Stats for this game
Matchup Celtic VS Aberdeen
Celtic lead, cup exception
Celtic’s historical superiority is supported by the fixed scorelines around 2026. They won 3-0 on 2 September 2026, 2-1 on 4 March 2026, 3-1 on 21 December 2025 and 2-0 on 10 August 2025. Celtic also won 5-1 in the Premiership on 14 May 2025 and 25 February 2025. Those results establish a heavy tilt, although the margins have not always been identical.
Aberdeen’s penalty response
The FA Cup final on 24 May 2025 offers the clearest contrast here. The match ended 1-1 after normal time, remained 1-1 after extra time, and Aberdeen prevailed 4-3 on penalties. Celtic had won 1-0 on 4 December 2024, while older open scorelines include a 4-3 Celtic result on 26 December 2018 and a 5-2 win on 3 May 2014. Future meetings will ask whether Aberdeen can produce another cup-style interruption or whether Celtic’s established distance returns in the score.
