On This Day in 2023, Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic blew Aberdeen away as they prepared for the League Cup Final against Rangers. The Scottish Champions put together an impressive 4-0 display against the visitors from Pittodrie.
The visitors from the North East, led by interim boss Barry Robson, conceded within the first two minutes after Callum McGregor slammed the ball into the net from within the box.
Reo Hatate made it 2-0 to Celtic within fifteen minutes with a a wonderful goal. The Japanese midfielder showed incredible finesse as he danced through the Aberdeen defence before curling an effort into the net. Hatate made it 3-0 in the second half with another tidy finish after using smart footwork to get out of a tight spot on the touchline. It was 4-0 late in the game as Sead Haksabanovic cut the ball back for Liel Abada as the subs combined to round off the scoring.
