Celtic moved second behind Rangers in the Scottish Premier League yesterday after two late goals gave them a 3-1 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen took the lead after 24 minutes through Craig Brewster and it took champions Celtic until midway through the second half to level through a Massimo Donato free-kick.

Substitute Kenny Miller fired Celtic ahead after 84 minutes after good play from Shunsuke Nakamura and he completed the victory in stoppage time with a curling effort.

Celtic manager Gordan Strachan was involved in a heated row, apparently with Aberdeen fans, after Miller's first goal and was ordered from the dugout.

Celtic have seven points, two behind Rangers who continued their perfect start with a 7-2 thrashing of Falkirk on Saturday.
