Ange Postecoglou insists he cannot remember such a dominant performance from his Celtic side.

The Scottish champions defeated Aberdeen 1-0 this lunchtime in what nearly turned out to be a frustrating afternoon for the Hoops.

However, with four-minutes of the 90 remaining, up stepped Callum McGregor with a superb strike. 

On his return to the team after a spell on the sidelines through injury, the captain struck from the edge of the box. 

But the story of the match was how the visitors had over 30 shots on goal and totally controlled the ball throughout. 

Postecoglou admits the game should've been much more comfortable for his team.

He said: "I can't remember a game where we were so dominant and we probably should've won a lot more comfortably. But it's a difficult place to come to and, yeah, I thought we were totally in control although obviously we needed the goal.

"It came late but that's not unusual for us and credit to the lads - just really disciplined in our approach, never got frustrated and got the just rewards.

"When they sit so deep we've got to create the energy, the drive, the tempo in the game.

"We had some good chances that usually we'd put away but through that whole sort of process, we never lost or wavered from our approach and it was great for the skipper to step up. 

"What a great way for him to come back into the team."

McGregor's goal was the 200th of Postecoglou's 18-month tenure. 

That can be broken down as 100 at home and 100 away. 

The Australian added: "Look it's who we want to be, home or away, you saw our approach today.

"We're gonna go at teams and we want to entertain our fans and play our football and it served us well so far so we're going to continue to do that.

"As I said, it's obviously a difficult place to come to but we handled it well and got the rewards."
