What TV channel and time is Aberdeen v Celtic on?

Celtic travel north on Sunday in desperate need of a win.

The Hoops have won just two of their last eight games in all competitions and pressure is mounting on manager Ange Postecoglou.

They come into this game after a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League, which came after a 1-1 draw at home to Dundee United in the league last weekend.

Ex-Celtic captain Scott Brown is now a player-coach at Aberdeen and looks set to play against his former club.

Here's what you need to know about the game:

Where and when is it?

The match takes place at Pittodrie on Sunday, October 3.

What time is kick-off?

The action gets under way at 12pm.

What channel is it on?

Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event will both show the game live.

Quotes corner

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou: “You don’t want to ignore your opponent because you want to respect what they bring.

“They have had a probably disappointing start for them so I guess they will be just as motivated and they didn’t have a game in midweek so they may see some advantage in that.

“But again, all these things become irrelevant, we just have to be a stronger team than we are at the moment.

“In terms of turning our performances into results, getting Cal back will help because he is one that won’t accept what is going on at the moment."

Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart: “It is important that we pick ourselves up and we go again and we go hard and look to get three points.

“Aberdeen have their own problems and they are going to take care of themselves but we have to look at us and turn the possession and dominance in games into victories, it is as simple as that.

“We will go there with the same intentions we have had in every game, to dominate and win and we need to get over the line.”
