Review
New Aberdeen boss Ally MacLeod inspires the Dons to a rare win at Parkhead.
With Edvaldsson playing as a sweeper behind MacDonald and McCluskey Celtic ceded control of midfield and Aberdeen dominated particularly in the first half.
The second half saw Edvaldsson restored to his more usual midfield berth. Despite attacking Aberdeen for most of the half they were unable to score.
