Review
Celtic's fine build up work counted for nothing and they were toothless up front.
Jim Leighton makes an outstanding save from a Paul McStay shot about 60 seconds before Aberdeen's goal
Bett's fine goal was a worthy winner and Celtic never looked like retrieving the game. McNeill promises more moves in the transfer nmarket.
