Review
Played in a gale, Celtic were unlucky to go down and did not not play badly despite the result. Aberdeen and Ally MacLeod are fast becoming Celtic's bogey team.
Celtic went behind to a first half goal and then matched Aberdeen throughout only to go down 2-0 with a last minute toe-poke from Joe Harper. In between Celtic had pressured the Aberdeen goal without success and received a buffeting from the Dons throughout
