Celtic blitzed Aberdeen with three goals in the opening 11 minutes in what at that stage looked set to be a drubbing, but the hosts pulled a goal back in the 12th minute, which set a parity for the remainder of the match.
Leigh Griffiths has had to be patient this season but he made the most of his starting opportunity tonight. The opening goal, came from his corner, which was headed into the net by Dedryck Boyata. Patrick Roberts had a clear chance to open the scoring seconds earlier, but Aberdeen keeper Lewis turned his effort behind.
The second Celtic goal arrived on the 8th minute. There was nothing really on when Griffiths collected the ball wide on the right, but one cheeky nutmeg later and the Aberdeen defence were chasing shadows. Leigh crossed and Callum McGregor fired a shot which was blocked by Logan. The rebound fell to Stuart Armstrong, who contorted his body to make a contact good enough to score.
Again, there was little obvious danger when Leigh Griffiths collected the ball 30 yards out in 11 minutes. The Celtic striker took on two defenders before cracking a shot from 24 yards, which moved and deceived Lewis before smacking the back of the net.
At this point Celtic looked more likely to score six than to settle for three, but, remarkably, the fourth goal of the game arrived just a minute later, when Jonny Hayes lost Kieran Tierney with a quick change of direction before thundering one into the top corner from 23 yards.
It was now Celtic’s turn to rock. Perhaps the game’s most important subsequent moment came after just 14 minutes when Stockley lost the Celtic central defenders, but couldn’t make contact with a cross 7 yards in front of goal.
Celtic’s passing in recent weeks has been exceptional, but they didn’t get this right on a choppy Pittodrie surface, as the unforced error count spiked. The ball rotation we have become used to seeing this season didn’t happen often, underlining the importance of suspended Scott Brown.

We talked to Moussa in the Jan window, that’s all, he was sounded out, NOTHING was signed till he actually signed for us, no pre contract was signed, had there been it would have been on the Celtic site and all over the media, there was nothing cos he signed nothing.
Brendan had a chat with Moussa’s agent, he told him to tell Moussa to speak to Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling if he had any concerns about Brendan’s credentials. Moussa is only here because Brendan lured him to Paradise.

What exactly is ‘Cockney” rhyming slang?
Cockney rhyming slang at its most simple is a use of a conjunction of words, whose last is used to suggest a rhyme, which is its definition. For example one of the most famous and one that is very rarely used in all seriousness is Apples and Pears, meaning stairs.
Usually the rhyming slang is abbreviated to just the first word, so the above example would become apples.
as in P**H Lilian Gish
This in effect makes a sentence in which it is employed much harder to understand and when a phrase incorporates two or more elements of rhyming slang the meaning becomes so obscure that to the ininitiated confusion is the result. There lies its original purpose, as a form of coded speech.

There were 27 kids making their first communion today at a mass that is always busy….there are a few places around the chapel, some were invited to the same mass but three of four communions, not that it matters, a lot ended up at ours, even though a few of the other “celebrations” had free bars……I informed all invites I would expect to have a beer/cider bought because I had provided their sausage rolls & sandwiches :-)
Miss GFTB obviously got monetary presents but as rosary beads go, holy pendants and medals, we could open up our own we chapel shop …….
My two older sister when leaving both said…. “Mum and dad would be so proud” good enough for me……
Dembelle signed a contract in January …… :-)
So when was Moussa signed ?
I demand to know…….
Show me the proof

“To be the first signing of Brendan Rodgers is unreal for me.”
“He told me that Celtic is a good team for me. I will have game time. I obviously have to show I can stay in the team.
“I think it’s a good way for me to progress. It’s unbelievable for me to play for a massive club like this.”

You have to turn off JavaScript to avoid it.
Gamboa signed as cover at right back.Very capable wee player.De Vries was a standout goalkeeper with Forest.They nosedived when he left.Not a great start for us,but these things happen.Kolo signed to get us through the CL qualifiers.Job done.Sinclair,nuff said.Eboue.Contracted Malaria after signing for us.Knocked him back a good bit,as anyone who knows this ilness will confirm.He has impressed me.I think we have a future star here.IMHO,I think BR has done fantastic job in the transfer market,for not a lot of money.
Gerry, that’s pleasing to hear she received spiritual presents as well as other gifts.
That was a lovely comment from your sisters, it will have meant the world to you.
Just watched Brendan’s chat with Chris Sutton , inspiring stuff.
When the programme finished , it was followed by the trailer for the Sean Fallon documentary . Top notch telly
LMCBhoy- yes seen the hoops on 17th…

Moussa said in a celtic tv interview that he had spoken to the club months previously , there’s a lot of negotiations involved in a player signing and I think the player and his agent would have kept his options open right up till the last , remember Billy McNeil saying that he had the unmentionable ones signature on paper and we know what happened next , so Borini or Moussa or any “done deal” is 99% complete and the last 1% is the actual signing the deal , so Moussa probably only became a Celtic player 5 mins before appearing before the press . Anyway Cowiebhoy fancy a singalong ? :-) ……….. CALL CAL ( That’s Amore) When your left back goes down , don’t be stuck with a frown call McGregor , if your man on the wing , he just aint doing his thing call McGregor , If you’re missing a spark in the heart of the park call McGregor , for no matter the role he’ll chip in with a goal CALLUM McGREGOR.

BB, I thought you were swithering for a bit. I thought I saw you ask about flights from Manchester. I may have misread.
Your beers are on the tap regardless.

So was Moussa tapped ?
Am only jesting, I love the fact Brendan & Moussa are in our side……..
Dallas….
More importantly my dads wee sister (well into her 80s) made it, my mums sister couldn’t through ill health but Miss GFTB never left her side, she never met her grandparents but through her family she is very close to them……by the way many relatives gave me a sign of approval today but it was emotion, I know they all think I am a clown :-)
GerrYfaethebrig,
You Dude, you urnae a “Hold it Down”. You are a ghetto Superstar.
ACGR- I had a wee bevvy in me and was thinking about it….catch a beer soon amigo HH
Turkeybhoy, I’ve not seen enough of Eboue to even begin to form an opinion yet. He came on a few weeks back at CP and got off to a shaky start, then settled into the game and turned and opposition player inside out at one point.
I hope you’re right but as one who visits CP every home game, I’ve yet to see this boy play properly, and by properly I mean a whole or substantial part of a game.
