now. Young players at the club – and at any club – should use these kids of moves as motivation. If they are good enough they'd be in the team. It's up to them to break through. Has Celtic's slow window put their Champions League hopes in danger? SCOTT BURNS: It all depends on the draw. They might still have enough to get through. I just don't get why Celtic always leave a lot of their business to closer to the end of the window. SCOTT MCDERMOTT: It certainly won't help. We seem to say it every year with the Old Firm, in terms of them not being ready for these crucial Euro qualifiers. Brendan Rodgers clearly isn't happy with his squad – for that to be the case so soon before the Champions League tie isn't ideal. MICHAEL GANNON: They've taken a major gamble. They've had two windows to prepare for this clash so to go in with a squad in weaker shape while having money in the bank is such an unnecessary risk. Who will be the Premiership surprise packages this season? SCOTT BURNS: What is a surprise package? I would expect all the big city clubs to make up the top five and Dundee United or St Mirren to complete the top six. SCOTT MCDERMOTT: I'll go with Falkirk. Expect John McGlynn's team to excite and bring something different to the league. There might just be a single top six spot up for grabs beneath the big five and the Bairns can compete for it along with the likes of Dundee United and St Mirren. MICHAEL GANNON: David Martindale's Livingston are going to be a major nuisance to teams again this season. The Lions have a good blent of muscle and ability – with a top boss to boot – and no one is going to enjoy going to Almondvale
