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.

I attempted to purchase raffle tickets but according to PayPal there is no delivery option for Germany, so it wouldn’t accept the transaction.
Even if purchasing tickets is not possible, is it possible to make a donation by means other than PayPal
Good Evening.
Here is my reaction to Kenny Miller’s suggestion that Sevco were never really going for the title this season…

Same here, that ebid website is awful. I assume ebay wasn’t used for a reason.
If BRTH has a Paypal account, I assume he does, then we could send him the cash if we use his user name/email.

Same up here but we do our best
This isn’t about Kezia or unionists it’s about basic humanity
Koln Celt
Are you still heading to Lisbon
50 years since Celtic won the European cup? Time something was done about it.!
Think about it. All the mibbery and murrayberry was to obliterate the memory of Jock Stein and Scotlands greatest ever sporting achievement. We are standing in the shoulders of giants.
Time Celtic were back in Europe big time.
Agree with Kevjungle re NFL
The Huddle
The site tells me I’ve purchased but nothing to n my PayPal or ban account

Let me look into this — I have same enquiries from others but it seems to me that when you click on the buy now button your Paypal account is debited and if you have no funds in that account then paypal takes it from your bank account within 48 hours or so.
Let me check to see if I have received the credits.
BT if not use the usual payment route — in fact, all three of you have the details.
BRTH
At least I’m flying home on my 23rd wedding anniversary
Mrs BT is a good lass
WITS
Assuming I survive the Thursday evening session, I’ll still be kicking around on the Friday evening, hopefully catch you then.
BT.
Not sure about the missionary work, more of an expeditionary force before the main army arrives.
I will tread a fine line between enjoying myself and embarrassing myself.
JMcC-about £120-150 return …

It’s impossible for our Paypal accounts to be debited when you register as it’s likely that we don’t use the same email address to log into ebid
