Review
Celtic started the game at a cracking pace and were two up in four minutes. Twice Collins threatened the goal before Weir opened the scoring prodding home a Walsh header which Martin failed to hold. Two minutes later a blocked shot came back to McPail who put the ball away.
Aberdeen failed to get started and the first half was all Celtic pressure.
