Celtic couldn’t make their first-half dominance count against Aberdeen earlier today as Brendan Rodgers’ side had to settle for a point at Pittodrie.
In truth, the home side rallied in the second half, making it difficult for the Bhoys to continue in their groove after going through the entire opening 45 without a touch in the opposition’s box [BBC Sport].
Bojan Miovski was linked with Celtic during the January transfer window and delivered the opener against the run of play, jinking inside before curling a precise strike beyond Joe Hart.
Nicolas Kuhn came to the rescue for the Scottish Premiership holders 13 minutes by virtue of a deflected effort; however, Rodgers’ men failed to secure a much-needed victory despite extending their unbeaten run to seven games across all competitions.
Luis Palma and Paulo Bernardo passed up golden opportunities in the first half to provide a cushion at Pittodrie. Despite this, the hosts could’ve taken three points if they had been more clinical.
Hibernian will present another tough test on the road for Celtic in midweek as they aim to return to winning ways at Easter Road.
Chris Sutton comments on Bojan Miovski’s strike vs Celtic
Loanee Adam Idah made his debut today for Celtic, contributing with an assist and showing glimpses of what he could offer between now and the end of the campaign [Sofascore].
Nevertheless, former Celtic icon Chris Sutton gave a nod of appreciation to Miovski’s performance during his live commentary duties with Sky Sports.
Sutton simply stated: “There’ll be Celtic fans thinking, we were linked with him weren’t we.”
The North Macedonia international is now up to 19 goals and four assists in 34 appearances across all competitions this campaign [Transfermarkt].
Rodgers has repeatedly called for ‘quality’ additions on a number of occasions since returning to Parkhead, and the 24-year-old would’ve certainly fallen into that bracket if he arrived during the window.
