00:00:00The European Cup for Celtic.

00:00:12Celtic have won the double.

00:00:14It's absolutely incredible.

00:00:16That is sensational.

00:00:19It's a title for Celtic.

00:00:21It's unbelievable.

00:00:23Celtic have done it.

00:00:25They always seem to do it.

00:00:27It's official.

00:00:27You can see it before your eyes.

00:00:30Celtic, we know our history.

00:00:32We make history.

00:00:46A very good evening.

00:00:47Celtic are in the Granite City.

00:00:49But it's been the performances this season

00:00:51that have been rock solid.

00:00:53And it's put Brendan Rodgers,

00:00:55Callum McGregor, James Forrest

00:00:57and the rest of the squad on 88 points

00:00:59with just two games of the campaign left.

00:01:02It's the last journey on the road

00:01:05in the league for Celtic this season.

00:01:07The small matter of a game against St Mirren

00:01:09and a trophy lift on Saturday

00:01:11followed up by a cup final

00:01:13against Aberdeen the following weekend.

00:01:16But that is the setting

00:01:17in the northeast of Scotland tonight.

00:01:20What a beautiful sight that is.

00:01:23I mean, the weather in Scotland

00:01:24has been absolutely unbelievable

00:01:25over the last week to ten days

00:01:27and it's set to continue again.

00:01:30Unseasonably warm,

00:01:31very warm weather in Scotland.

00:01:33And there's a smile

00:01:34on every Celtic supporter's face.

00:01:37Not just because of that,

00:01:38but because of the fact Celtic are champions

00:01:40and hopefully go up

00:01:42into the 90-point,

00:01:4491-point region

00:01:45with a win tonight.

00:01:48Brendan Rodgers has made

00:01:50significant changes

00:01:51to the squad.

00:01:52If we take a look at the

00:01:53starting 11 for tonight,

00:01:55it is Sinisalo in goal,

00:01:58a back four of Ralston,

00:02:00Nowrotsky, Trusty and Schloop.

00:02:02Callum McGregor is the captain

00:02:04alongside Luke McCown

00:02:05and Paolo Bernardo

00:02:06in the middle of the park.

00:02:07James Forrest in one wing,

00:02:08Yang on the other

00:02:09and it's a first start

00:02:10for 21-year-old Johnny Kenny

00:02:12through the middle.

00:02:13It's a very strong bench for Celtic,

00:02:15but we knew the manager

00:02:16was going to make some changes.

00:02:17Simon Donnelly alongside me

00:02:19for this one.

00:02:20Simon, as I said,

00:02:20we knew the manager

00:02:21would make changes.

00:02:22What do you make

00:02:23of the ones he's made?

00:02:24Yeah, it's interesting.

00:02:26The front three,

00:02:27I don't think that three

00:02:28have paired up at all before.

00:02:31A trio, rather,

00:02:32but Forrest is still looking

00:02:33for that elusive goal this season.

00:02:35Kenny's first start,

00:02:36young lad's not had

00:02:37a lot of opportunities,

00:02:39so he'll be relishing that.

00:02:41And, you know,

00:02:42the likes of Bernardo

00:02:43back in the middle

00:02:44of the park as well.

00:02:45McCown's been a more than

00:02:47decent contributor this season.

00:02:49These guys,

00:02:50despite it maybe seeing,

00:02:52you know,

00:02:52the second string a little bit,

00:02:54they'll still have their eyes

00:02:55on the cup final.

00:02:56Absolutely.

00:02:56Good to see Alistair Johnson

00:02:57back in the squad tonight.

00:02:59Don't panic at the fact

00:03:00that Dyson Maeda

00:03:02is not in the squad.

00:03:03We knew that was going

00:03:04to be the case.

00:03:04The manager mentioned that

00:03:05at his pre-match media conference.

00:03:08He said he's just got

00:03:08a slight knock,

00:03:09so there was no point

00:03:10risking him

00:03:11for this one

00:03:12when there's some big games,

00:03:14particularly the cup final

00:03:16coming up.

00:03:17Let's hear from

00:03:18Celtic manager

00:03:18Brendan Rodgers

00:03:19just a short time ago.

00:03:21He spoke to our reporter

00:03:22Matthew Campbell.

00:03:24Brendan,

00:03:25we're here tonight

00:03:26with Audre facing Aberdeen.

00:03:27A few changes

00:03:28to the starting XI

00:03:29which you mentioned

00:03:30would be the case.

00:03:31What are you looking to see

00:03:32from the boys

00:03:33who are coming in tonight?

00:03:35Just what we expect,

00:03:36the collective responsibility

00:03:39to perform and play well.

00:03:40I think a lot of these players

00:03:41have contributed

00:03:42over the course of the season

00:03:43and obviously apart from

00:03:45Johnny Kenny,

00:03:46Johnny's getting the opportunity

00:03:47through his training

00:03:48and how hard he's worked

00:03:51to come in

00:03:52and show that he can perform.

00:03:54So I'm really looking forward

00:03:55to seeing Johnny play

00:03:56but overall the team,

00:03:57the team collectively

00:03:58and all the players

00:04:00that are playing

00:04:01have done very well for us

00:04:03over the course of the season.

00:04:04I was going to ask you

00:04:05about Johnny Kenny.

00:04:07It's his first start

00:04:07for Celtic tonight.

00:04:09It's an exciting part

00:04:10of his career as well

00:04:11and every time you see Johnny

00:04:13he's got energy

00:04:13and enthusiasm in the game.

00:04:15How impressed have you been

00:04:16with him

00:04:16through the time

00:04:17working with him?

00:04:17I've been very impressed.

00:04:18Obviously I was aware

00:04:21that he was a Celtic player

00:04:22and then watched clips

00:04:23of him at Shamrock

00:04:24and then obviously

00:04:24waiting for him

00:04:25to come in

00:04:26to see his work

00:04:27and I think since

00:04:27he's come in in January

00:04:28he's gradually got better

00:04:29and better, stronger.

00:04:31His movement's very, very good.

00:04:33He's a really, really good

00:04:33finisher off both feet.

00:04:35You can see he's got

00:04:35a natural instinct to score

00:04:36and I'm really impressed

00:04:39and I'm really impressed

00:04:39with his movement

00:04:40and his movement

00:04:40to run him behind

00:04:41because that's a key part

00:04:42of our game.

00:04:43We like the players

00:04:44to penetrate

00:04:44to get him behind

00:04:45and he wants to do that.

00:04:47Finally, Brendan,

00:04:48I've got to mention

00:04:48playing surface here tonight

00:04:50looks absolutely immaculate.

00:04:52It's conducive to the way

00:04:52that obviously we play

00:04:53so will that be the message

00:04:55to stamp our authority

00:04:56in the game

00:04:56and play the way

00:04:57we have been all

00:04:57through the season?

00:04:58Yeah, yeah.

00:04:58We want to start really fast

00:05:00get a good tempo

00:05:01in the game

00:05:01and like you say

00:05:03it's absolutely perfect.

00:05:05It's certainly better

00:05:06than what it was

00:05:06the last time we were here

00:05:07which was horrendous conditions

00:05:08so looking forward

00:05:09to the game

00:05:10great surface

00:05:12and as I said

00:05:13we want to do it justice.

00:05:15Alright, well, best out to you.

00:05:16Cheers, thank you.

00:05:16Thanks.

00:05:20Yeah, the manager there

00:05:21highlighting the conditions

00:05:23of course the last time

00:05:24up at Tordry

00:05:25it was blowing a gale, Simon

00:05:27the ball kept moving about

00:05:28it was an awful game

00:05:30this should be

00:05:31completely the opposite.

00:05:33Just a word about

00:05:34Johnny Kenny

00:05:34as a young Celtic supporter

00:05:36trying to break into the side

00:05:38you're the best kind of person

00:05:39to ask how he will be feeling

00:05:40because these opportunities

00:05:41don't come around often

00:05:43and when they do come around

00:05:44he'll know

00:05:45as you did

00:05:47that when you get opportunities

00:05:49in front of goal

00:05:49you've got to make them count.

00:05:51Yeah, you've got to take them.

00:05:52He's had limited time

00:05:54in this team

00:05:55this is his first start

00:05:56so I'd imagine

00:05:57he'll be feeling excited

00:05:58he's worked with the team

00:06:00since January

00:06:00as the manager talks about there

00:06:02so he'll be comfortable

00:06:03in the presence of this team

00:06:05you know, he'll feel he belongs

00:06:06but he's a striker

00:06:08he's getting his chance tonight

00:06:09he'll want to just have

00:06:10that one decent chance

00:06:12that he can go and break

00:06:12the deadlock

00:06:14through his career

00:06:14here at Celtic

00:06:15and that might lead to other things

00:06:17you know

00:06:17he's a guy that

00:06:19has had a lot of praise

00:06:20at Shamrock

00:06:21he's come back into this team

00:06:22he's found it difficult

00:06:23because suddenly

00:06:25you've got Kyogo

00:06:26he leaves the club

00:06:27you've got Ida

00:06:28you've got Maeda

00:06:29that's played there

00:06:30strong part of the Celtic team

00:06:32as well

00:06:32and he's had to be patient

00:06:34but a great opportunity tonight

00:06:36the setting is perfect

00:06:37at Putoje

00:06:38but it was nice to see him

00:06:39get on the score sheet

00:06:40yeah, but the opportunity is there

00:06:41you know, Kyogo left the club

00:06:43Maeda

00:06:43isn't an out-and-out striker

00:06:44you know, the manager likes to play him

00:06:46on the wing as well

00:06:47so there is a real opportunity

00:06:48for Johnny

00:06:49listen, at 21

00:06:50indeed 21

00:06:52I mean

00:06:53it's a great opportunity

00:06:55for him to come into this team

00:06:56and take it with the scruff of the neck

00:06:58get a goal tonight

00:06:59get a couple of goals

00:07:00the manager sits up

00:07:01and takes more notice again

00:07:02he's very impressed

00:07:03with his work and training

00:07:04as we heard there

00:07:05his movement

00:07:06so it's a real opportunity

00:07:08for the lad

00:07:09and I hope he takes it

00:07:09let's remind ourselves

00:07:11how Celtic prepared

00:07:12for this one

00:07:13Hibs with the visitors

00:07:14to Celtic Park

00:07:15on Saturday

00:07:16almost at the corner

00:07:21flag

00:07:21curls it into the box

00:07:22missed by Boyle

00:07:24volleyed by Campbell

00:07:26again

00:07:26Boyle

00:07:26and this time

00:07:27he gets the break

00:07:28of the ball

00:07:29and he side-foots it

00:07:29beyond

00:07:30Kasper Schmeichel

00:07:32it was a mishap

00:07:33from Josh Campbell

00:07:33but the break of the ball

00:07:34fell to the

00:07:35the Bernian captain

00:07:37and he's side-footed

00:07:39beyond

00:07:39the Celtic goalkeeper

00:07:4025 minutes on the clock

00:07:42and it's Celtic now

00:07:43the Bernian won

00:07:44ball curled forward

00:07:48by Ralston

00:07:49Bashiri blocks it

00:07:50there's a chance for Kuhn

00:07:51it must be a goal

00:07:53well Bashiri

00:07:55too busy trying to block

00:07:56Adam Eder

00:07:57spun beyond him

00:07:59Nicholas Kuhn

00:08:02dances past the goalkeeper

00:08:03and slots in

00:08:04his 21st goal of the season

00:08:06and with four minutes

00:08:07in the first half

00:08:08remaining Celtic

00:08:09deserves to look back

00:08:10for level terms

00:08:11again it was good

00:08:12runs from Eder

00:08:13that could nearly

00:08:14get back onside

00:08:15so get back in here

00:08:17and make the run

00:08:19forward again

00:08:20as you say

00:08:22Rashidi's more concerned

00:08:23but Eder

00:08:23couldn't extend

00:08:24and I thought for one second

00:08:26he was going around

00:08:27by the post

00:08:27but thankfully Celtic

00:08:29he catches it

00:08:30and sluts into the net

00:08:30Nicholas Kuhn

00:08:33I think Nicholas was held back

00:08:49a bit there

00:08:50the ball clipped into the box

00:08:51looking for Adam Eder

00:08:51Eder scored

00:08:53the flag stays down

00:08:55the ball's in the back of the net

00:08:57guys were scored

00:08:59he salutes the crowd

00:09:01no doubt it'll be checked

00:09:03but at the moment Celtic leads

00:09:04by two goals to one

00:09:05yeah and he takes it really well

00:09:07this time he shows no composure

00:09:09lets the ball drop

00:09:10knows where the ball is

00:09:12and it's a clean strike

00:09:14well how quickly can things change

00:09:20at the other end

00:09:21Martin Boyle almost fashioned a chance

00:09:23but then

00:09:24moments later

00:09:26Celtic have the ball

00:09:27in the back of the net

00:09:28well he's miles onside

00:09:30in the end

00:09:32a great touch

00:09:33and a great finish

00:09:34yeah

00:09:35it's a really good

00:09:36he's been making runs

00:09:37at that

00:09:38all half

00:09:39a couple of them

00:09:40caught offside

00:09:41but that one's timed perfectly

00:09:42a nice little clip

00:09:43it just lets it

00:09:44bounce there

00:09:45the timing of the shot

00:09:46as well

00:09:46perfect

00:09:47it's a good one

00:11:31unlike Celtic

00:11:33they haven't made

00:11:33too many changes

00:11:34Dimitar Mitov

00:11:36then they've got

00:11:36Jensen

00:11:47the team

00:11:48that plays Celtic

00:11:50in the Scottish Cup

00:11:51final at

00:11:52Hampden

00:11:52so

00:11:54the Aberdeen

00:11:57manager

00:11:57clearly has

00:11:59that game

00:11:59in his sights

00:12:00as preparation

00:12:01Brendan Rodgers

00:12:02deciding

00:12:03to make some changes

00:12:04and rest a few players

00:12:05for Celtic

00:12:07Celtic have a good record

00:12:08against Aberdeen

00:12:08particularly at

00:12:09Pataudry

00:12:10in fact Celtic

00:12:10are unbeaten

00:12:11in the last

00:12:1229 meetings

00:12:13you have to go back

00:12:14to trophy day

00:12:15seven years ago

00:12:17for the last time

00:12:18that Aberdeen

00:12:19beat Celtic

00:12:20in any competition

00:12:21they have

00:12:22since then

00:12:23drawn six

00:12:24and lost

00:12:2423 times

00:12:26against the Hoops

00:12:27and even at home

00:12:28unbeaten Celtic

00:12:30are in the last

00:12:3116 visits

00:12:32to Pataudry

00:12:33we really are

00:12:34and I want to touch

00:12:35root here Simon

00:12:35I mean Aberdeen's

00:12:36kind of bogey team

00:12:37where they've scored

00:12:38against every team

00:12:39at Pataudry

00:12:39this season

00:12:40apart from Celtic

00:12:41it always feels

00:12:42on paper

00:12:43and maybe that's

00:12:44just the kind of

00:12:44generation that we

00:12:45grew up in

00:12:46that Aberdeen

00:12:47Celtic games

00:12:48are always going

00:12:48to be really

00:12:49tight encounters

00:12:50but when you look

00:12:51at the record

00:12:52they've been anything

00:12:53but in recent years

00:12:54there's remarkable

00:12:55numbers and statistics

00:12:56there I do remember

00:12:57in recent times

00:12:58some late goals

00:12:59Callum McGregor's

00:13:00an important goal

00:13:01just after he'd been

00:13:02out through injury

00:13:03and yeah you're right

00:13:05I mean I remember

00:13:05when I went

00:13:07with Celtic

00:13:07it was difficult

00:13:08Pataudry

00:13:09and I don't suggest

00:13:10it's an easy game

00:13:10I just think you have

00:13:11to give credit

00:13:11to Celtic

00:13:12they've been first class

00:13:13in recent times

00:13:15against Aberdeen

00:13:16clinical

00:13:17scoring a lot of goals

00:13:18particularly at home

00:13:19and I think

00:13:21this evening

00:13:22it's another opportunity

00:13:23for eight guys

00:13:24to come in

00:13:25and keep that run going

00:13:26absolutely

00:13:29that is the aim

00:13:31for Celtic

00:13:33tonight

00:13:34and as Simon says

00:13:35some individuals

00:13:36out there

00:13:37that will be looking

00:13:37to play their way

00:13:38into the thoughts

00:13:39of Brendan Rodgers

00:13:40for the cup final

00:13:42the likes of

00:13:44Johnny Kenny

00:13:45Yang

00:13:46James Forrest

00:13:47Luke McCown

00:13:48Paolo Bernardo

00:13:49as well

00:13:50Mike Navrotsky

00:13:51Jeffrey Schlup

00:13:52Anthony Ralston

00:13:53Austin Trusty

00:13:54all these players

00:13:55potentially wouldn't be

00:13:57starters

00:13:57if every single

00:13:58Celtic player

00:13:59was fit

00:13:59but many of them

00:14:02tend to get a run out

00:14:03in a game

00:14:03anyway

00:14:04so

00:14:05the players break

00:14:06and we're getting ready

00:14:07for kick-off here

00:14:09at Petodre

00:14:10it's the last away game

00:14:11of the season

00:14:12for Celtic

00:14:13and that's really the only stat

00:14:14that doesn't work in our favour

00:14:15Simon

00:14:16because Celtic have only won

00:14:17their final away game

00:14:18once out of the last

00:14:20six seasons

00:14:20believe it or not

00:14:21and I think conversely

00:14:26Aberdeen have won

00:14:27four of the last

00:14:28six

00:14:28final home games

00:14:30of the season

00:14:31so that start works

00:14:32in Aberdeen's favour

00:14:32but not many others do

00:14:34as Graeme Shinney

00:14:36checks hands

00:14:38with Celtic captain

00:14:40Callum McGregor

00:14:41a little pat in the back

00:14:42there for Johnny Kenny

00:14:43from Jeff Schlup

00:14:44as Callum McGregor

00:14:45gets ready to take

00:14:46the Celtic huddle

00:14:47Celtic will wear

00:14:48black armbands

00:14:49as a sign of respect

00:14:52for former chairman

00:14:52Jack McGinn

00:14:53who sadly

00:14:54passed away

00:14:55at the age

00:14:55of 92

00:14:57Jimmy Teeland

00:15:01and Brendan Rodgers

00:15:02exchange handshakes

00:15:03Stephen McClain

00:15:05who's the referee

00:15:06for this one

00:15:07it's a very bright

00:15:11low

00:15:11summer sun

00:15:13you can see

00:15:16the long shadows

00:15:17on the pitch

00:15:18in the Celtic half

00:15:18beautiful mate

00:15:19for a game of football

00:15:20as I said

00:15:23it's been

00:15:23extremely warm weather

00:15:25the last few days

00:15:26across the whole

00:15:27of Scotland

00:15:28as they continue

00:15:29so

00:15:30great conditions

00:15:32the pitch will have

00:15:32been watered

00:15:33plenty

00:15:33and as the manager

00:15:35said before the game

00:15:35great conditions

00:15:37great surface

00:15:38should make

00:15:39for a great game

00:15:40of football

00:15:40and the game

00:15:42is up and running

00:15:43Celtic shooting

00:15:44from right to left

00:15:45as we look at it

00:15:47for those listening

00:15:49inside the UK

00:15:50and Ireland

00:15:51you've got the

00:15:51opportunity of course

00:15:52of getting yourself

00:15:53£3,000 in the

00:15:54paradise windfall

00:15:55via the Celtic

00:15:56pools app

00:15:57that's where you can

00:15:58get yourself a ticket

00:15:59for £2

00:15:59only if you're

00:16:00inside the UK

00:16:01and Ireland

00:16:02you have for about

00:16:03the next 20 minutes

00:16:04or so to get yourself

00:16:05into that

00:16:07paradise windfall

00:16:09competition

00:16:10Aberdeen

00:16:18come into this one

00:16:18having lost

00:16:19the last two games

00:16:20of course

00:16:20a very disappointing

00:16:214-0 defeat

00:16:23against Rangers

00:16:24and a 1-0 defeat

00:16:25to

00:16:25St Mirren

00:16:26but

00:16:26they're very much

00:16:28playing for points

00:16:28sitting in third place

00:16:29but

00:16:30if the likes of

00:16:31Hebs breathing

00:16:32down their neck

00:16:33they will want

00:16:33to keep that

00:16:34European spot

00:16:35theirs

00:16:35so

00:16:37still plenty

00:16:38in Aberdeen's

00:16:39league season

00:16:40to play for

00:16:41as Anthony Ralston

00:16:43just ushers that

00:16:44one back to

00:16:44Viljami Sinisalo

00:16:45who's back in

00:16:46between the sticks

00:16:47for Celtic

00:16:48tonight

00:16:48after the return

00:16:49of Kasper Schmeichel

00:16:50no suggestion

00:16:52that Kasper Schmeichel

00:16:53has

00:16:53suffered any

00:16:54kind of relapse

00:16:55or anything

00:16:56I think it's just

00:16:56a case of

00:16:57getting him back

00:16:58in the team

00:16:58and then giving him

00:16:59a little bit

00:17:00of a respite

00:17:01tonight

00:17:01ball played

00:17:06inside there

00:17:07a little dink

00:17:08over the top

00:17:09looking for

00:17:10the runner

00:17:12he's taking

00:17:22yellow card

00:17:30one for

00:17:31Yang early

00:17:32on in the

00:17:34but it's a

00:17:35deserved yellow

00:17:35card

00:17:36yeah Yang's pace

00:17:39means he's

00:17:40quite often

00:17:43pretty hefty

00:20:29the header

00:20:29there

00:20:30Yang

00:20:31I think

00:20:32the cross

00:20:32from Ralston

00:20:33was just

00:20:33a bit

00:22:03the Celtic

00:22:03defenders in

00:22:04this first

00:22:05half

00:22:05I'm not sure

00:22:06the Aberdeen

00:22:07defenders will

00:22:07have to deal

00:22:08with it

00:22:08in the second

00:22:08half

00:22:09because the

00:22:09sun might

00:22:09be out of

00:22:09sight by

00:22:10then

00:22:10there's

00:22:11an issue

00:22:45trustee

00:22:45inside

00:22:47to

00:22:48Sinisalo

00:22:49how the role

00:22:51of a goalkeeper

00:22:51has changed

00:22:52over the years

00:22:53can you imagine

00:22:53back to your

00:22:54time with

00:22:54Jonathan Gould

00:22:55out there

00:22:56getting involved

00:22:56in the play

00:22:57or Paki Bonner

00:22:58no absolutely

00:22:59not

00:22:59it's changed

00:23:02so much

00:23:03I'm still not

00:23:05entirely sure

00:23:06if I'm convinced

00:23:07yet

00:23:07that

00:23:07he hope

00:23:08the goalkeeper

00:23:09has definitely

00:23:09touched the ball

00:23:10with her feet

00:23:10more than

00:23:11they do

00:23:11with her hands

00:25:00him getting

00:25:00a touch

00:25:00of the ball

00:25:00so far

00:25:01so

00:25:01Celtic

00:25:02using

00:25:02no wit

00:25:03but

00:25:03he's not

00:25:04managed to

00:25:04carve out

00:25:04any opportunities

00:25:05for Johnny

00:25:06Kenny

00:25:06making his

00:25:06first start

00:25:07for Celtic

00:25:07at the age

00:25:08of 21

00:25:08Celtic

00:25:10a little bit

00:25:30of confusion

00:25:30in the middle

00:25:30of the park

00:25:31and they've

00:25:32given that one

00:25:32away to

00:25:32Jensen

00:25:33presents a

00:25:34bit of a

00:25:34half chance

00:25:35for Aberdeen

00:25:35as they come

00:25:36down the

00:25:36left-hand

00:25:36side

00:25:37but the

00:25:37ball in

00:25:37the middle

00:25:38was well

00:25:39dealt with

00:25:40backtracking

00:25:40Celtic

00:25:41defenders

00:25:44the line

00:25:45there

00:25:45of the

00:25:45midfield

00:25:45I thought

00:25:46it was

00:25:46decent play

00:25:46but Ralston

00:25:47just decided

00:25:48to come

00:25:50perfect

00:25:51was picked

00:28:31directly at the

00:29:01behind

00:29:02by Nostok

00:29:03for a Celtic

00:29:04corner

00:29:04that was

00:29:05intelligent

00:29:06play

00:29:06from

00:29:06Yang

00:29:07always with

00:29:09a real

00:29:09intent

00:29:10to go

00:29:10forward

00:29:11started

00:29:12lively

00:29:12a booking

00:29:15after a couple

00:29:16of minutes

00:29:16and that was

00:29:16good play

00:29:17sent it

00:29:18to the

00:29:19byline

00:29:19again

00:29:19the ball

00:29:20was up

00:29:20in the air

00:29:20caught

00:29:21by Mitoff

00:29:21before it

00:29:22went out

00:29:22it's

00:29:26players like

00:29:27Yang

00:29:27can turn

00:29:28the game

00:29:28but that's

00:29:29a long

00:29:29pass

00:29:30and well

00:29:30read

00:29:31by

00:29:31Phil

00:29:32Sinisalo

00:29:33came about

00:29:3440 yards

00:29:35out of his

00:29:35goal

00:29:35to head

00:29:36that one

00:29:36out

00:29:36for a

00:29:37throw in

00:29:39before

00:29:39Papa

00:29:40Gay

00:29:40could get

00:29:41to that

00:29:41I think

00:29:43there's just

00:29:43been a little

00:29:44collision

00:29:44in doing so

00:29:45intent

00:29:47getting the

00:29:47ball

00:29:47the legs

00:29:49clash

00:29:50that's

00:29:51brave

00:29:51goalkeeping

00:29:52from Sinisalo

00:29:53because Papa

00:29:53Gay

00:29:54is probably

00:29:54one of the

00:29:54biggest guys

00:29:55on the

00:29:55pitch

00:29:55there

00:29:56bearing

00:29:56down

00:29:57on you

00:29:57there's

00:29:57that chance

00:29:58again

00:29:58from

00:29:58Bernardo

00:29:59I think

00:29:59he was

00:29:59concentrating

00:30:01more

00:30:01and getting

00:30:01the direction

00:30:02right

00:30:02than getting

00:30:03the power

00:30:03in the shot

00:30:04would I

00:30:04be right

00:30:04in saying

00:30:04that

00:30:04I like

00:30:08to pick

00:30:08out

00:30:09he gets

00:30:10the head

00:30:10up

00:30:10and cuts

00:30:11it

00:39:25Johnny

00:39:26Kenny

00:39:26just

00:39:26showed

00:39:33for

00:39:33a

00:39:33Celtic

00:39:33corner

00:39:34I think

00:39:35is it

00:39:35not too

00:39:36sure

00:39:36these are the

00:39:37little

00:39:37opportunities

00:39:38it makes

00:39:39movement

00:39:39there

00:39:39he's

00:39:40onside

00:39:40I think

00:39:42the touch

00:39:43comes back

00:39:44in on

00:39:44his right

00:39:44it gives

00:39:45the defender

00:39:45the chance

00:39:46if he backs

00:39:47himself on

00:39:47his left

00:39:48there

00:39:48there's

00:39:48no way

00:39:49the defender

00:39:50is getting

00:39:50back

00:39:50Celtic

00:39:52didn't get

00:39:53the corner

00:39:53I think

00:39:54it maybe

00:39:54just came

00:39:54back off

00:39:55Kenny

00:39:55if he

00:39:56doesn't

00:39:57opt to

00:39:57go back

00:39:58in

00:39:58but

00:39:58it was

00:39:58a heavy

00:39:59touch

00:40:00he gets

00:40:01a shot

00:40:01away

00:40:01if he

00:40:01takes it

00:40:02on his

00:40:02left hand

00:40:02side

00:40:03Celtic

00:42:20next time

00:42:22next time

00:42:23next time

00:42:24next time

00:42:24Novrotski picks out Forrest, gives it back to the Polish defender, Sinisalo.

00:42:43Trusty, all comes off from this bit.

00:42:59Throw to Celtic.

00:43:01He wants to win the ball back, but Morris gives it straight to Schlup,

00:43:12trying to get an outside of the foot pass to Yang,

00:43:16straight into the body of Tala Versa.

00:43:20Something now have it with Anthony Ralston.

00:43:23Forrest now on the right, loves to run at defenders,

00:43:26and he's doing it here against Shinny.

00:43:28Decent cross in and a good header that time from Yang,

00:43:31it was kept down lower but straight into the goalkeeper's arms,

00:43:36but once again James Forrest causing all sorts of problems down the right-hand side.

00:43:39Yeah, real good play from James again, just one thought in his mind,

00:43:42to get by and get a cross in.

00:43:44Yang, as good wide players do, working himself between the sticks there.

00:43:48We've seen him score, I think, ahead against Aberdeen before.

00:43:51Couldn't direct that one by the keeper.

00:43:58Are we close to an opener of Pataudry?

00:44:08Aberdeen trying to come out of defence, but it's great positioning from Callum McGregor.

00:44:14Now Johnny Kenny, what can he do? Try to curl it.

00:44:17Ball's broken the way of James Forrest onto his left foot,

00:44:20and he just drags his shot past the post.

00:44:24That was the chance. That was the chance for James.

00:44:28Great reading of the play from McGregor.

00:44:30He feeds Kenny in here.

00:44:32He takes the shot and I think maybe just slide it inside.

00:44:35Easier said than done but it falls.

00:44:37Lovely for James.

00:44:38He just snatches at it, which is not like him.

00:44:44Yeah, brings it down with his right, shoots with the left,

00:44:47but he ends up being a bit of a mishit for James.

00:44:54He just wants to get this goal so that people can stop talking about it.

00:44:58Probably, yeah.

00:44:59And that's maybe just an anxiousness near the shot.

00:45:01Yeah.

00:45:02But when it fell to him, I backed him 100%.

00:45:04I thought he was going to find the net.

00:45:09Perhaps had he not had that stat hanging over his head,

00:45:11he would just have been cooler and...

00:45:13Yeah, he wouldn't have thought twice.

00:45:14Yeah, exactly.

00:45:15That's why he's so keen to just get the goal,

00:45:19so he can just concentrate on his overall play.

00:45:22Done again.

00:45:23Here he is again, down the right-hand side.

00:45:25He's got options in the middle,

00:45:26but there's too many Aberdeen players to get past

00:45:29and it comes off Mats Noster and out for a Celtic corner

00:45:32as we approach the 30-minute mark.

00:45:34In the game at Pataudry, still Aberdeen 0, Celtic 0,

00:45:38but Celtic showing more signs of being a goal threat.

00:45:49Now it's a corner that will be swung in from the right,

00:45:52by the left foot of Luke McCowan.

00:45:5520 of Celtic height in there as it comes in from the scot,

00:46:00the header down from Mike Navrotsky of all people,

00:46:04and he gets his first goal of the season,

00:46:07and the opener for Celtic.

00:46:09Celtic have scored direct from a corner kick,

00:46:11in it came from McCowan,

00:46:12a great downward header from Mike Navrotsky,

00:46:15and in the 31st minute it is Aberdeen 0, Celtic 1.

00:46:19Yeah, it's a real simple game at times,

00:46:22good delivery from Luke McCowan.

00:46:24He just stands his ground and waits for it to arrive,

00:46:27and directs the header past the keeper.

00:46:32Good delivery, and it just holds his ground.

00:46:35Timing of the jump, holds his man off.

00:46:38Yeah, it does really well to hold off Keskinen.

00:46:43Kevin Nisbet in there as well, close to Navrotsky,

00:46:47but he kept his eye on the ball,

00:46:49directed the header, downward as well,

00:46:52giving the goalkeeper no chance.

00:46:54And he'll be absolutely delighted at not just getting a start,

00:46:57but getting his first goal of the season as well.

00:47:00And it's come at a great time.

00:47:05It's a perfect time, Celtic have been bright in the game,

00:47:08with their passing and movement.

00:47:10They deserve to be in the lead now.

00:47:13There's another opportunity for Yang.

00:47:15Yang in space down the left-hand side,

00:47:17plenty of support, Yang cuts in on to his right.

00:47:20With McCowan, feeds it to Forrest,

00:47:24supported well by Anthony Ralston,

00:47:26low ball into the box, kicked away.

00:47:28Danger averted for now.

00:47:32Celtic, as they so often do when they get their noses in front,

00:47:36they look to get a quick second,

00:47:39and try and kill the game.

00:47:42There was some confusion in the opposing ranks.

00:47:46Here's MacGregor, Bernardo, McCowan does well,

00:47:51Ralston, lovely ball, oh, it was almost an own goal there,

00:47:54as Graeme Shinney almost directed it past Mitoff.

00:47:57Another dangerous ball in there, and as you say, I think it was Shinney.

00:48:03Towards his own goalkeeper.

00:48:05McCowan.

00:48:15Bernardo leaves that one for Yang, gives it to the Portuguese.

00:48:17Certainly in terms of players that are looking to make things happen,

00:48:21it seems to be on the left-hand side.

00:48:23Whenever Yang gets it on the right-hand side,

00:48:25whenever McCowan and Forrest get it,

00:48:27things seem to happen offensively for Celtic.

00:48:29It's a good wide play.

00:48:31Ralston as well, here he is.

00:48:33That's Forrest, here's Ralston.

00:48:35Good cross from Anthony Ralston.

00:48:37That one was crying out to be attacked.

00:48:41Yang has attacked a couple, just want them in there,

00:48:43a bit closer to the defender.

00:48:45Defender.

00:49:00The manager will be certainly happy with Celtic's pace of play

00:49:04in the last 10-15 minutes.

00:49:08Certainly be much more effective.

00:49:12Coming forward here's Forrest.

00:49:18Referee's blown for something.

00:49:22Is there something in the crowd?

00:49:34Are they looking for some help?

00:49:36Yeah, maybe.

00:49:37Yeah, the whole medical team are...

00:49:40In fact, both teams' medical staff are heading into the stands.

00:49:47It was well spotted there by the referee,

00:49:49it was obviously brought to his attention,

00:49:50they quickly stopped the game.

00:49:52Someone in the crowd must need medical attention.

00:49:56As Brendan Rodgers takes the opportunity

00:49:58to have a chat with Anthony Ralston.

00:50:00One thing about Anthony Ralston, Simon,

00:50:01I often find that his crossing ability

00:50:04is often underplayed or overlooked, yeah.

00:50:07Yeah, he puts in a great delivery.

00:50:09He really does.

00:50:10He's popped up with his fair share of assists as well,

00:50:13and pops in with the odd goal or two.

00:50:15But you're right, he probably does get overlooked.

00:50:17Yeah, quite often on the underlap or the overlap,

00:50:21the timing of his runs.

00:50:23What I notice about Andy, he always puts his self forward,

00:50:26the option there.

00:50:27The wide man maybe sometimes doesn't use him,

00:50:29uses him as a decoy as James has done a couple of times tonight,

00:50:32but he always offers himself on the overlap.

00:50:34Yep, 100% commitment for the cause.

00:50:37That's what you get from Anthony Ralston.

00:50:39And between he and Alistair Johnson, Celtic are well served.

00:50:46Down that right-hand side.

00:50:48So both managers taking this as a bit of a time-out,

00:50:55as both medical teams deal with the situation in the crowd.

00:51:05We do hope that whoever is needing attention gets the attention that they need in time,

00:51:11and is OK.

00:51:16The referee Stevie McLean absolutely doing the right thing.

00:51:20Alerting the medical staff of the need for their services.

00:51:27Certainly manager Brendan Rodgers seemed to be relatively happy there,

00:51:32just underlining a few things, Jimmy Tillene and the Aberdeen players.

00:51:37It seems more of a...what was the word I'm looking for here?

00:51:44There's certainly a lot of differing opinions going on there,

00:51:46they need to change things, don't they?

00:51:48Well, I think after the 35-month Celtic have been in control of most of the game.

00:51:52Aberdeen have had a couple of ventures up front,

00:51:55as I say they've kept a decent shape, tried to frustrate Celtic,

00:51:58but when they have had the occasional mistake then they've ventured forward,

00:52:03but it's been few and far between for a home team.

00:52:05Celtic have had a lot of the play, a lot of control,

00:52:07and I think he'll be much happier of the two managers.

00:52:16Celtic one goal up thanks to a head-up from Mike Nowrotsky.

00:52:21From a Luke McCown corner, both players brought into the starting 11th

00:52:27of this game by Brendan Rodgers.

00:52:46Yeah, I'm hearing confirmation that there is a medical emergency in the crowd.

00:52:51So it's only right that the medical experts that are there are called to attend.

00:53:00It's still being dealt with, so this break-in play will continue for as long as necessary.

00:53:11That is the right thing to do, but the players will need to keep themselves warm out there,

00:53:15keep themselves limbered up.

00:53:22Yeah, any sort of delay is not ideal for the players,

00:53:24but obviously the importance is with the spectator at this time.

00:53:29Averdine official there just speaking to the referee,

00:53:44giving an update on the situation.

00:53:47Brendan Rodgers calling across Callum McGregor as well.

00:53:50I wonder if there's a decision to be made here.

00:53:59It's more tactical than anything, I think.

00:54:09Oh, is he maybe talking to him about the potential of taking the players in?

00:54:12I'm not sure, it just depends on the time necessary with the spectator on the other side.

00:54:24Well, something we don't often see.

00:54:38There's not much the referee can do at the moment.

00:54:41I suppose the question might be, well, if the supporter is being attended to in the stands,

00:54:56why can't the game continue?

00:54:58But, you know, there is a situation that it's both teams' medical staff that are there.

00:55:02There's a round of applause now, hopefully something's happened positive.

00:55:07Something seems to have happened,

00:55:09which means that we could potentially get the game back up and running,

00:55:12so we hope that whoever needed medical attention is...

00:55:17..is back recovered.

00:55:18And I'm certainly sure that, certainly from Celtic's perspective,

00:55:32when Tim Williamson and his staff went over there,

00:55:35they're in the best of care.

00:55:40He's looked after the Celtic players' medical wellbeing for a long time,

00:55:46as Tim Williamson vastly experienced in his field.

00:55:52And we can see there that the supporter has been attended to

00:55:57and is finally on a stretch-up and being taken to perhaps the hospital.

00:56:08That means that the play can now continue,

00:56:10there will be a number of minutes added, of course, at the end of the first half.

00:56:16Probably at least five or six, they would think.

00:56:20Yeah, I would think so, at least.

00:56:22So Celtic have a throw on the far side, remember, 1-0 to Celtic,

00:56:25Mike Navrotsky's head up.

00:56:27Anthony Ralston looking for somewhere to throw the ball.

00:56:32Headed inside by Luke McCown, but cleared upfield by Aberdeen.

00:56:35High up and under, brought down and cleared upfield by Navrotsky.

00:56:39Forward by Nostert.

00:56:43Aberdeen finally get control of the ball.

00:56:46Can they do something with it, though?

00:56:48Down this left-hand side is Keskinen.

00:56:52He's tracked by Ralston.

00:56:55Now Gay and the head up, and they can do something with it.

00:56:58Kevin Nisbet nods the head up,

00:57:02past Sinisalo, into the corner of the net.

00:57:05And just a moment after the restart,

00:57:09Aberdeen find themselves level.

00:57:11Yeah, nothing really.

00:57:16Looking at it from a defensive perspective,

00:57:20but they work it down this left-hand side.

00:57:22I think it falls to Papa Gay in the middle.

00:57:27Yeah.

00:57:28This bit just finds himself between Trusty and Schlupp,

00:57:33manages to get the header away.

00:57:35Just almost stands his ground.

00:57:37Yeah, gets the header away, unchallenged.

00:57:44A little flick volley there from Gay,

00:57:48right onto the head of Nisbet.

00:57:53Couldn't generate any power on it,

00:57:55so the direction had to be accurate to get past Sinisalo,

00:57:59and it was from Nisbet.

00:58:01And now Celtic have given away on the edge of the area,

00:58:04and it's a good defensive interception there from Geoff Schlupp

00:58:08before Morris could get the shot away.

00:58:10Keskinen still has it, though.

00:58:13And it comes off Anthony Ralston,

00:58:14and behind for an Aberdeen corner.

00:58:16Yeah, just a little bit untidy from Celtic there.

00:58:20A heavy touch from Navrotsky.

00:58:23Gets to the ball.

00:58:25Nisbet took a sore one there as he tried to win the ball back from Navrotsky,

00:58:29took one on the top of the boot.

00:58:33Claiming Navrotsky went in with the studs,

00:58:35it was completely not the case.

00:58:37They won the ball.

00:58:38It has caught him in the after.

00:58:40Yeah, I think there was more Nisbet kicking Navrotsky's foot,

00:58:42but it's an Aberdeen corner more concerningly,

00:58:44letting Clarkson across there to swing this one in with his right foot.

00:58:48A lot of pushing and shoving going on in the box

00:58:53that Stephen McLean needs to keep his eye on.

00:58:55In comes the curler and punched away by Senesalo, edge of the area.

00:58:59High shot there from Palo Versa, volleyed well over the bar.

00:59:03Celtic will have a goal kick.

00:59:07Celtic just needs to try and find that rhythm again,

00:59:09it's a strange game at times, football, so much control.

00:59:13All of a sudden Aberdeen get an equaliser.

00:59:15Off it comes out a little bit untidy.

00:59:18Well, it kind of reminds me in the opposite way of the game recently

00:59:21at Tanadice when Celtic wrapped up the league.

00:59:23There was that stoppage in the first half

00:59:25with the tangerines going on the pitch, and it seems to...

00:59:27Yeah, that seems to snap Celtic out of the gear.

00:59:29And it's done the same for Aberdeen here,

00:59:30as McGregor plays one over the top,

00:59:32looking for the run of McCown,

00:59:34but it's well dealt with by the Aberdeen defence,

00:59:37but Yang putting some pressure here on Jensen,

00:59:40who manages to clear the ball upfield,

00:59:42but only as far as Celtic captain Callum McGregor.

00:59:45McCown, first time to Schlupp, just keeps that in play.

00:59:49Jeff Schlupp inside to Bernardo.

00:59:51Kenny with his back to goal under just a bit too much pressure,

00:59:56but Ralston does well to win it back for Celtic.

00:59:58Ball breaks back to Navrotsky.

01:00:00Nice pass forward from Celtic's goalscorer to Schlupp.

01:00:02Yang now loves to cut in from this left-hand side,

01:00:05lays that one forward to Schlupp, across comes the low ball,

01:00:08looking for Johnny Kenny, and that's well intercepted.

01:00:12Alfie Doddington behind for another Celtic corner.

01:00:15Good play between Yang and Schlupp,

01:00:17in the under lap this time.

01:00:19Corner to be taken by Paulo Bernardo on the left.

01:00:22Celtic get the big men up.

01:00:24Trusty's in there, Navrotsky of course, we know what he can do.

01:00:27And the header there, the flicked header at the near post from Trusty,

01:00:31was cleared off the line.

01:00:37I think it was Jensen there on the line to hit that one.

01:00:40Celtic's other centre half was almost getting on the end of that one.

01:00:44Another corner comes in from Bernardo.

01:00:46Same position, looking for Trusty again,

01:00:49it's headed out for a Celtic throw,

01:00:51quickly taken by Bernardo, back to Yang.

01:00:54And he was under pressure there, trying to give it back to Bernardo, but...

01:00:58in the end, just kicks it out for the Aberdeen throw.

01:01:02Since that little break that's been an eventual few minutes,

01:01:07both ends, that one was net-bound and cleared on the line.

01:01:17Shinny tried to turn Anthony Ralston, who did really well

01:01:20against the experienced Aberdeen captain,

01:01:22the ball's back with Sinisalo.

01:01:24This game's got a little bit of an edge to it now

01:01:26that Aberdeen have got themselves back into it.

01:01:29The home supporters getting behind her side,

01:01:31in comes the swinging cross there from Jensen,

01:01:35it was a good one, he gets the thumbs up from Nisbet,

01:01:37because it was on target for his head,

01:01:39but Nawrotski was equal to it.

01:01:41It's good defending, because it is a dangerous ball.

01:01:44Early swings it away from the keeper, trying to find Nisbet.

01:01:49Aberdeen will keep the pressure on with a corner from the left-hand side.

01:01:56We're into added on time, but there will be a few minutes of that.

01:02:04Corner to Aberdeen, Clarkson to take.

01:02:07Drives that one.

01:02:12Celtic can't clear the lines.

01:02:17A little bit careless there from Nawrotski.

01:02:19Celtic have a player down injured inside the box,

01:02:22the referee finally blows, Aberdeen supporters don't like that.

01:02:25I think it might be Luke McCown that's down there.

01:02:30As we watch this again, he just runs into Alfie Dorrington.

01:02:35Gets an arm in the windpipe there.

01:02:38Yeah, he does, you're right.

01:02:39As he's running forward, Dorrington just stands like a statue

01:02:41and puts his hands up into the throat of Luke McCown.

01:02:45I think he'll be OK, but he's just a little bit winded and shocked by that.

01:02:50Bit of whiplash.

01:02:51Yeah, he took it full force on the neck.

01:02:54Yeah, from a game that before the break Celtic were really had in control,

01:03:05all of a sudden they're on level terms again.

01:03:10Over two and a half minutes into seven added.

01:03:15You can see McCown not happy with that challenge,

01:03:17he feels there was a little bit of intent there from Dorrington.

01:03:21He clearly doesn't agree.

01:03:24Well, he certainly didn't try too hard to get out of the way of McCown.

01:03:33So seven added minutes, plenty of time for more goals in this game.

01:03:40Referee gives the ball to Jensen.

01:03:43Forward looking for Morris, but cut out by Jeffrey Schlup.

01:03:48Aberdeen have a throw.

01:03:50Down the right-hand side.

01:03:56Jensen with the ball in hand.

01:03:57There's that one inside to Kevin Nisbet, surrounded by Celtic players.

01:04:01Eventually it will be cleared away by Trusty, but unconvincingly to the feet of Pala Versa.

01:04:07Now Morris.

01:04:09Final touch there, came off Paulo Bernardo, but he could only direct it behind for an Aberdeen corner.

01:04:14The pressure towards the end of the first half is coming from the home side.

01:04:17Yeah, they've got their tails up from the goal.

01:04:20Obviously.

01:04:21They've had a poor work to do in this last ten minutes or so defensively than the 35 before.

01:04:30So Clarkson comes across to the right-hand side for the outswinger.

01:04:43And it comes, headed away by McCown.

01:04:46Palo Versa went for the shot that time, but ended up being a decent pass out to Clarkson.

01:04:52In comes the curler.

01:04:53I don't think it was a cross, but it curled in towards Sinisalo's goal,

01:04:57and he kept his eye on that one all the way.

01:05:00The big finish goalkeeper.

01:05:01Sinisalo goes long that time, it's a lovely lay-off by Forrest to Ralston.

01:05:18Aberdeen players now pressing Celtic quickly.

01:05:21I think they feel that they've got the Celtic defence on the ropes a little bit.

01:05:26Yeah, their presses became a wee bit more aggressive.

01:05:29They were kind of sitting off Celtic, but since the goal, as you say,

01:05:33the tails are up, and that presses further forward now.

01:05:38Papagey takes a sore one there, but nothing that Navrotsky could have done.

01:05:46Simply the follow-through on the kick upfield.

01:05:51Navrotsky, the score-up of Celtic's goal.

01:05:58Aberdeen brought back into it after the stoppage,

01:06:02by the head of Kevin Nisbet.

01:06:08Can he roll back on the pitch?

01:06:13Well, he's certainly very close to the line where he could go off the pitch.

01:06:19There's the finish again from Nisbet.

01:06:21Sinisalo at full stretch, I think it just brushed the tips

01:06:27of the fingers of Sinisalo's gloves,

01:06:30but he couldn't spring across to his left enough to keep that one out.

01:06:35Yeah, it's a good header from Nisbet.

01:06:37There's not a lot of power on it, so the direction had to be key.

01:06:40Just redirected it away from Sinisalo.

01:06:44If you've just joined, is it still the first half,

01:06:47despite the clock saying 51 minutes,

01:06:49we are almost at the end of seven additional minutes.

01:06:52there was someone in the crowd that needed medical attention.

01:06:57That was what caused the lengthy stoppage.

01:07:01But it's turned into a feisty and entertaining game for the neutrals, shall we say.

01:07:08Aberdeen have grown in confidence, of course, since getting that equaliser.

01:07:13I'm not sure Brendan Rodgers will be keen to get the players in at half-time,

01:07:19just to regroup and reaffirm his messages.

01:07:29Ralston.

01:07:31High ball down the right-hand side, across comes Kenny,

01:07:35does really well to intercept Noster and win it back.

01:07:38Lays that one back to McGregor.

01:07:40Now Celtic still got something as an attacking force,

01:07:43but McGregor is dispossessed there by Clarkson.

01:07:46Now Aberdeen look to break up the other end of the pitch.

01:07:51Papage.

01:07:59Good play from Aberdeen, down the left-hand side,

01:08:01Clarkson with the cross,

01:08:02but an easy take in the end for Sinisalo.

01:08:10Schlup.

01:08:15Yang inside to McGregor.

01:08:17Referee still letting play continue,

01:08:22but almost eight additional minutes.

01:08:26James Forrest played a little one-two off an Aberdeen player there,

01:08:30strides towards the byline,

01:08:31oh, the ball breaks, it must be, and it is,

01:08:33and it's finished by Yang,

01:08:36right on the stroke of half-time.

01:08:38Great play from James Forrest,

01:08:40he got a bit of a break of the ball,

01:08:42but he took advantage of it.

01:08:44And when the ball broke right on the sixth-yard line,

01:08:47it was Yang who powered the shot past Mitoff,

01:08:51and for all Aberdeen's efforts and Aberdeen pressure,

01:08:54it will be Celtic who go in at half-time in front.

01:08:57Yeah, he shows a great turn of pace there,

01:08:59for the man who's in the latter stages of his career.

01:09:01A little bit of fortune with the one-two.

01:09:03And then this one, also a little bit fortunate,

01:09:07there's been a couple of occasions when it hasn't went the way of Yang,

01:09:10but it fell at his feet that time.

01:09:12He wasted no time putting it into the back of the net.

01:09:15Great finish from Yang for his sixth goal of the season.

01:09:21And a really important one in the context of tonight's game.

01:09:31Still got that turn of pace, James, hasn't he?

01:09:33He absolutely has.

01:09:35Celtic are looking for a third here,

01:09:37but that pass there from Kenny just a little bit overexuberant.

01:09:42And the referee finally realises that we haven't had half-time yet,

01:09:51so he blows for the end of the first half.

01:09:54Mike Navrotsky, it was, who gave Celtic the lead from a Luke McCown corner,

01:09:57a great downward header from the Celtic defender,

01:09:59brought into the starting eleven tonight.

01:10:01Kevin Nisbet then got Aberdeen level after a break in play

01:10:05with his own header past Sinisalo.

01:10:07It looked like it would be all square at half-time with Aberdeen going in,

01:10:11feeling buoyed by their equaliser,

01:10:14but James Forrest had other ideas than a typical Forrest.

01:10:18Penetrating run down the right-hand side,

01:10:20and a decent cross that took a couple of deflections,

01:10:23but eventually landed at the feet of Yang,

01:10:25who made no mistake from about four yards out of goal.

01:10:29So an entertaining first 45 minutes.

01:10:3145 still to come, but as it stands at Pataudry,

01:10:34as the sun sets in the Granite City,

01:10:36it is Aberdeen 1, Celtic 2.

01:10:41It's Pataudry, Australia out of Consonine,

01:10:44looks up inside, checks,

01:10:46waits for the opportunity,

01:10:48and it's too high for Hartson.

01:10:50A real opportunity there for Celtic,

01:10:55Petraud very patient indeed,

01:10:57that's Wallace now with the cross,

01:10:59wanted it just enough, now Petraud again.

01:11:01get blocked by Consonine.

01:11:02Point to prove for Jamie Smith against the club at the start of his career.

01:11:06He's had some good times as well, some first team action.

01:11:09This is Burn.

01:11:10A very well way out for Richard,

01:11:11but...

01:11:12a very well way out for Richard,

01:11:13but...

01:11:14a very well way out for Richard,

01:11:15but...

01:11:16a very well way out for Richard,

01:11:17but...

01:11:19it's well won by Hartson.

01:11:20Awkward for Diamond.

01:11:21Awkward for Diamond.

01:11:22A very well way out for Richard,

01:11:23but...

01:11:24it's been asking it with a chance.

01:11:25It's been...

01:11:26as we've seen it with a chance.

01:11:27But...

01:11:28point to prove for Jamie Smith against the club

01:11:29at the start of his career.

01:11:31He's had some good times as well.

01:11:33Some first team action.

01:11:34This is Burn.

01:11:36A very well way out for Richard,

01:11:39but...

01:11:42It's well won by Hartson.

01:11:43Awkward for Diamond.

01:11:45There's the last game now with a chance.

01:11:47Croninac!

01:11:48Awkward for Diamond, there's the Ravsky now with a chance.

01:11:54Corner cake's given, or there's the Ravsky, we're never going to get a chance than that.

01:11:59Alexander Diamond just caught on his heels, Bobby Winter, just caught out of position.

01:12:08Nakamura's corner, Essend comes for that, and Petrov beat him to the ball, couldn't keep the header down.

01:12:15It's that customer leg running to the box there, Petrov big and brave, just can't get over the top of the ball enough.

01:12:28Great play by Barton, he's taken out by Lennon in the end,

01:12:33but the way he took on Dodo Barton was extremely impressive, Lennon's going to have a yellow card for this ball now.

01:12:45It's going to be Winter.

01:12:47Oh, it's brilliant, Kivi Winter for Everdeen, from the set piece.

01:12:53That man coming in at short notice, but hard and low, going to the keeper's right-hand post.

01:13:01A super, super strike.

01:13:06There's Zalewski.

01:13:09Goes down well by Nicholson.

01:13:11And it comes to Nakamura, it's a very good cross.

01:13:21And headed away there by Constantine to Balde.

01:13:24Back to McGinney, it's a great finish!

01:13:27Brilliant enclosure by McGinney.

01:13:31Response from Celtic.

01:13:33Big guys are up there, lots of bodies in there, a little bit of panic from the Aberdeen defenders,

01:13:42but that is a clinical finish from a man, bang, in form, Aidan McGeddy.

01:13:49Scrappy here, but it falls to that man, bang.

01:13:52A little bit of a goal to make, the game is still all even, but it's transformed because both teams have scored.

01:14:03Here's Hartson!

01:14:04No, Petrov!

01:14:06Shouting in the head!

01:14:08Still in Petrov once again.

01:14:11The ball into Hartson, the run from Petrov.

01:14:16Petrov involved in the beginning there.

01:14:19It's the ball, simple ball, a good turn.

01:14:21And a fumble from Essen.

01:14:23And that man, the quickest of the lot.

01:14:26Following in, filling in the defender, getting his team.

01:14:312-1 into the lead.

01:14:33This is Nakamura, and now it's Zorowski.

01:14:41Telpa's pass, Zorowski again, Hartson's onside.

01:14:45Couldn't get beyond Diamond, but he won the corner.

01:14:52Short option available, dummied in by McGeddy for Telpa.

01:14:55That's good play by Telpa.

01:14:57Excellent play by Telpa!

01:14:59His first goal for Celtic!

01:15:02Surely now the points are safe.

01:15:08Little touch.

01:15:09Pass the Aberdeen defender and a crash into the far post, Essen no chance.

01:15:14And a super first goal for Telpa.

01:15:17Taking his team 3-1.

01:15:19And maybe out of sight in this game now.

01:15:22Super strike.

01:15:23Great goal by Telpa.

01:15:25Just over five minutes, or five minutes, plus not much time to go.

01:15:32And it looks comfortable at the moment for Celtic.

01:15:37Who's already number 15.

01:15:41He has got one in, one-on-one in the keeper.

01:15:43Can he do it all by himself?

01:15:45Oh, the posse chasing him, admit it running it.

01:15:53Very good chance.

01:15:54Great piece of skill.

01:15:55Showing good pace as well.

01:15:57Keep going away from the defence.

01:16:03Back it comes to Boric.

01:16:04Rich.

01:16:05Another error there by Considine.

01:16:10And a chance here for Virgo.

01:16:11Was it handball?

01:16:12Oh, yes.

01:16:13It was handball.

01:16:14The flag has been waved there on the far side.

01:16:17Drives forward, down the right wing.

01:16:18James Forrest.

01:16:19Forrest into the area.

01:16:20Checks his run.

01:16:21So he puts it across.

01:16:22It's a chance for Armstrong.

01:16:23Armstrong, into the box.

01:16:24Well, it looks like his heels were clipped.

01:16:25And the play's still scrambled there.

01:16:26The goalkeeper managed to get a save.

01:16:27A Musser Dembele shot.

01:16:28But Celtic fashion, a half chance there.

01:16:29And it was James Forrest at the heart of the action.

01:16:30The round walks it across to Armstrong.

01:16:31He's got a bit of space.

01:16:3230 yards from goal.

01:16:33Rolls it out wide.

01:16:34Solution again to the box.

01:16:35First time cross into the area.

01:16:36Far pause.

01:16:37Logan heads it clear only as far as Rogic inside.

01:16:38The area takes a left-foot shot.

01:16:39And it's in the back of the net.

01:16:40A wonderful strike.

01:16:41Wonderful technique from the Australian.

01:16:42He controlled it with his right.

01:16:43And with the outside of his left foot.

01:16:44Bulleted it beyond Joe Lewis.

01:16:4523 minutes gone and Celtic have the lead.

01:16:46Well, we've been talking about how it's been quite a scrappy opening to the game, Paul.

01:16:47But it's just been lit up by an absolute moment of magic from the Australian.

01:16:48The Australian.

01:16:49He's got a cross across to Armstrong.

01:16:50He's got a bit of space.

01:16:51He's got a bit of space.

01:16:5230 yards from goal.

01:16:53Rolls it out wide to the edge of the box.

01:16:54First time cross into the area.

01:16:55Far pause.

01:16:56Logan heads it clear only as far as Rogic inside.

01:16:57There he takes a left-foot shot.

01:16:58And it's in the back of the net.

01:16:59A wonderful strike.

01:17:00Wonderful technique from the Australian.

01:17:01He controlled it with his right.

01:17:02And with the right side of his left foot.

01:17:03Bulleted it beyond Joe Lewis.

01:17:0523 minutes gone and Celtic have the lead.

01:17:07Well, we've been talking about how it's been quite a scrappy opening to the game, Paul.

01:17:10But it's just been lit up by an absolute moment of magic from the Australian internationalist.

01:17:15A wonderful finish at the edge of the box.

01:17:17It was so difficult for him.

01:17:19He picked the ball up in a tight space.

01:17:21Managed to fashion some room for the shot and put a magnificent half volley into the far corner.

01:17:29Knocks it forward to McGinn.

01:17:30Just manages to stay onside.

01:17:32Floats it across to the far post.

01:17:34And it's a volley.

01:17:35And it's smothered by Craig Gordon.

01:17:38It was Considine again.

01:17:39Didn't get a good connection.

01:17:41Craig Gordon gathered that one well.

01:17:43Celtic looking for a second goal.

01:17:45The ball forward to Dembele.

01:17:48He's Aguirre there.

01:17:49Gets the ball.

01:17:50Gives it to Forrest.

01:17:51Forrest nudges it to Rogic.

01:17:52The goalscorer.

01:17:53Plays it back.

01:17:54It's a chance.

01:17:55Armstrong from six yards out.

01:17:56Well, he'll be disappointed there.

01:18:00On to Dembele.

01:18:011-2 down the left-hand side.

01:18:02Celtic on the attack.

01:18:03Sinclair up against Logan.

01:18:05Edge of the box.

01:18:06Skips past Logan.

01:18:07Takes the shot.

01:18:08Oh, it's just over the bar there.

01:18:10It took a fingertip save from Joe Lewis.

01:18:12Wonderful skill from Scott Sinclair.

01:18:14Down the right-hand side.

01:18:18Lustig.

01:18:19Pass it across.

01:18:20Looking for Rogic.

01:18:21Oh, what a wonderful ball.

01:18:22It's a chance for Rogic.

01:18:23Into the box.

01:18:24Can he make it two?

01:18:25Side foots it off.

01:18:26The goalkeeper who saves well.

01:18:27Logan clears the far side.

01:18:29What a pass from Mikel Lustig.

01:18:31On the front foot.

01:18:33Edge of the box.

01:18:34It's Lustig.

01:18:35Lustig knocks it into the area.

01:18:36It's a chance for Rogic.

01:18:37He's on his left foot.

01:18:38Across to Dembele.

01:18:39It's saved.

01:18:40Downside Lewis.

01:18:41Wonderful play again.

01:18:42Lustig at the heart of that.

01:18:43And Dembele denied with the Aberdeen keeper.

01:18:49Dembele picks up the loose ball.

01:18:50Drives forward.

01:18:52Burns.

01:18:53Tracks back.

01:18:54Still Dembele.

01:18:55To Sinclair.

01:18:56Sinclair.

01:18:57Rolls it across to Rogic.

01:18:58It's a chance for Rogic on his right foot.

01:19:00And it's wide of the right-hand post.

01:19:03The game could be out of sight so far with about an hour gone.

01:19:10Well, somebody's just punched Scott Brown there.

01:19:19Well, Scott Brown kicked the ball.

01:19:22And somebody has punched.

01:19:23I think it looked like Johnny Hayes.

01:19:25Well, it's got to be a red card for an Aberdeen player.

01:19:29Whatever else happens, somebody punched Scott Brown.

01:19:32And that has to be a sending off.

01:19:34Well, this is a moment of real controversy.

01:19:36Scott Brown booked.

01:19:37Johnny Hayes booked.

01:19:39And that is a disgrace.

01:19:43Reynolds fires it forward to the edge of the box.

01:19:46It's into the area.

01:19:47It's a chance for Shinny.

01:19:48And Sviachenko does well.

01:19:50Wonderful defending from the Croat and the Dane.

01:19:53And it ends up in the arms of the Scottish goalkeeper.

01:19:59Logan fires the ball into the box.

01:20:02Comes to Johnny Hayes.

01:20:03Hayes flicks it back.

01:20:04And it's a push there.

01:20:05Surely another foul there on a Celtic player.

01:20:08It was a Celtic player pushed in the box with the volley over the bar.

01:20:12And it's gone behind for a goal kick.

01:20:16Madison to deliver this one.

01:20:18If Celtic can clear this, I'm sure the referee's whistle will go.

01:20:21Every Celtic player back defending this.

01:20:24Madison steps forward, fires it into the box.

01:20:27And it's a save from Craig Gordon.

01:20:30And it's a corner kick.

01:20:31A point blank header.

01:20:32A wonderful save.

01:20:33And surely that's over five minutes.

01:20:35That's five and a half minutes of added time.

01:20:38How long is the referee going to play?

01:20:40Brendan Rodgers is asking that.

01:20:42It's a corner kick.

01:20:43Surely that has got to be added time.

01:20:45It's more controversy as the ball's delivered into the box.

01:20:49And surely the referee must put his whistle to his mouth.

01:20:53And Celtic with a thoroughly deserved victory.

01:20:55Only one goal in it in the end.
