CELTS HAVE PLENTY IN RESERVE AS DONS FOLD

JOHNNY KENNY marked his first Celtic start with his first goal for the club as the much-changed champions hammered Aberdeen.

The Irish striker netted 25 goals while on loan with Shamrock Rovers last year and he headed home the Hoops' fourth goal early in the second half at Pittodrie.

Maik Nawrocki also nodded in his first goal for Celtic with Yang Hyun-jun, Luke McCowan and Adam Idah also on target.

Kevin Nisbet had equalised for the Dons but their hopes of finishing third in the Premiership were well and truly extinguished.

And the nature of the defeat, coming off the back of Sunday's 4-0 defeat by Rangers, will dent their fans' confidence ahead of next week's Scottish Cup final against Celtic.

Both sides rang the changes from their weekend games, Brendan Rodgers swapping out eight players while the Dons showed six alterations.

Yang and Paulo Bernardo both had a couple of early chances while Pape Gueye and Topi Keskinen came close at the other end.
