    Jozo Simunovic

    Joe Lewis does well to block at the feet of Odsonne Edouard but is beaten from the resulting corner as Jozo Simunovic rises to nod in a powerful header.

    That's two in two for the big defender who scored the winner against Kilmarnock last week.

    Aberdeen 0-1 Celtic

    Stevie May dinks a cross in from the left and it's at an awkward height for James Wilson who can only steer a leaping volley over the top.

    A few groans from the home fans but it was a difficult chance for the striker.

    The teams re-emerge from the tunnel. Can Aberdeen respond or will Celtic stretch their advantage?

    It looks like a performance that is going to win the title but it's not thrilling the fans or doing much for Neil Lennon's chances of keeping the job

    Stevie May does not do his job, he's switched off and allowed Mikael Lustig to get away from him. It's a quite brilliant header though

    Mikael Lustig's goal is the difference at Pittodrie. Is he your man of the match so far?

  8. HALF-TIME Aberdeen 0-1 Celticpublished at 45 mins

    The visiting fans are in good voice as they warm up for a title party at Pittodrie.

    Celtic only need a point but they are on course for all three after Mikael Lustig's excellent diving header.

    James Wilson will be wondering how he has missed two glorious opportunities for Aberdeen.

    What a finish from Lustig! He just doesn't give up and the Aberdeen defence goes missing. With the pace on that ball he's had to dive and he's got it absolutely spot on to head it past Joe Lewis. It was like a striker's finish and I don't think the goalkeeper had any chance.

    Shay Logan is booked for a cynical swipe at the ankles of James Forrest. Taking one for the team, to prevent a counter-attack.

    Aberdeen 0-0 Celtic

    James Wilson looks like a frustrated man after those two big misses. This time he lets fly from miles out, with team-mates screaming for a pass, and gets a few dirty looks after scuffing it harmlessly into the arms of Scott Bain.

  13. CLOSE!published at 34 mins

    Aberdeen 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard does very well to screen the ball on the edge of the Aberdeen box and lays it off for James Forrest, who hits it first time and watches his shot curl just wide.

    That's an incredible chance for Wilson, you think he's just going to stroke it into the back of the net. Cosgrove gets the shot on target, Bain makes the save and it's magnificent play from McKenna, you have to say.

    James Wilson has hit the bar and the post already for Aberdeen, will it be third time lucky for him, or will the Dons rue those missed chances?’

  16. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 31 mins

    Aberdeen 0-0 Celtic

    Scott McKenna intercepts at the edge of his own box and then thunders up the park to the other penalty area. He drives a good cross in for a sliding Sam Cosgrove and Scott Bain pulls off an impressive sprawling save.

    The loose ball falls to James Wilson and the striker can only graze the outside of the post with the net gaping. A terrible miss.

    We’ve had snow, hail, sleet, now sun at Pittodrie so far... Aberdeen are growing in to this game as an attacking force but look very nervy at the back.

    Referee John Beaton is giving his yellow card a good work out and this time he flashes it in the direction of Kristoffer Ajer for a push on James Wilson.

    It was a great chance for Aberdeen. I would've put my money on Wilson finding the back of the net with that one. He's hit it down into the ground and its bounced up and clipped the cross bar
