The Celtic team news regarding the match against Aberdeen has been officially announced, eliciting reactions from supporters who believe that a particular player has been ‘unfairly’ excluded from the lineup.

 

Celtic will be competing at Pittodrie this evening as they seek to advance further ahead of their nearest title contenders.

 

 

 

Aberdeen continues to trail Brendan Rodgers’ team by four points, despite their impressive commencement to the season under the stewardship of manager Jimmy Thelin.

 

 

The Dons currently hold a seven-point advantage over Rangers, who have underperformed to date and occupy third place.

 

 

However, the upcoming match in the Granite City is anticipated to present one of the more formidable challenges for the Celts.

 

Celtic is currently exhibiting exceptional performance, remaining undefeated in the Scottish Premiership.

 

 

Their sole setback occurred against Aberdeen in mid-October at Parkhead, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Celtic’s starting eleven is as follows:

 

SCHMEICHEL, JOHNSTON, CCV, TRUSTY, VALLE, MCGREGOR, BERNARDO, HATATE, KUHN, MAEDA, and KYOGO. Substitutes

 

 

: Sinisalo, Taylor, Scales, Idah, Yang, McCowan, Engels, Forrest, Ralston.

 

 

Reo Hatate and Kyogo had provided their team with what appeared to be a secure lead on that occasion; however, they relinquished two points due to a lacklustre performance in the second half.

 

 

Rodgers has had to exercise creativity in his selections during this campaign as he navigates the demands of the Champions League alongside domestic football.

 

His rotation decisions have, for the most part, yielded positive results.

 

 

This evening, the 51-year-old manager has made further adjustments to his starting eleven, following their 1-1 stalemate against Club Brugge in the European competition last week.

This follows a resounding 5-0 victory against Ross County at home on Saturday afternoon, which further reinforced their position at the top of the standings.

 

 

Certain decisions made by Rodgers have come under scrutiny in anticipation of this evening’s significant 90-minute match, prompting supporters to express their opinions regarding the selected personnel.

 

 

The decision to position Alex Valle in lieu of Greg Taylor, along with the selection of Bernardo over Engels, represented two contentious choices for the manager.

 

Fans have expressed their satisfaction with the inclusion of the Portuguese midfielder.

 

 

One supporter remarked, “Bernardo is the appropriate choice,” while another added, “Bernardo and Valle,” accompanied by applause emoticons.

 

 

Others expressed disappointment regarding the omission of Luke McCowan, who was named man of the match against County.

 

 

 

One individual lamented, “I fail to comprehend the decision to exclude McCowan,” while another asserted, “McCowan was undeserving of such a dismissal.”
