Celtic FC continued their impressive start to the Scottish Premiership season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Aberdeen at Celtic Park on September 2, 2026. The match was particularly special as it took place in front of Celtic legend Kenny Dalglish, who witnessed the Bhoys put on a dominant performance that left no doubt about their current form.
With this win, Celtic has now achieved four consecutive victories in the league, marking an impressive eleven straight wins overall in the Scottish Premiership. Under the management of Martin O’Neill, the team has shown remarkable consistency and resilience, which could prove crucial as they aim for another title this season.
The hosts wasted little time in establishing their dominance, with Camilo Duran opening the scoring in the first half with a stunning strike that would have made Dalglish proud. Following Duran's opener, Benjamin Nygren and Yang added to the scoreline, effectively sealing the match before halftime. The second half saw Celtic maintain control, with Aberdeen struggling to create any significant chances in the face of a relentless Celtic attack.
Despite the rainy conditions at Celtic Park, the home side's performance was anything but dampened. Aberdeen's goalkeeper, Muller, was kept busy throughout the match, making several crucial saves that prevented the scoreline from becoming even more lopsided. The Dons, who have had a challenging start to their campaign, were unable to cope with Celtic’s attacking prowess.
Camilo Duran, in particular, stood out as the Man of the Match, scoring his third goal in just two games in the absence of regular striker Kasper Hogh. Duran's ability to find space and create opportunities has made him a key player for Celtic, and his performance against Aberdeen showcased his growing importance to the team. He was eventually substituted for new loan signing Shumaira Mheuka, who made his debut in the 75th minute.
Mheuka, a Chelsea youngster, displayed potential despite not having many chances to score. His energy and enthusiasm in attack suggest he could become a valuable asset as he settles into the squad. Another debutant, Oliver Sorensen, who joined on a season-long loan from Parma, also came off the bench, replacing the experienced Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. While Sorensen's debut was less impactful, his presence in midfield is expected to bring additional dynamism to the team.
Colby Donovan and Haissem Hassan also contributed significantly to the team's success, with Donovan's solid defensive work and Hassan's ability to deliver dangerous crosses from the right flank causing problems for the Aberdeen defense. Even without key players like Alistair Johnston and Kieran Tierney, Celtic's depth and talent shone through, highlighting the team's strength as they look to defend their title.
As Celtic continues to integrate new signings and build on their current momentum, the outlook for the rest of the Scottish Premiership remains daunting. With each match, they are proving to be a formidable force, and their ability to secure three points consistently will be vital as they pursue further success this season.
