Aberdeen vs Celtic LIVE score and goal updates from the Scottish Premiership clash at Pittodrie
Video Loading In a week and a half these two teams will be slugging it out at Hampden for the final piece of silverware of the season. But tonight, Aberdeen take on Celtic with the stakes only high for one side at least. Celtic have of course already wrapped up the title, their fourth in a row. This clash at Pittodrie means little to them. But for Jimmy Thelin 's men, third place is still possible and so it means everything. But they will need to beat Brendan Rodgers ' Treble chasers and give them some belief ahead of the Scottish Cup Final on May 24. Gulp. Because there may be well sort of that. Hammered by Rangers last week. Skelped by Celtic in February. The Dons tend to fold badly. Celtic, meanwhile, just keep on motoring and will be keen to hand out another reminder of why they are champions and such big favourites to land the Treble. It promises to be an intriguing encounter in the North-East and may give some pointers ahead of that Hampden showpiece. 18:15Graeme Young Black armbands to remember Jack McGinn A Celtic club statement read. The Celtic players will wear black armbands at tonight's Premiership game against Aberdeen at Pittodrie as a mark of respect. Everyone at Celtic Football Club is extremely saddened at the death of former Celtic chairman, Jack McGinn, who has passed away at the age of 92. Jack first joined Celtic back in 1965, having previously been a newspaper executive, in order to help the club establish its own newspaper, an idea he had brought to the board. That was the Celtic View, which was first published on August 11, 1965, and it remains the oldest club publication in football some 40 years later. Jack was the first editor of the Celtic View, a position he would hold for a number of years, and he always remained a strong supporter and avid reader of the publication. Appointed the club's Commercial Manager in 1981, he was given a seat on the board, becoming vice-chairman in 1985 and Celtic chairman a year later. Jack would remain as chairman for five years, and his tenure included the unforgettable Centenary season, when Celtic, then managed by Billy McNeill who had returned to the club at the start of the campaign, won a league and cup double. He remained as a non-executive director after stepping down as chairman, eventually standing down in August 1994. Jack also occupied a number of roles within the SFA, which culminated in him becoming SFA chairman in 1997, a position he held for almost six years. He always remained a dedicated Celtic supporter and he was a regular presence at Celtic Park over the past few years. 18:12Graeme Young Mich on the menu? Red-hot Michel-Ange Balikwisha is giving a Celtic transfer a thumbs-up in more ways than one as he stands on the brink of a money-spinning exit from Royal Antwerp. The winger is in the form of his life months after admitting he reneged on exiting the Pro League side due to his ongoing injury woes. Celtic have long been admirers of a £6million-rated wide man who has earned rave reviews for his displays during the Belgian League playoffs with onlookers extolling his game-winning potential which includes two goals and four assists in his past five games. Balikwisha has been personally responding to Celtic fans on social media touting him for Glasgow's east end and appears ready to signal the green light on exiting his homeland after previously vowing to stay in situ until he was fully fit. Celtic have been linked with Tyrhys Dolan and Blackburn Rovers are doing all they can to keep him in situ.
