Celtic put this one to bed early. By the time the players trooped off for half-time at Celtic Park on Wednesday, the home side already had the game wrapped up, cruising into the break 3-0 up against an Aberdeen team that never got out of first gear. The second half was a formality after that, with Celtic content to see out the win rather than pile on further misery. For Aberdeen, it's a chastening night on the road and a result that will sting more than most. A 3-0 defeat away from home leaves little room for excuses, and the manner of it, having been picked apart before the interval, will be the bigger concern heading into the next round of fixtures. Celtic, meanwhile, move on with confidence high and a job done efficiently in front of their own fans.
