OPINION

Celtic travel to Aberdeen on Saturday needing just a single point to guarantee them the SPFL title for yet another season as they look to end the season on a high.

Neil Lennon’s side have won all of their last five away matches against Aberdeen, however the hosts will be looking to produce a similar performance to the one which saw them hold Celtic to a goalless draw in their last league meeting in March.

Olivier Ntcham could come into Celtic’s midfield, with the 23-year-old capable of adding little more energy to Celtic’s midfield, after Lennon’s side appeared lethargic at times during their 1-0 win against Kilmarnock last weekend, in place of Callum McGregor.

Celtic’s defence is likely to remain unchanged after keeping a clean sheet last weekend, with Mikael Lustig and Emilio Izaguirre starting at full back, while Kristoffer Ajer and Jozo Simunovic, who scored the winner last weekend against Kilmarnock, paired at centre half.

Scott Brown is likely to be joined in midfield by Tommy Rogic, while Scott Sinclair and James Forrest are expected to start on the wings and provide attacking ammunition.

Lennon is also expected to once again opt to select Odsonne Edouard up front as Celtic look for a positive result to help them secure the title this weekend against Aberdeen.
