A strong looking Aberdeen side drew 1-1 with reserve
league leaders Celtic at the Excelsior Stadium, Airdrie.
The Dons dominated for large sections of the game after the home side were reduced to 10 men. However it was Celtic who took the lead through McCourt midway through the second half - completely against the run of play. The goal though spurred the Dons on and they got a deserved equaliser minutes later. Jeffrey de Visscher finished off a fine move involving Sone Aluko and Chris Maguire. Aberdeen pressed for the winner but had to settle for a point.
