Match Preview

Aberdeen will take on Celtic in a Scottish Premiership match at Pittodrie Stadium on March 4, 2026 GMT.

Aberdeen, currently 8th in the standings with 29 points, will face Celtic, who are placed 3rd with 55 points.

Aberdeen has faced challenges this season with a 54% loss rate in the Premiership.

In contrast, Celtic has displayed strong away form with 3 wins in their last 6 league matches on the road.

In previous head-to-head matchups, Aberdeen has struggled against Celtic, losing 83% of the last 6 encounters in the Premiership.

The upcoming clash between Aberdeen and Celtic promises to be an intriguing battle as both teams aim to secure a positive result in the league standings.

Prediction: Celtic to win by 1-3 goals.

Aberdeen and Celtic meet for the third, and most likely final, time in the Scottish Premiership this season, in Wednesday night's rearranged fixture at Pittodrie.

Defeat for the Dons away to Hearts is nothing new, as Aberdeen are winless in 14 Scottish Premiership trips to Tynecastle (D4 L10) since winning 2-1 back in May 2017. The Dandies missed out on successive league victories over the Jambos for the first time since August 2019, having now failed to score in their last seven league matches away from home following their 1-0 loss to the league leaders.

Celtic drew three successive Glasgow derbies at Ibrox against Rangers for the first time since March 1996, after the Bhoys battled back from a two-goal deficit to clinch a 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon. The Hoops have lost as many Scottish Premiership matches this season (7) as in the 2023/24 campaign (3) and the 2024/25 campaign (4) combined, desperate to avoid an eighth to remain behind Rangers.

Celtic haven't lost to Aberdeen at Pittodrie since February 2016, and the Bhoys will want to return to winning ways to leapfrog bitter rivals Rangers into second place in the Scottish Premiership standings.
