Celtic demonstrated the impact of their recent investment with a commanding 3-0 victory over Aberdeen at Celtic Park. The team's clinical performance, marked by goals from Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren, and Yang Hyun-jun, extended their perfect start to the league season and eased the mood following a difficult previous week.
Duran opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a precise strike. Nygren doubled the lead in the 34th minute, capitalizing on defensive lapses from Aberdeen. Yang Hyun-jun sealed the victory just before halftime with a well-placed finish, putting the game beyond reach for the visitors.
The match also provided a glimpse of Celtic's new acquisitions. While Sam Johnstone, Oliver Sorensen, and Shim Mheuka were on the bench, with Landon Emenalo absent due to a knock, the club also saw the unannounced arrival of midfielder Joel van den Berg. New signings Sorensen and Mheuka later made their debuts in the second half, contributing to the team's continued attacking pressure.
Aberdeen, managed by Stephen Robinson, struggled to impose themselves on the game. Despite making four changes at halftime, the team could not find a way back into the match. Manager Robinson has seen significant backing in the transfer market, but the team's performance has yielded only one win so far this season.
Celtic's defensive shape also appeared more assured compared to earlier matches, limiting the chances conceded. The victory extends Celtic's winning streak at the start of the season, building confidence as the team looks towards potential European competition.
