Celtic are into the Scottish Cup final having beaten Aberdeen 2-0 in Sunday’s semi-final clash at Hampden Park.
The Bhoys drew 3-3 at Aberdeen last weekend, showing that a threat the Dons could be if Celtic weren’t on their game.
Celtic have been patchy of late, but were much better on Sunday as Ryan Christie opened the scoring with a beautiful left-footed strike.
Mohamed Elyounoussi added to Christie’s goal just five minutes later, and Celtic saw the game out strongly to claim a 2-0 victory.
Celtic head into the final and will be delighted with a clean sheet, having recently shown some frailty at the back.
Nir Bitton particularly impressed, as the Israeli starred alongside Shane Duffy having impressively made the full-time switch from holding midfield to centre back.
Bitton has missed recent games but was back with a strong display yesterday, prompting huge praise from Celtic supporters on Twitter.
Some called the Israeli ‘sublime’ and ‘majestic’, whilst there was a common theme that the 29-year-old is so underrated and doesn’t get the praise he deserves at Parkhead despite his superb displays.
