Celtic One Step Closer to Title After Thrashing Aberdeen

Celtic extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to 16 points with a dominant 5-1 victory over Aberdeen in Glasgow. The win puts Brendan Rodgers' side firmly on track for another league title, as they continue their impressive form this season.

Celtic came close to setting a new record—10 consecutive home wins without conceding a goal—but Shayden Morris spoiled the party with a consolation goal in the 90th minute. Despite this, the result was never in doubt, as Celtic's attacking firepower proved too much for Aberdeen to handle.
