    HT: Celtic 2-0 Aberdeen

    Celtic fans will be delighted that the loan deal for Patrick Roberts extends to next season as well. The 19-year-old from Manchester City has knocked in two great goals and has the fans on their feet every time he drives forward.

  2. HALF-TIME Celtic 2-0 Aberdeenpublished at 45 mins

    It's been all Celtic, with the champions playing with a tempo and intensity that hasn't always been there this season. Patrick Roberts has scored both goals; the first a screamer from distance, the second a well-placed curling strike.

    Celtic 2-0 Aberdeen

    Patrick Roberts is driving into the penalty box in search of a hat-trick but he doesn't fancy it on his right foot, which allows Andrew Considine to recover and nudge the ball out for a corner. The set-piece is headed off target by Mikael Lustig following a near post run.

    Celtic 2-0 Aberdeen

    Simon Church has been hobbling for a while and now he's replaced by Mark Reynolds. That's a striker being replaced by a centre-half, so there will be a bit of reshuffle from Aberdeen.

    "There really is a party atmosphere inside Celtic Park as Ronny Deila's side have begun this match in impressive fashion. Derek McInnes is furious about the time and space Celtic are being given, which has allowed the hugely talented Patrick Roberts to punish Aberdeen on two occasions already."

    The Aberdeen defence is extremely jittery from the following corner and a delivery across the face of goal is not dealt with. No Celtic player can apply a touch, though.

    Patrick Roberts is in the mood for another as the ball drops to him on the edge of the box but Ash Taylor gets his large frame in the way to deflect the shot wide.

    Now it's Aberdeen's turn to enjoy some prolonged possession and a great Jonny Hayes cross drops for Niall McGinn in a promising area at the near post but he can't apply any kind of finish.
