Aberdeen thrashed by Strachan's men
Aiden McGeady was Celtic's chief tormentor against Aberdeen, running the desperate Dons ragged to help secure a stunning victory.
McGeady crossed for Shunsuke Nakamura's opener and added a second through a sumptuous low shot, before Scott McDonald converted a penalty just before the break having been fouled by Josh Walker.
A sensational turn from McGeady in the 47th minute then allowed McDonald to net with a close-range header.
And while Lee Miller's powerful strike pulled a goal back for Aberdeen, Celtic's wonderful afternoon was completed in style by Barry Robson.
The recent signing from Dundee United curled in a free-kick to score with his first ever touch for the Glasgow club.
This defeat rounded off a miserable week for Aberdeen, who suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Dundee United in the CIS Insurance Cup semi-final on Tuesday night.
Gordon Strachan's side are now four points adrift of Rangers in the race for the SPL title.
