Predicted XI: Celtic v Aberdeen (A)

Ahead of Celtic’s top of the table clash against Aberdeen on Sunday, we at Read Celtic will role-play and predict the starting XI.

We will be playing the role of Brendan Rodgers and will be choosing the starting XI, as well as predicting how the team will line-up on the pitch.

It also includes a bit of insight into what we expect from each player, and what they can do to make the difference.

Rodgers’ men experienced a painful exit from the Europa League midweek after a hefty 3-0 defeat against Zenit in Russia.

The last time the Hoops travelled up to face Derek McInnes’ side at Pittodrie was last October, where the champions put in one of their most complete performances of this season and ran out 3-0 winners.

To understand our prediction, you also need to see the latest team news ahead of the game, here is our predicted eleven in a 4-2-3-1 formation for Sunday’s 1.30pm kick-off.
