  "account": "Celtic are set to face Aberdeen in a Scottish Premiership clash at Celtic Park on Wednesday, with the aim of clinching four consecutive league wins. Currently sitting atop the table, Celtic has won all three of their first matches in domestic action this season. Their recent form includes a narrow 2-1 victory over Falkirk, showcasing a high level of morale. Notably, the team has maintained an unblemished home record at Celtic Park this term.\n\nCallum McGregor returns to the squad after recovering from a recent illness, providing a much-needed boost. However, the title contenders face a challenging injury situation, particularly among their attack and defense. Strikers Kasper Høgh and left-back Kieran Tierney are ruled out for this game due to abductor issues, while other players like Callum Osman and Alistair Johnston are also expected to miss the match. Alistair Johnston, Jota, and Reo Hatate will continue to undergo rehabilitation programs.\n\nOliver Sørensen, a new midfield signing from Parma, is available for selection after recovering from a loan stint. Camilo Durán, who has been a consistent forward option, is expected to lead the attack again. The predicted starting lineup for Celtic includes Sinisalo in goal, with Donovan, Carter-Vickers, Scales, and Tierney in defense. In midfield, Baur, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hassan, and Nygren will feature, while Durán will spearhead the attack. The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm BST on Wednesday, September 2nd.
