Celtic 2-0 Aberdeen
In-form Maciej Zurawski scored one and made another as Celtic moved to within two points of Hearts, and three clear of Rangers, with an assured 2-0 victory over Aberdeen. Stilian Petrov’s was the other name on the scoresheet as Jimmy Calderwood's Dons were comfortably put to the sword with a performance that was solid rather than spectacular, but which nevertheless yielded a victory made all the more satisfying and potentially significant by Alex McLeish’s side dropping two points at Falkirk.
