Showing 12pm, 29 October: SPFL- Aberdeen v Celtic

Derek McInnes thinks Celtic present a more daunting challenge this season but still believes his Aberdeen side can beat the champions on Saturday.

And his confidence has not been dented by the midweek loss to Hamilton Accies.

“Rather than come back towards the rest of the teams, I think they are actually getting better,” said the Dons manager.

“But we feel a bit of pride that we’ve managed to put up some sort of fight with them the last couple of years and have beaten them a few times.”

Celtic overpowered Aberdeen 4-1 in the first meeting between the sides in Glasgow back in August.

And Saturday’s visitors are seven points clear of the second-top Dons, with a game in hand.

“Celtic have got good players, they’ve got good form, I think they’re playing with good confidence, there’s a better feeling about Celtic at the minute, with togetherness even with their support – they believe in their manager and they believe in their team,” said McInnes.
