Benjamin Nygren came off the bench to score the winner as Celtic moved up into second place in the Premiership with a 2-1 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
This fixture was re-arranged after a waterlogged pitch put paid to the game in early February and the visitors knew a win in the Granite City would see them leapfrog Old Firm rivals Rangers and move five points behind league leaders Hearts.
Martin O'Neill decided to start with Reo Hatate who scored and had been so influential in his side's comeback against Rangers at the weekend but it was Celtic's other goalscorer from that game who gave them then the lead here when Kieran Tierney struck early on.
Kevin Nisbet pulled Aberdeen back on level terms from the penalty spot after Liam Scales was penalised for fouling Toyosi Olusanya in the box but it was substitute Nygren who was the matchwinner when he prodded home from close range.
