Half-Time Report: Jason Denayer heads Celtic in front against Aberdeen

Jason Denayer's header has given Celtic a 1-0 lead at half time against Aberdeen in their top-of-the-table clash in the Scottish Premiership.

The leaders started brightly and Leigh Griffiths fizzed a shot narrowly wide inside the first five minutes, before Adam Rooney saw a header saved at the other end.

Ryan Jack brought a save from Craig Gordon for the visitors after the half-hour mark, but it was Denayer who broke the deadlock on 38 minutes.

The defender rose highest from a corner to power a header home and give Ronny Deila's men the advantage at the break.
