GLASGOW, Scotland - Celtic rallied to beat Aberdeen 3-1 on Sunday and
return to the top of the Scottish league.
When Jamie Winter put Aberdeen 1-0 up in the 53rd minute it looked like
Gordon Strachan's Hoops may follow last week's surprise loss to
Dunfermline with another defeat.
But Celtic scored three goals in eight minutes through Aidan McGeady,
Stilian Petrov and Paul Telfer. It was the 13th victory in 17 games for
Celtic, which now leads Hearts by a point.
Celtic is 17 points ahead of traditional rival and defending champion
Rangers, which slipped to fifth on Saturday after losing a two-goal lead
in a 2-2 draw with Falkirk. Also Saturday, Hearts edged last-place
Livingston 2-1 to remain second; third-place Hibernian lost 1-0 at Dundee
United; Kilmarnock won 1-0 at Dunfermline; and Inverness beat Motherwell
2-0.
Chinese international defender Du Wei was not included in the side for
this game. China's domestics media said he was suffered with a leg
injury, but Du said it was only a minor injury.
Du will fight for his chance to debut at the Celtic as the team's Guinean
central back Dianbobo Balde is set to play African Cup matches in January.
