Review

Aberdeen recovered well from their 4-0 drubbing at Anfield in the European cup.

Alex Ferguson blooded young teenagers Andy Dornan and Neale Cooper and both played well.

Celtic huffed and puffed but couldn't break down a stubborn Dons rearguard and looked shaky in defence when Aberdeen broke at them.

This was Aberdeen's fourth successive win at Parkhead.
