Aberdeen 0, Celtic 2 - 10th August, 2025
Coherence and control win through as Aberdeen butcher every transition opportunity
The first away match was a potentially tricky one against Scottish Cup holders, Aberdeen.
A midblock, counter-attacking strategy made Celtic wary, and possession and control held sway over chance volume.
Scoring midway through the half, then again at the same point in the second half, allowed Celtic to continue containing an aggressive but poor home side on the ball.
Some good performances from Kasper Schmeichel, Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Kieran Tierney, James Forrest and Benjamin Nygren.
The forward line continue to struggle, and depth off the bench isn’t what it should be.
