McGeady crossed for Shunsuke Nakamura's opener and added a second through a sumptuous low shot, before Scott McDonald converted a penalty just before the break having been fouled by Josh Walker.

A sensational turn from McGeady in the 47th minute then allowed McDonald to net with a close-range header and while Lee Miller's powerful strike pulled a goal back for Aberdeen, Celtic's wonderful afternoon was completed in style by Barry Robson.

The recent signing from Dundee United curled in a free-kick to score with his first ever touch for the Glasgow club.

Celtic took the lead in the 17th minute, with Nakamura arriving at the back post to latch on to McGeady's low centre and tap the ball over the line.

Celtic doubled their advantage through McGeady. The midfield maestro showed great composure to cut inside from the right, shift the ball on to his favoured foot and curl an exquisite low shot past Jamie Langfield from 25 yards out.

Any hopes Aberdeen had of mounting a comeback were then extinguished when Walker brought down McDonald in the penalty area and the Australian coolly sent Langfield the wrong way from the resultant spot-kick.

A sumptuous pirouette on the ball saw McGeady once again bemuse the beleaguered Aberdeen back line and from the playmaker's chip McDonald nodded the ball past Langfield from barely a couple of yards out.

Aberdeen finally gave their supporters something to cheer when Miller crashed a shot in off the underside of the bar and in, as Celtic were unable to clear a Scott Severin free-kick.

However, it was the away support who were in raptures 17 minutes from time as Robson replaced Nakamura and immediately beat Langfield with a terrific free-kick.
