Who will win Celtic vs Aberdeen? Our writers deliver their predictions for Premier Sports Cup Hampden blockbuster

It's semi-final weekend at Hampden and what a blockbuster to kick things off as Celtic and Aberdeen go head to head again.

The unbeaten Premiership duo clashed just a couple of weeks ago at Parkhead with Jimmy Thelin and his troops roaring back from two goals down to claim a share of the spoils in Glasgow's east end. They've since matched each other stride for stride with just goal difference keeping them apart in the league standings after midweek wins over Rangers and Dundee.

But the top flight is pushed to one side this weekend with all eyes on booking a spot in the Premier Sports Cup Final. It's set to be a massive occasion under the lights in Mount Florida. Both sides will be desperate to book a return to Hampden in December for the showpiece and the chance to lift the first trophy on offer this season - but to do that, they will need to get over the semi-final hurdle. Brendan Rodgers and Thelin have done all their homework and preparation. It's now time for the talking to be done on the grass and Record Sport's top team have delivered their predictions on how things will go at the national stadium on Saturday evening.

Aberdeen are going in on an unbelievable run of form and have been a breath of fresh air. Jimmy Thelin has transformed them and shown he can get results against Celtic and Rangers. If he can win on Saturday then it would be a gamechanger. I just think Celtic’s big game know-how might just edge it, but can you write the Dons off?

Celtic have the quality to hurt Aberdeen and will have taken the defensive concentration warnings dished out by the Dons two weeks ago into Hampden. Brendan Rodgers can extend his brilliant run at the National Stadium.
