Celtic managed to defy the conditions and a stern Aberdeen side to win 2-1 at Pittodrie yesterday and consolidate the ten point lead held over second-placed Rangers.
A first half goal from Callum McGregor pulled Celtic ahead on a really tough day for football but Aberdeen dragged themselves level as Ash Taylor found himself free at the back post to smash the ball beyond Fraser Forster.
It was more of the same in the second half as the wind swirled around the North East, Celtic toiled and should have been ahead through Jonny Hayes – who replaced Greg Taylor in the first half – but his shot was well saved by Joe Lewis.
Neil Lennon’s three substitutes were involved as Celtic managed to carve an opening thanks to brilliant play from Odsonne Edouard, Callum McGregor and James Forrest, the latter finding makeshift right-back Kris Ajer at the edge of the box, who’s deft finish put the Hoops 2-1 ahead.
