Celtic v Aberdeen

After the drama, emotion and agony of Turin all eyes in Scotland were on a cloudy Parkhead to see how the Premier League leaders would react at home to the in-form men from the north.

Four days had passed since the controversial decision by German referee Hellmut Krug to award Juventus a decisive penalty after Nicola Amoruso had theatrically dived with two minutes left.

But boss Martin O'Neill, who received a one-match touchline ban after his outburst, had not forgotten and in his programme notes confessed: "I was left devastated after European match misery."

But the best cure would be for his side to put on the kind of show that would send out the signals ahead of Tuesday's second Champions League Group E match with Porto here.

O'Neill chose to freshen up his side and left out Joos Valgaeren, Neil Lennon, Didier Agathe and Chris Sutton.

Into the team came Olivier Tebily, Momo Sylla, Bobby Petta and John Hartson, who was still to get his first goal for the club.

Aberdeen manager Ebbe Skovdahl also decided to make sweeping changes with David Preece, Roberto Bisconti, Ben Thornley, Eugene Dadi and Derek Young all dropping out.

Despite last week's victory over Dundee United, the Dane selected a more defensive side.

He handed youngster Fergus Tiernan his debut, while Ryan Esson, Darren Mackie, Thomas Solberg and Hicham Zerouali also came in.
