Ange Postecoglou praised his Celtic side's resilience after their 3-2 win over Aberdeen stretched their unbeaten run in the Premiership to 20 games.
The visitors to Pittodrie were two goals to the good after 20 minutes with counters from the Portuguese winger Jota and midfielder Matt O'Riley.
Celtic were well in control until goals after the break from Dons striker Christian Ramirez and midfielder Lewis Ferguson drew the home side level, but Jota quickly scored a second to put the Hoops back in front and they remain one point ahead of Rangers at the top of the league.
