Aberdeen star in injury blow but defender could return for Celtic game

Aberdeen will be without Connor Barron for the club’s Scottish Premiership opener against Celtic.

The midfielder has yet to feature for the Dons in their three Premier Sports Cup fixtures so far due to a knee issue and will be missing from Sunday’s final group stage encounter with Raith Rovers at Pittodrie.

Barron, who made his breakthrough into the Aberdeen first-team in the second half of last season, played in a friendly against Buckie Thistle prior to the club’s pre-season training camp in Spain.

The 19-year-old featured in a closed-doors encounter at the weekend but “tweaked” his knee.

The first league encounter at Celtic will come too soon for the midfielder who is a key player under Jim Goodwin.
