1. Kris CommonsGoals from Jason Denayer and Kris Commons earned Celtic a well deserved 2-1 win over Aberdeen.

For around an hour the hoops were on the front foot and should have been further in front as parts of Ronny Deila’s philosophy began to take hold.

Denayer opened the scoring early in the first half when he deflected an Efe Ambrose shot into the net from close range with Commons doubling the lead at the start of the second half after Callum McGregor had created an opening down the right.

Craig Gordon and Virgil van Dijk came to the fore in the last half hour of the match as Aberdeen chased an equaliser after David Goodwillie pulled a goal back.

“We played fantastic in the first 60 minutes,” Deila stated. “There were some spells there that were very good and the tempo and passing was good.

“We created a lot of chances and should have killed the game because you know when it goes to 2-1 it’s going to be hard. But so many players have been out with their national teams and others haven’t played for a while, so there were some crucial moments in the last 10 minutes.

“The new players were good. They need time and haven’t played in a while and they need to settle into the team but I was thrilled with what they did after only training for one week.

“However, we need to be more clinical. That’s not been too much of a problem so far. Our biggest task is creating more chances.

“Today we did it and we did it against Dundee United but we can score more goals and I know I have strikers that can do that.”

On Thursday Celtic face Salzburg in the Europa League before hosting Motherwell in the SPFL three days later.
