History of the Glasgow Celtic v Aberdeen fixture

Celtic prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Celtic Park on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Bhoys are clearly on top, having won 77 and lost only 23 of the 126 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Celtic Park was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Aberdeen inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the The Bhoys in a Scottish Premier match.
