New signing Leigh Griffiths could be handed a debut for the home side following his January arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
But winger James Forrest is a serious doubt while full-back Adam Matthews may also miss out. Mikael Lustig, Beram Kayal and Steven Mouyokolo are others currently unavailable for the holders.
“They played very last week. They looked like a strong team, very good on the counter-attack,” Celtic manager Neil Lennon told BBC Sport. “All the pressure, as always, is on us. We’re the team everybody wants to beat. I’m expecting it to be tight.”
The Dons are lacking long-term absentee Ryan Jack and full-back Clark Robertson is also unavailable.
