Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic will face Derek McInnes’s Aberdeen at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership this weekend.

Former Rangers midfielder Barry Ferguson has predicted on Betsafe that Celtic will win against Aberdeen at home this weekend.

Celtic will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Aberdeen at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership.

Brendan Rodgers’s side will head into the match against the Dons on the back of a 2-0 victory over Partick Thistle at home in the league.

The Hoops are at the top of the league table at the moment with 44 points from 19 matches, five points clear of second-placed Aberdeen.

Former Rangers midfielder Ferguson has backed the Hoops to win against Derek McInnes’s side, and so has ex-Celtic midfielder Simon Donnelly.

Ferguson told Betsafe: “I do think that they (Aberdeen) will be coming to Celtic Park with a lot of confidence, but I don’t see them winning the game.”

“I think Celtic will win this game,” added Ferguson.

Donnelly told Betsafe: “I would say Celtic would shade it.”

Celtic have a much better team than Aberdeen do, and playing at home will also give them an advantage.

Given the Hoops’ form at Celtic Park, it is hard to imagine the visiting team pick up all three points from the match in Glasgow.

However, Aberdeen do have the quality to pick up a point from the encounter against Celtic.
