Super Celts Crush Sorry Dons

Sun 10 Feb, 04:09 PM


Aiden McGeady was Celtic's chief tormentor against Aberdeen, running the desperate Dons ragged to help secure a stunning 5-1 victory in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League for Gordon Strachan's rampant side.

McGeady crossed for Shunsuke Nakamura's opener and added a second through a sumptuous low shot, before Scott McDonald converted a penalty just before the break after being fouled by Josh Walker.

A sensational turn from McGeady in the 47th minute then allowed McDonald to net with a close-range header and while Lee Miller's powerful strike pulled a goal back for Aberdeen, Celtic's wonderful afternoon was completed in style when new signing Barry Robson curled in a free-kick to score with his first touch for the Glasgow club.
