Celtic Dominate Aberdeen with a Convincing 4-0 Victory
Celtic fans, what a night it was at Celtic Park! The Hoops put on a dominant display, securing a 4-0 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. This was a statement performance from Brendan Rodgers’ side, who are now sitting comfortably at the top of the table, stretching their lead to 13 points.
From the get-go, Celtic looked sharp and in control, and it didn’t take long for them to break the deadlock. In the 24th minute, Daizen Maeda got on the scoresheet with a stunning volley, giving the home side an early advantage. That set the tone for the rest of the match, and Aberdeen struggled to respond.
Six minutes later, Jota doubled the lead, slotting home after a perfect assist from Arne Engels. Celtic’s fluid passing and attacking intent were simply too much for Aberdeen to handle. The visitors had their chances, especially in the early stages, but they just couldn’t find the finishing touch.

Right before halftime, Callum McGregor made it three, effectively ending any hopes of an Aberdeen comeback. It was a captain’s goal—calm, composed, and clinical. At 3-0, it was game over before the second half even started.
Aberdeen tried to regroup, but Celtic never let them settle. The fourth goal came in the 72nd minute, courtesy of Yang Hyun-Jun, who capitalized on some static Aberdeen defending. The visitors had no answers, and by then, it was just about Celtic seeing the game out in style.
Aberdeen did have opportunities, with Keskinen and Morris both finding themselves in promising positions, but their finishing let them down. Even former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner pointed out on BBC Sportsound that while Celtic weren’t at their absolute best, they were clinical when it mattered—something Aberdeen simply couldn’t match.
The stats tell the story: Celtic had 68% possession, 14 shots, and six on target, while Aberdeen only managed seven attempts with none troubling the goalkeeper. It was a commanding performance from a team that looks every bit like champions in waiting.
With this win, Celtic extend their lead at the top, while Aberdeen remain third, but they’ll need to regroup quickly if they want to maintain their European ambitions. It was a night to remember for Celtic fans, and a night to forget for Aberdeen.
What a performance!
