It's League Cup semi-final time as Celtic and Aberdeen meet this evening in the first of this weekend's Hampden showdowns.

Both sides are unbeaten domestically, tied level on points at the top of the Scottish Premiership, and just two weeks ago they played out an enthralling 2-2 draw at Celtic Park — meaning this is the second meeting of the country's best sides already this campaign. There's a whole lot more on the line now though, with a chance to earn a spot in the final of the season's first piece of silverware, the League Cup.

Jimmy Thelin's Dons will be right up for their trip down from the Granite City, backed by the fans who put on a spectacular show at Pittodrie when they welcome Rangers midweek, as they face Brendan Rodgers' Hoops — meaning one side's fine unbeaten run will be coming to an end today. Here, Football Scotland tells you everything you need to know ahead tonight's of action.
