Tonight Aberdeen are targeting their 1st home win over Celtic for 6 years.

Manager Stephen Glass fully expects a reaction from his players when they return to Pittodrie following their latest setback on the road.

Ahead of the Celtic clash he has told his players to forget their away form for the time being and remember the positive performances they had on their own turf.

The Dons took just one point from a hat-trick of away games against teams in the bottom six - St Mirren, Ross County and Livingston - and slipped into the lower half of the table themselves following defeat in West Lothian.

However, Aberdeen have won four of their last five home matches - with the only other ending in a draw against Rangers.

Aberdeen hope to have Scott Brown available this evening to face his former club after the midfielder sat out the defeat at Livingston.

Joe Lewis and Connor Barron are expected to remain out through illness.

Marley Watkins (foot) remains out along with Andy Considine (knee) while Mikey Devlin is back doing some training around the first team following a serious ankle injury.

Celtic are expected to have an unchanged squad for the trip to Pittodrie.

Yosuke Ideguchi is back training but will not make the game.

Kyogo Furuhashi, David Turnbull and Albian Ajeti are all missing with hamstring injuries.
