Celtic maintained their nine-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership thanks to Saturday’s 1-0 win over Aberdeen.
The Hoops dominated the Dons throughout the game, but were unable to find the breakthrough until late on.
In the 87th minute, the returning Callum McGregor fired home from the edge of the box to give Celtic all three points.
The captain’s goal was the Bhoys’ 200th goal under Ange Postecoglou and the 31st Celtic attempt of the game.
McGregor provided a moment of class and composure in a match where the Hoops were largely wasteful.
While the Celtic captain stood out among his peers, there were other Bhoys players who emerged with credit.
‘A brilliant transformation’
Greg Taylor was one of those, clocking up some impressive stats and some good reviews from the media.
