Celtic put this one to bed early on Wednesday night, tearing into Aberdeen from the off and putting the game well out of reach by half-time. By the break the home side already led 3-0, and there was never really a sense that Aberdeen could find a way back into it once Celtic Park had settled into the rhythm of the first 45 minutes. The second half was largely a formality, with Celtic content to see out a comfortable night's work in front of their own fans. A 3-0 scoreline flatters no one here - Aberdeen simply had no answer on the night. For Celtic, it's the kind of statement win that keeps the pressure on at the top of the Premiership table, delivered with real conviction rather than luck. Aberdeen, on the other hand, will need to go back to the drawing board quickly, because performances like this one won't do much for confidence as the season builds pace.
