An early goal in the second half from Celtic was enough to send the large away support, which packed into three of the McDiarmid stands, home happy.

CELTIC 3 ABERDEEN 0
Scorers: Duran, Nygren, Yang
The first meeting of the season between these old foes and Celtic continue their good start to the season while Aberdeen, now managed by Stephen Robinson, have had an indifferent start to their campaign.
Three first half goals secured the 3 points for the home side. Aberdeen to their credit tightened up in the second half to deny Celtic the same amount of scoring chances they enjoyed in the first 45 minutes.

Two first half goals ultimately proved to be enough for Celtic to take the three points as Falkirk were only able to half the deficit in the second half.

CELTIC 1 DUNDEE 0
Scorer: Nygren
Celtic began their league campaign at home to Dundee with the unusual kick off time of 7:30 on a Monday evening however it didn't stop a massive crowd turning out to see Celtic firstly, unfurl the league championship flag and then getting off to a winning start.
The win was a narrow one but should have been more comfortable had the Celts not been as wasteful in front of goal.

TITLE DECIDER
A dramatic day at Celtic Park for the final league match of the season as both sides had a chance to win the league, Hearts only needed to avoid defeat to win a rare championship while Celtic needed nothing less than a win.
In a tight first half, Hearts took a late lead but there was still time for Celtic to find an equaliser to go into the dressing room at 1-1.
As the second half progressed into the final few minutes it looked like Hearts were going to achieve their objective of winning the league but Celtic scored with only three minutes to go and then deep into time added on scored another to secured three points, the league title and to make them champions once again.

Glasgow's greens and blues under a perfect blue sky and played on an excellent green pitch in the wonderful month of May.
Celtic had to came from behind to go into the dressing room level at half time and then produced a rousing second half display to come out worthy winners in the final Glasgow derby of the season.

HIBERNIAN 1 CELTIC 2
Scorers: Newell; Maeda, Iheanacho
My third match at Easter Road this season with all three ending in a 2-1 defeat for the home side.
Celtic narrowly won this one against 10 man Hibs who played for most of the game with a man short following a red card with just 20 minutes on the clock and the match still scoreless. By half time the match was level at 1-1 as Hibs equalised with the last kick of the first half. The decisive goal was scored shortly after the 70th minute.

Matchday 34 of the league season which meant the split matches got underway with Celtic desperately needing a win to stay in connection for the title.
The game was keenly contested but Celtic gained the upper hand with two first half goals. In the second, Falkirk reduced the arrears to one before Celtic victory in the final 10 minutes of the match.

CELTIC 1 ST MIRREN 0
Scorer: Oxlade-Chamberlain
Celtic strike early to take the lead but fail to build on their good start which leads to a more nervy second half than it should have been for the home fans. They have to settle for a win over a convincing performance.
The match ends with the same scoreline as the first encounter of the season at Celtic Park.

After a non eventful first half, United quickly establish a lead early in the second half which they never looked like losing against a very average Celtic team struggling to score goals.
My seat was in the Jerry Kerr (Main) Stand which was in the area of my very first visit to Tannadice in May 1982.

CELTIC 3 MOTHERWELL 1
Scorers: Yang(2), Cvancara; Just
Motherwell opened the scoring but Celtic managed to get level before half time. The result was decided on a big VAR call in the second half when Celtic were awarded a penalty and due to the nature of the foul - a grab rather than a challenge in the box - a red card was given and Motherwell were reduced to 10 men. In full view of the referee who failed to see such a significant incident.

Martin O'Neill returned again for another stint in the dugout after the very short tenure of Wilfried Nancy and once again he made an immediate impact as Celtic recorded a fine victory over the Arabs.

A crazy start to the game with four goals shared in the opening 10 minutes. In a breathtaking first half Celtic added two more goals including a VAR awarded penalty to take control of the match at half time.
There were no more goals added to the six from the first 45 minutes in a more sedate second half.
