Tomorrow’s game at Celtic Park against Aberdeen will be as big and more difficult than derby day. It’s certainly one to relish…

60,000 supporters, certainly one to relish
Club football is back tomorrow, and it couldn’t get any bigger than a clash between the two biggest sides in the country, hosted at the best stadium Scotland. Both sides with one hundred percent win records going at it in front of 60,000 supporters. It’s certainly one to relish.
The atmosphere will be similar to that of Glasgow Derby day, although we will be facing a much more difficult task as the Dons are undoubtedly the second best side in the country on current form and have no intentions of letting up as they plan to battle Celtic for the title. Hopefully they can finish the season as worthy runners-up.

Greg Taylor the only doubt
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers should have near enough a full squad to choose from with the news that CCV is back in training, although doubts remain over Greg Taylor who will probably sit this one out. James Forrest who of course couldn’t join up on international duty due to injury, was back in training today so is likely to be on the bench. All things considered after an international break the squad is in good shape.

Celtic’s biggest test of the season domestically
This is undoubtedly our biggest test of the season domestically, but one that Brendan Rodgers, like the Celtic support will relish. More often than not he gets us results in the big games. Hopefully Aberdeen’s outstanding start to the season – they currently are the most in-form side in Europe – will mean that they will not park the bus and instead have a go at Celtic. If they do this could end up being one of the games of the season.
Tomorrow can’t come quick enough, a 3pm Saturday kick off at Paradise in what’s sure to be a superb atmosphere. Bring it on and come on you Bhoys in Green!
