Virgil van Dijk scored a last-minute winner as Celtic beat Aberdeen 2-1 at Pittodrie on Sunday to move to the top of the Scottish Premiership table.

Adam Rooney gave the Dons the lead after 27 minutes when his deflected effort from close range found the corner of the net but Stefan Johansen equalised before half-time.

Niall McGinn was denied by the base of the post in the second half before Celtic skipper Scott Brown was sent off for a second yellow card with nine minutes remaining.

Dutch defender Van Dijk flicked home the winner from a corner to lift Ronny Deila’s men above Inverness Caley Thistle on goal difference at the Premiership summit.
