The previous weeks 4-0 thumping of Hibs seemed to restore some confidence in a Celtic side which, since the injury to Henrik Larsson, had been struggling for form. Or perhaps the opponents had something to do with that - Celtic had scored 12 times in the two games against Aberdeen already that season.
Whatever the reason, Celtic turned in another goalfest of a performance. Paul Lambert started the rout, a wonderful strike into the top corner, finishing off a nice little 1-2 with Viduka. Stephane Mahe added a second only minutes later- right footed, no less - to give Celtic a 2-0 half time lead.
The third came courtesy of Lubo Moravcik midway through the second half - the Slovak picking the ball up wide and drifting past a couple of defenders before firing past Leighton from the edge of the box. And the Aberdeen keeper's day got worse, when he completely misjudged a harmless ball through the Aberdeen defence, leaving Mark Viduka with a tap in for Celtic's 4th.
Regi Blinker grabbed the fifth with just 10 minutes remaining, a fine finish to an absolutely outrageous cross from Morten Wieghorst. And with only minutes remaining, Ian Wright finished things off with his third and final goal for the club.
