Is it do or die for any sort of Aberdeen Premiership title challenge this evening?

The Dons face Celtic at Pittodrie this evening with four points now separating the two sides after Aberdeen dropped points in their last three games.

Celtic have a game in hand over their Granite City opponents, so the Dons could do with a massive win to stay within touching distance of the champions.

A draw would still go down as a great result, but defeat could signal the end of a title push this season. That would open the gap to seven points, which could then go to 10 if Celtic win their game in hand.

It’s set to be an intriguing battle as Not The Old Firm delivers you the confirmed team news below.
