Three points would certainly be a huge boost to both of these sides as they face off at Pittodrie today,
Celtic and Aberdeen fans wouldn't have expected to be sitting quite so low in the Premiership table come the start of October.
While both clubs are undergoing severe rebuilds, there isn't much more room for error for both as they continue to lose ground on their rivals at the top of the table.
Stephen Glass is under increasing pressure with Aberdeen having lost their last three league games.
Indeed, they haven't tasted a win since beating Iceland's Breidablik on August 12.
New Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou could also do with a victory to win over some of the Celtic faithful who were hurt after seeing their team humbled 4-0 in the Europa League at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen.
