First Win for Under-Fire Celtic Coach Wilfried Nancy
Wilfried Nancy earned his first win after four losses as Celtic beat Aberdeen 3-1 with late goals and a red card, moving closer to Premiership leaders Hearts.
- Wilfried Nancy recorded his first win as Celtic manager with a 3-1 victory over Aberdeen at Parkhead, ending a run of poor results under his charge.
- Before kickoff, several thousand Celtic fans attended an anti-board protest outside the main stand at Parkhead, while chairman Peter Lawwell revealed he will step down citing `abuse` and `threats`.
- A pivotal incident saw Dylan Lobban, Aberdeen defender, shown a straight red for tugging back Daizen Maeda after a Dimitar Mitov error; Benjamin Nygren opened scoring and Kenan Bilalovic equalised in the 74th minute.
- The win moved Celtic to within six points of William Hill Premiership leaders Hearts and offered Wilfried Nancy welcome respite after a difficult start.
- Looking beyond the scoreline, Celtic faced a subdued atmosphere as Mitov made key saves, while Forrest's stoppage-time goal extended his scoring run to 17 seasons.
