Review
Celtic just edge out Aberdeen in the game of the season so far. Each side was awarded a soft penalty but Aitken and Edvldsson's goals are fit to win any game.
Aitken scored a raging shot from 18 yards after Edvaldsson laid it off to him and then Edvaldsson got the winner with a magnificent shot on the turn after Craig had chested down McAdam's lob. Despite being up for transfer big Shuggie is turning it on.
