Rampant Reo Hatate sprinkled magic across Parkhead as Celtic maintained their relentless Premiership pace.
The Japanese playmaker produced two swashbuckling goals as the hosts disposed of Aberdeen. Callum McGregor didn’t hang around this time to put the Dons to the sword. The captain had to wait until the final stages to hit the winner when the teams previously met just before Christmas in the Granite City.
But McGregor didn’t even need two minutes in Glasgow’s East End to set the champions on their way to yet another victory and lay the platform for Hatate to dazzle. The midfielder swayed from side to side to add a quickfire second for Ange Postecoglou’s men as they assumed command.
