Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic side to face Aberdeen with skipper Callum McGregor BACK for the Hoops.
The influential skipper suffered an injury during a Champions League clash with RB Leipzig and missed a chunk of the campaign pre-World Cup before stepping up his training during the break. He featured in the friendly defeat to Rennes in Portugal and is now back in the heart of the midfield in a major boost to the Scottish champions. Josip Juranovic misses out due to his World Cup involvement with Croatia still in Qatar with a third place play-off against Morocco to come later today. They lost out in the semi-final to Argentina with the full-back - who is high in demand - due back in Scotland later next week.
Rangers defeated Hibs 3-2 on Thursday night in Michael Beale's first game as boss as they came from behind twice to reduce the gap at the top to six points. Celtic can restore their nine-point advantage at the top of table with victory at Pittodrie as they continue their quest to land back to back league titles.
