Chris Sutton has lauded Celtic for grinding out an “enormous” win over Aberdeen to tighten their grip on the Scottish Premiership title.
As the elements battered Pittodrie, it was Reo Hatate’s brilliant strike which finally broke the deadlock 12 minutes from time to end Aberdeen’s 100% home record and send the Hoops seven points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand.
US defender Cameron Carter-Vickers picked up the Player of the Match award for his battling performance, putting in a vital block in the closing minutes to deny Ester Sokler from snatching a late equaliser for the Dons.

Sky Sports pundit Chris Sutton heaped praise on Brendan Rodgers' side after what could prove to be a pivotal moment in the title race. “Enormous win for Celtic in wild conditions,” he wrote on X.
“Celtic had to earn it. Aberdeen gave it their all and pushed them all the way. Hatate with a stunning winner. Taylor great assist. Carter-Vickers a giant at the back.”
