Aberdeen
- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers named four changes to the Celts side that won comfortably in the Highlands as they beat Ross County 3-0 in Dingwall, before being embarrassed 6-0 by Atletico Madrid in Tuesday's Champions League meeting.
- Alastair Johnston replaced Anthony Ralston at right-back for the match in Madrid. Despite scoring against the Staggies, David Turnbull was replaced by Matt O'Riley to play alongside Paulo Bernardo and Callum McGregor in midfield.
- Luis Palma and Kyogo Furuhashi joined Daizen Maeda - who is out for six weeks through injury - in attack to take on Atletico. Hyun-Jun Yang and Hyun-Gyu Oh started against the Staggies so could force their way into the lineup this weekend.
- Aberdeen boss Barry Robson named one change to the Dons team that advanced to the Scottish League Cup final where they'll play Rangers, after a 1-0 win against Hibs at Hampden, before a 2-2 draw with PAOK in Greece on Thursday.
- Stefan Gartenmann, Slobodan Rubezic and Richard Jensen continued in the Dons defence as the back three, with Jack MacKenzie and Nicky Devlin starting at left and right wing-back respectively.
- Ryan Duncan replaced Leighton Clarkson as part of Aberdeen's four-man midfield. Bojan Miovski was also sat amongst the substitutes in Greece, as Duk lead the line and gave the visitors the lead in Thessaloniki.
