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.
