Aberdeen vs Celtic (20 December 2026, Scottish Premiership): match facts, form and head-to-head

Aberdeen host Celtic in what promises to be a stark clash of ambitions, with the Dons languishing in 10th place on just four points from one win, one draw and three defeats, and a meagre -5 goal difference (2‑7). Celtic sit atop the table, unbeaten after six games, having amassed 18 points and a healthy +11 goal margin (14‑3). The contrast in form is glaring: Aberdeen’s solitary victory offers scant confidence, while the champions arrive on a perfect run, eager to extend their dominance. For the hosts, the fixture represents a vital chance to claw back from the bottom and perhaps spark a late‑season revival, whereas Celtic will look to cement their lead and keep the pressure on the rest of the league.
