Celtic Held to 2-2 Draw by Aberdeen: A Frustrating Night at Pittodrie
It was a night of missed opportunities for Celtic at Pittodrie, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Aberdeen. The Bhoys came into the game looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss to Rangers, but they just couldn't quite find the killer instinct to seal the deal.
It was a frustrating night for Ange Postecoglou's side, who dominated possession and created plenty of chances, but they just couldn't finish them. There were several glaring misses from the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota, which definitely left the Celtic support feeling a bit disappointed.
A Tightly Contested Match
Aberdeen, on the other hand, were very much in the game. They defended resolutely and were dangerous on the counter-attack. They took the lead twice, both times from a set-piece. That's something Celtic need to work on, because they haven't been great at dealing with dead balls lately. It was a tale of two halves, with Celtic dominating the first, only for Aberdeen to fight back strongly in the second half.
The Bhoys were able to find their way back into the game after going down, but they never really looked like they would go on to win it. And let's be honest, a draw away at Aberdeen isn't the worst result in the world, but it was definitely not what Celtic were aiming for.
What's Next for Celtic?
The draw means Celtic stay top of the table, but their lead is now down to three points. They face a crucial clash against Hearts next weekend, and they'll be desperate to get back to winning ways.
It's a bit of a mixed bag for Celtic. They're still top of the league, but they've dropped some valuable points recently. They need to start finding their form again if they want to stay there. This was not the performance Celtic fans had hoped for, but hopefully they can bounce back and show what they're really made of in the coming weeks.
