History of the Celtic v Aberdeen fixture

Celtic prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Bhoys are clearly on top, having won 81 and lost only 24 of the 131 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Celtic Park was less than a year ago, in March 2006, with Celtic running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
