Celtic put this one to bed before Aberdeen had time to settle. By half-time the home side were 3-0 up at Celtic Park, and the visitors simply had no way back from there. Wednesday's Premiership clash never really got going as a contest once Celtic found their rhythm early on, and the second half became something of a formality, played out in front of a home crowd already sensing the points were safe. For Aberdeen, this is a result to shrug off quickly and move on from. Three goals down inside 45 minutes against a side like Celtic leaves little room for excuses, and there's not much to take from the trip back up the road. Celtic, meanwhile, will be pleased with how ruthlessly they took their chances when it mattered, and a 3-0 win at home sends a clear message to the rest of the division about where they see themselves this season.
