Celtic Make Winning Start to Life Without Neil Lennon
News 18Celtic caretaker manager John Kennedy got off to a winning start as Odsonne Edouard’s early goal was enough to see off toothless Aberdeen 1-0 on Saturday. Victory cuts Steven Gerrard’s men’s lead to 15, but with just seven points needed from their remaining eight games of the campaign, it is a question of when not if Rangers end Celtic’s run of nine consecutive league titles. In a similar contest to the one Celtic won by the same scoreline in Lennon’s final home game in charge 10 days ago, an early goal was all the hosts needed against a Dons side that have now not scored in seven of their last eight games. Aberdeen defender Ash Taylor had hit the bar in the fifth minute with a looping header from a Niall McGinn corner, but Derek McInnes’s men rarely threatened after falling behind as they remain four points adrift of Hibs in fourth.
