Celtic move to within ten points of leaders Rangers with a 2-1 victory over Aberdeen this afternoon.

Neil Lennon's Celtic recorded their first victory in five matches by defeating ten-man Aberdeen 2-1 at Parkhead earlier today.

All started well for the hosts when Ki Sung-Yeung put them in front after 17 minutes following a pass from striker Gary Hooper.

However, a solo effort from Ryan Jack on the hour-mark looked to have handed the Dons a share of the spoils.

It would be a former Aberdeen defender that struck the winning goal for Celtic with 18 minutes remaining. Daniel Majstorovic's header into the area was met by Charlie Mulgrew, who turned the ball into the net.

There was still time for goalscorer Jack to be dismissed for a foul on Hooper with 80 minutes played.

Third-placed Celtic now trail leaders Rangers by ten points in the Scottish Premier League.
