Celtic will be looking to pick themselves up off the Champions League floor with an impressive win over Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership today.

Brendan Rodgers will be looking for his side to show a reaction after the 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Atletico Madrid and today at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 fans will offer him that opportunity.

And that is why Aberdeen winger, Jamie McGrath, is expecting a tough afternoon at Paradise today.

McGrath said [Aberdeen Live], “It is going to be the same as Thursday. We might need to suffer a bit without the ball.

“We can do that and we are dangerous on the counter-attack. You saw Duk, he was brilliant in Greece. He hasn’t played in a few weeks but he was excellent.

“No matter who we play against we will always get chances. We trust ourselves to keep a clean sheet. I know we conceded two against PAOK but those boys put their bodies on the line.

“We have to go in again Celtic with the same mindset.”

Celtic must show a good response today vs Aberdeen

Brendan Rodgers knows all the eyes of the media and the Celtic support will be on his side today expecting a response from the Champions League disappointment.

Nothing less than a comprehensive win will do and the Celtic manager will need to send out his most attacking side to do that.

Many teams that come to Celtic Park generally don’t get a lot of the ball and, like McGrath, I fully expect the Hoops to be dominant and rack up an impressive scoreline.

Celtic will be hurting. Their pride will be dented and there is nothing worse for teams to face than a wounded Brendan Rodgers side and I believe there will be goals in this game as Celtic assert their dominance on Scottish football.
