Celtic manager, Nancy, finally put an end to a string of defeats with a dramatic late victory against Aberdeen at Celtic Park. The match concluded 3-1 in favor of the home side, but the scoreline doesn't fully reflect the tense and closely contested nature of the encounter.

Celtic dominated possession with 72.6%, but Aberdeen proved resilient, especially after being reduced to 10 men. The sending off proved a turning point, but Celtic still had to fight hard for the win.

The game started with Celtic pressing high, eager to break their losing streak. They created several early chances, testing the Aberdeen defense. The breakthrough came in the 24th minute when Yang Hyun-Jun scored, giving the home fans something to cheer about. Aberdeen responded well, absorbing the pressure and attempting to hit Celtic on the counter-attack. Their efforts paid off when Bojan Miovski scored an equalizer in the 38th minute, silencing the Celtic Park crowd.

The second half began with both teams displaying a high level of intensity. Aberdeen's task became significantly harder when they were reduced to 10 men after a harsh red card decision in the 65th minute. Despite being a man down, Aberdeen defended bravely, frustrating the Celtic attack. Celtic threw everything they had at the Aberdeen defense, but the Dons stood firm, with their goalkeeper making several crucial saves.

The pressure finally told in the 88th minute when James Forrest, who came on as a substitute, scored to put Celtic ahead. The late goal sparked jubilant celebrations among the Celtic supporters and a visible sense of relief for manager Nancy. In added time, Daizen Maeda added a third goal, securing the victory for Celtic and putting a slightly flattering gloss on the scoreline.

While the victory will provide a welcome boost for Celtic, there are still areas that need improvement. The defense looked vulnerable at times, and the team's reliance on individual brilliance was evident. For Aberdeen, despite the defeat, there were positives to take from their spirited performance, particularly their defensive resilience while down to 10 men.

This result moves Celtic to second on the Scottish Premiership table. Celtic will hope to build on this win and regain consistency in the upcoming matches. Aberdeen, on the other hand, will be aiming to bounce back quickly and maintain their position in the top half of the table.
