It was another fine night in Glasgow for Celtic, returning to winning ways after a 2-1 defeat
00:07
to Hibs on Wednesday night by beating Aberdeen 5-1. Dijs and Maida got a double to take his
00:13
tally to the season for 25 goals. Jota, Callum McGregor and Yang all finished off the scoring
00:20
on a night where history at the back alluded them they had the chance to set a defensive
00:24
clean sheet record at home but for the first time since the last time they played the Dons
00:28
at home, Celtic finally conceded a goal at Parkhead, Shadyn Morris scoring in garbage
00:34
time really in the game in the final minutes just before Maida scored the second goal of
00:41
his night and it moved Celtic 16 points clear at the top of the league pending the Rangers
00:47
result against Kilmarnock on Wednesday night. A fine night for Brendan Rodgers' side who
00:53
felt aggrieved that they didn't take at least a point from the house game, much controversy
00:57
over the disallowed goal for Dijs and Maida at 2-1 in the game, Alistair Johnston's cross
01:03
into the box turned in by the Japanese international but it was deemed by VAR that the ball was
01:09
out of play. Celtic have taken this matter to the SFA but it's not going to really change
01:16
much in terms of the result, it will still stand as a defeat for Celtic on their record
01:21
so not much will come of that outside of maybe an apology from Willie Callum in the head
01:26
office at Hampden but they put that behind them against Aberdeen. They weren't great
01:31
in the first half, they were winning 3-0 at the break but that didn't really tell the
01:34
full story of the game, a few errors at the back, Kevin Nisbet really, really should have
01:39
rolled the ball into an empty net when poor communication at the back, Kasper Schmeichel
01:44
just passes straight into him, he hits it first time and it trundles past the post with
01:48
Cameron Carter-Vickers scrambling back to try and clear it. At that moment you kind
01:53
of thought Aberdeen looked the most likely to get the goal but dies in mind they're scoring
01:57
a very odd goal, a deflected cross, Aberdeen are just standing staring at it, he swings
02:03
a leg at it, puts it beyond Ross Duan, the former Celtic goalkeeper who didn't have a
02:06
great night albeit on his return to Parkhead. That made it 1-0 and then from there Celtic
02:12
never really looked back, Jota got in on the act and from there it was very, very comfortable.
02:18
Celtic could have really probably scored another 1 or 2 on the night as well, Armie
02:23
Engels a star performer in midfield but Maida again taking a lot of the headlines, Brendan
02:29
Rodgers saying after the game that he would expect interest in the forward given his season
02:34
to this point, he's had a tremendous 2025, a season overall and looks the overwhelming
02:40
favourite to be the player of the year in Scotland this year once Celtic eventually
02:43
are crowned as champions and you would imagine favourites for a treble as well. So that another
02:49
good night for Celtic as they march closer and one game closer to another Premiership title.
