Neil Lennon has made three changes to the Celtic side that beat St Johnstone on Sunday for tonight’s match against Aberdeen.

Shane Duffy, Scott Brown and Tom Rogic drop out with Stephen Welsh restored to defence, Ismaila Soro replacing the skipper and Albian Ajeti reunited with Odsonne Edouard.

While Celtic have won four on the bounce Aberdeen have failed to score in any of their last five matches with their fans unhappy at the form under Derek McInnes.

In October the two clubs shared six points in an SPFL match at Pittodrie, a month later Celtic won 2-0 at Hampden in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup

During the January transfer window the Dons sold Sam Cosgrove to Birmingham for £2m with Fraser Hornby, Callum Hendry and Flo Kamberi brought in on short term deals to find some goals.

CELTIC:  Bain; Kenny, Welsh, Ajer, Taylor; Christie, Soro, Turnbull, McGregor; Ajeti, Edouard

SUBS: Barkas, Duffy, Brown, Griffiths, Klimala, Rogic, Elyounoussi, Ralston, Laxalt
