    Aberdeen begin life after Barry Robson with a blockbuster home date with Celtic.

    The interim management team of Peter Leven and Scott Anderson will take charge of things today as the club continue to assess their options following the departure of Robson in midweek.

    The 8th placed Dons will be hoping the change can spark an about turn in their fortunes as they look to address a disappointing run of form , and get themselves climbing up the Scottish Premiership table again.

    However, that will be easier said than done as their next two games are today’s home date with the champions, then a trip to Rangers on Tuesday night.

    Celtic return to action for the first time since what was a relatively quiet transfer window for them.

    They have added a couple of new faces to a squad that have managed to keep them at the league's summit.

    But with Rangers breathing down their necks, manager Brendan Rodgers knows the importance of getting the win that would keep the pressure on their city rivals, who host Livingston later on.
