Aberdeen made it a historic six wins out of six this afternoon with a dramatic 2-1 win over Celtic at Pittodrie.
The Dons lost all four matches against Celtic last season but put that record straight this afternoon as Paul Quinn netted a late winning goal to ensure the Dons sit two points clear at the top of the league with a game in hand.
While there were plenty of jubilant scenes in the Pittodrie stands, there was also plenty of celebration on social media.
Former Open champion Paul Lawrie and USA international Stuart Holden were amongst the Dons celebrating on Twitter, while Celtic assistant manager John Collins also received plenty of stick for comments he made earlier this season, in which he seemed to suggest Scottish football wasn’t challenging enough for Celtic.
Nae often you shoot 63 and it's the second best result of the day. #COYR

John Collins was right when he said nobody in Scotland could compete with Aberdeen. Oh wait . . . ??

Well done Aberdeen.
Mind that time John Collins said there was no team in Scotland who could challenge them? LOL

Yaaas! Serious belief in this team. To go down to ten men and still graft like that and earn a win was immense. #COYR
