Celtic player ratings vs Aberdeen as Reo Hatate shines and Kyogo Furuhashi plays part from bench

Celtic's relentless charge for back to back league titles continued with victory over Aberdeen at Parkhead.

Ange Postecoglou's men have not allowed rivals Rangers a sniff at closing the nine point gap at the top with the Hoops making it 24 wins from 26 league outings. Only the Light Blues and St Mirren have claimed a result off the reigning champions to date. Skipper Callum McGregor got the home fans off their feet inside the first two minutes as he fired beyond Aberdeen's Jay Gorter. Just over ten minutes later it was two in a period that the Hoops totally dominated.

A superb move ended with Reo Hatate collecting the ball before drilling a low effort into the back of the net. VAR also played a part with a penalty initially awarded to the Hoops ruled out for an offside call in the build-up. during the first 45 minutes. They then grabbed a third with 15 minutes to play with Hatate adding a second to his tally before sub Liel Abada got in on the act. It's the perfect result heading into next week's Hampden showdown with Rangers with the League Cup up for grabs. Here's how we rated Celtic in a comfortable win in Glasgow's east end.
