Ange Postecoglou hails dominant Celtic display in Aberdeen win
Callum McGregor sealed all three points with a late goal at Pittodrie
Ange Postecoglou believes Celtic were as dominant as he has seen them during their 1-0 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
His side claimed victory through an 87th minute strike from returning captain Callum McGregor.
However, the Hoops dominated the whole match and created a number of chances.
Postecoglou says he would have still been happy with the performance if they hadn't have got the goal.
He said: "Delight, it's not relief. It's as dominant as I have ever been in a game of football away from home and we got our goal late, but I we didn't get frustrated or disappointed and we made them work.
"For a performance i can't ask for any more from the lads. Although we could have scored more, which we should have, to win 1-0 in that manner shows the belief the players have in the way we play.
"To be honest if we had got a draw I wouldn't have been disappointed. You have to look. at the performance.
"You want to win every game of football, but the reality is that's not how football works.
"You look at the mentality and getting the goal is great because it rewards the players."
