Sutton’s Pittodrie verdict

Chris Sutton marvelled as Aberdeen and Celtic set about each other in a ‘meaningless’ end of season clash.

There were four goals for the BT Sport co-commentator to enjoy in the first 14 minutes followed by 76 minutes waiting for a fifth.

Incredibly the scoring ended after 14 minutes but those four goals and the remainder of the action made it essential viewing.

Sutton was impressed by the way that Jayden Stockley shook up the Celtic defence with Dedryck Boyata and Jozo Simunovic given an uncomfortable time.

Without Scott Brown there was something missing from the Celtic performance with Aberdeen pressing forward in a bold formation that had Celtic on the back foot for long stretches.

Whether Derek McInnes will deploy similar tactics at Hampden in the Scottish Cup Final remains to be seen with tonight’s clash setting the scene perfectly for Hampden in a fortnight’s time.
