Celtic dropped points for the SIXTH time this season as new signing Nicolas Kuhn rescued a share of the spoils against managerless Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
The Hoops had the German winger - signed for £2.8million from Rapid Vienna last month - to thank after he came off the bench to rifle a deflected effort past Dons goalkeeper Kelle Roos after being played through on goal by fellow January recruit Adam Idah.
Bojan Miovski, who was linked with the Scottish champions throughout the window, opened the scoring in early in the second half with a sumptuous strike after an opening 45 minutes dominated by the visitors.
Celtic winger Luis Palma had the ball in the Aberdeen net after turning home a rebound early on, but the Honduran was correctly flagged offside following a VAR intervention. The home side went in at half-time having failed to touch the ball inside the opposition box throughout the entire first-half, such was their limited attacking threat.
Palma then clipped the crossbar at the back-post before Paulo Bernardo's lofted effort also struck the woodwork. Kyogo Furuhashi - making his 100th start in the green and white hoops, struggled to stamp his authority on the match and it wasn't until the introduction of Kuhn and Idah, coupled with a change of shape, did Celtic spark into life.
Brendan Rodgers' side, who haven't lost in the North East in eight years, move six points clear at the top of the league standings. However, a win for Rangers over bottom side Livingston later today would reduce the gap to three.
Here’s our Celtic player ratings:
Unused subs: Scott Bain (GK), Odin Thiago Holm, Daniel Kelly, James Forrest.
9. Liel Abada - 5/10
Pretty quiet by his own standards. The Israeli didn't post too large a threat and was one of three players hooked just before the hour mark. | SNS Group
10. Luis Palma - 6/10
Prominent in attack and denied an early opener by VAR after straying into an offside position. Struck the bar with a back-post effort and was Celtic's best player in the first-half. Influence faded after the interval. Subbed. | SNS Group
11. Kyogo Furuhashi - 5/10
Just isn't at the races. The Japanese talisman was making his 100th start. Saw a goal-bound effort ricochet into Palma's path but the winger was caught offside. | SNS Group
12. Adam Idah (SUB) - 6/10
Making his debut as a second half substitute after replacing Bernardo on 59 mins, the Norwich City loanee provided an assist for Kuhn's leveller. Displayed his intelligence and some nice touches. A positive building block. | SNS Group
