Hoops on cloud nine
Celtic leapfrogged Rangers by two points at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with a 9-0 humiliation of Aberdeen at Parkhead.
In a quite astonishing match, Dons skipper Paul Hartley and Hoops defender Thomas Rogne were sent packing by referee Alan Muir as the home side romped to a 4-0 interval lead with doubles from Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes, the Irishman netting two penalties.
Both Celtic strikers completed their hat-tricks after the break
A a strike from Joe Ledley, an own-goal by Pittodrie substitute Josh Magennis and a late penalty from Celtic sub Paddy McCourt made the scoreline an embarrassment for the visitors.
