Celtic were thumped 6-0 at Atletico Madrid to leave them rooted to the bottom of their Champions League group.

Their task was already difficult but was made tougher with Daizen Maeda's early red card.

That then reinvigorated the discussion on financial disparity in that competition, making it difficult to compete.

And if the vast difference in financials is the main reason, they should have no issue getting beyond Dons here.

Aberdeen led at PAOK before falling 2-1 behind in the second period.

They responded brilliantly and defended for their lives late on to earn a big 2-2 draw.

Their trouble? They've not beaten Celtic in the last 22 meetings between the pair, which is a crazy statistic.

Difficult midweek exertions could mean a relatively low-key game here.

Which isn't normally the case with these two sides, but you sense an edge could well have come off.

Celtic have only scored more than two once in their last five games, and that was probably mainly to do with that early County card.

With two goals in his last four before that midweek drubbing, Luis Palma is decent value to open the scoring here.
