Dundee defender Kosta Gadzhalov will miss Friday's Premiership meeting with a calf injury. Canada striker Marcus Haber is a doubt with a knock which kept him out of the 1-1 friendly draw against Scotland last week. A defeat for Aberdeen at Dens Park would confirm Celtic as champions for the sixth consecutive year. Dons forward Jayden Stockley is suspended and defender Mark Reynolds is recovering from hernia surgery. Aberdeen have won four and lost four of their last eight matches away from Pittodrie Dundee striker Faissal El Bakhtaoui: "I just want to work hard and show the manager that I can play in his team. "It is a big game for us. We are looking for the top six, the manager knows that as well so we need to work hard and do our best to do that. "I have done it (scored) against Celtic, I can do the same against Aberdeen. I think I can do that against anybody. "We can give Aberdeen a good game. They are a good team, they are second in the league obviously so they are a good team. But we are a good team as well and we know we can do something against them."

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes said: "We're looking to continue where we left off before the international break (13 wins from 15 games). "We've seen a definite increase in energy in performance since we came back from the winter break. "Dundee are normally strong at home. The bottom six are all still looking over their shoulder for relegation, so every game is so important. "Celtic were always going to win the title from October-November on, you couldn't have said that the previous season. The form they have shown this season has been outstanding. "We just want to go on chalking up wins for our own benefit."
