Celtic face seven games in the space of 22 days across three different competitions, and the second of those fixtures comes tomorrow night (Wednesday) when Aberdeen are the visitors to Glasgow.

Martin O’Neill’s side have enjoyed a 100 per cent win rate to their domestic campaign, and the aim is to continue that with another win on Wednesday.

However, Shaun Maloney confirmed that Kasper Høgh and Kieran Tierney look set to miss the midweek clash with Aberdeen, although he is hopeful they will both return for the weekend trip to St Mirren.

Callum Osmand, who suffered an ankle injury towards the end of last Saturday’s win over Falkirk, could be out for a few weeks.

Callum McGregor, who missed the weekend win over Falkirk, is back in training after recovering from a stomach bug.

Aberdeen have lost two of their three league fixtures so far this season, but will travel to Glasgow intent on trying to put more points on the board.

“There are still plenty of good players up there, and they’re really strong side, attacking-wise,” Shaun Maloney said.

“Watching them, they're definitely different to Stephen’s St Mirren side.

“We'll prepare for them being a back four and a back five although they've predominantly been the four this season. So, they’re a big threat in the final third. I know Kevin Nisbet is in brilliant form so I think it'll be a really tough game.

“We've looked really good attacking but I think we can, as a team and as a group, definitely tighten up without the ball.

“We have to be more aggressive. At times we look really good attacking, but we want more without the ball, and if we do get that, then I think we're a decent side.”
