Ronny Deila’s future at Celtic in doubt as Aberdeen blow title race open

Aberdeen 2 Celtic 1: Aberdeen dramatically cut Celtic’s lead at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership to three points with a 2-1 win over the Hoops, piling further pressure on Parkhead boss Ronny Deila.

The visitors had looked in control of the match until the 31st minute when Dons wide-man Jonny Hayes, the Dubliner playing with a bandage on his hand after being bitten by a dog, scored with a thunderous drive from 25 yards.

Hopes of a domestic treble for the Glasgow club had ended with a League Cup semi-final defeat to Ross County at Hampden Park on Sunday but there was to be no redemption for the Norwegian in the league.
