The game in August was postponed after the Scottish Government punished the teams for COVID-19 breaches. A number of Aberdeen players tested positive after going out in Aberdeen city centre after the defeat to Rangers on the opening day. Bolingoli of Celtic broke the rules by travelling to Spain and failing to self-isolate on his return.
Celtic will now host Aberdeen twice in ten days, playing the Pittodrie outfit on February 27 as well. These three games are must wins for Celtic as they need to claw back the difference against Rangers if they are to win 10IAR.
