Aberdeen prepare to entertain Celtic at Pittodrie Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 54 of the 139 previous games, with the Dons winning just 49.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
