Duran scores sixth in eight games as Celtic sweep aside Aberdeen

Scottish Premiership Celtic 3 - 0 Aberdeen FT Camilo Duran made it six goals in eight games for Celtic as Martin O'Neill's side continued their unbeaten start to their domestic campaign with a comfortable Scottish Premiership victory at home to Aberdeen. After a nervy end to proceedings against Falkirk at the weekend, Celtic's three first half goals ensured they were well on their way to three points after 45 minutes against their abject visitors. Duran got Celtic up and running with a wonderful strike from the edge of the box which cannoned off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net. Haissem Hassan, who had been firing in crosses for most of the first half, skipped past Lewis Mayo and sent another delivery towards the back post. Duran appeared to get a touch on the ball and help it on to the onrushing Benjamin Nygren, whose low shot bobbled into the back of the net. Aberdeen finally had a chance to pull one back as Gavin Molloy smashed a header off the Celtic crossbar but, 26 seconds later, Celtic had a third. The ball was cleared and the hosts raced up the other end before a perfectly weighted pass from Duran played in Yang Hyun-jun and the winger finished coolly into the bottom left corner of Marius Muller's goal. Celtic remain top of the table with four wins from four while Aberdeen remain in the lower reaches of the division. More to follow.
