Chris Sutton has delivered his immediate reaction after Celtic made a statement away to Aberdeen to move seven points clear in the Scottish Premiership.
Admittedly, the match on show wasn’t a classic, with highlights in the first 45 few and far between amid Jimmy Thelin’s mission to subdue the visitors.
Nevertheless, Celtic prevailed away to Aberdeen in dramatic fashion after Reo Hatate smashed home Greg Taylor’s delicious lofted ball through, leaving Ross Doohan with no chance.
Now, the Bhoys sit seven points clear in the Scottish Premiership table and retain a game in hand over the Dons, which could potentially put them out of reach unless a dramatic collapse were to unfold.
Following a momentous night in the North East, Chris Sutton has reacted to events that have saw the Hoops move further ahead in the standings.
Chris Sutton reacts to brilliant Celtic victory over Aberdeen
Taking to social media platform X, Sutton lauded the contribution of Hatate, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Taylor in what he labelled as an ‘enormous’ win for the defending champions.
He stated: “Enormous win for Celtic in wild conditions. Celtic had to earn it. Aberdeen gave it their all and pushed them all the way. Hatate with a stunning winner. Taylor great assist. Carter-Vickers a giant at the back.”
True to his word, the Bhoys had to battle with some adverse conditions to record a massive triumph that could have significant ramifications.
Celtic have positioned themselves brilliantly in the table
Nothing is won or lost at this stage in the league, but you have to think that Brendan Rodgers will be delighted with the start his side have made and their current position.
Grinding out results against the elements and sturdy opposition is part and parcel. Celtic have passed their latest test with flying colours and look like they will be difficult for anyone to stop.
