Celtic manager Ronny Deila with Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes ahead of the game
Aberdeen secured a dramatic 2-1 win against Celtic this afternoon and after losing all four matches against the Hoops last season in finishing runners-up to Ronny Deila’s side, Derek McInnes was keen to stress that on this occasion the “better team won”.
The Dons boss said: “It is not a result I am surprised about. I felt confident we could get a result the same as I was confident last season and the season before when we played Celtic.
“But it was nice to get our rewards, there is no question the better team won.

“I am really pleased with everyone but it is only three points.”
Celtic boss Ronny Deila felt his team dominated the majority of the game, he said: “I am very disappointed with the result. We had control of the game until their penalty and I thought it was a very cheap one. It is a very easy penalty.
“But after the red card, I was very disappointed that we conceded a goal so easy on a set-piece.”
