Why is Celtic vs Aberdeen not on TV? 

The match is not live on TV due to broadcaster complexities. Sky Sports have the first pick of matches to televise through their deal with the SPFL.

The broadcaster selected the match between Kilmarnock and Rangers for coverage when choices were made back in September.

Sky Sports can show up to five matches at each stadium and 60 matches in total in their deal which runs until 2029.

Due to Sky Sports not showing the match, Premier Sports could then cover the fixture with clubs to receive £75,000 if matches are selected in their secondary 20-game deal.

However, Celtic have opted out of the deal with Premier Sports meaning the broadcaster cannot show the match.

It's thought Celtic chiefs pulled out of the deal in order to avoid causing inconvenience to season tickets holders as televising the match would have meant a change in kick-off time from the 3pm slot
