The table-topping Scottish Premiership clash between Celtic and Aberdeen will not be on TV.

The league contest was not selected by Sky Sports for coverage when the television picks were made back at the start of September.

On September 12 the TV picks were announced for the weekend of October 19/20 with Celtic and Aberdeen's meeting snubbed.

Sky Sports will instead broadcast the league match between Kilmarnock and Rangers.

The decision was made in advance of Aberdeen's win over Motherwell on September 14 but the match against Celtic was left off the TV picks despite Jimmy Thelin's side enjoying a flawless run.

Since then, Aberdeen have maintained their winning run in the league with maximum points from their seven outings so far alongside Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers' side are in front on goal difference with an impressive 22 goals scored and just one conceded so far this term.

Aberdeen have a more modest nine goal difference but have set up a huge clash in Glasgow courtesy of their incredible run of results.

Due to missing out on a TV selection, the match will be unavailable to watch for those within the UK who are not lucky enough to have a ticket.

Those outwith the UK and Ireland will be able to watch the match through Celtic TV but otherwise there is a broadcast blackout due to the Saturday 3pm kick-off slot.
