Jimmy Thelin has vowed to keep his usual game-plan for Celtic in their top-of-the-table clash as Aberdeen kept their 100 per cent record with a late 3-2 win over Hearts.

Ante Palaversa’s late goal the sunk bottom dogs in a thriller at Pittodrie. It means Aberdeen and Celtic are locked first and second in the Premiership, each on maximum points after Brendan Rodgers’ side fought back at Dingwall to go head-to-head at Celtic Park after the international break.

Thelin said: “Celtic are good, but we have to prepare ourselves and we usually respect every opponent and of course you see how they play at home and these kinds of things.

But we have to prepare ourselves and try to have a really good performance and get a good result. So we don’t change our preparations or the way we work and then we’re going to reload and prepare for that game. “Yeah, I’m going to focus on that a little bit further down the line, but now today.
