SUNDAY'S win over Aberdeen completed a clean sweep of four victories over our closest challengers for the title.

It wasn't the prettiest of games and in actual truth although it's four out of four for Ronny Deila against Derek McInnes, Aberdeen have done more than enough in the games to suggest they can build on this season and be stronger next campaign.

It was good to see a professional display from the champions on Sunday, too often was the case under the previous regime that after the league was wrapped up the tools would go down. It may still happen in the remaining two games but it was pleasing to see us go to Aberdeen and win.

Scott Brown was immense in midfield and his goal summed up his commitment to Celtic as a captain. It was a 'captain's goal' if ever was the case and his driving display really picked Celtic up from a poor start at Pittodrie. As he heads into his 9th season as a Celtic player it must be applauded that he looks to be over his injury worries.

We missed him in last year's Champions League qualifiers and hopefully with a long summer of rest he will be back to lead the team into battle for a spot in Europe's premier competition. His rallying of the troops after Jason Denayer was crudely brought down really sparked a battling finish to the game for Celtic.

It is clear that the players play for him as well as the manager, he is one of the most popular members of the squad and has shown a great deal of maturity in the last few years. Testament to that would be his rise in influence in the Scotland set up, and the fact he is turning his hand to coaching youngsters at Celtic in his spare time.

Scott Brown truly is an asset to Celtic Football Club and I hope the partnership still has a few years left in the tank. The club as a whole would be a duller place without him.

With the remaining two games that are left of the season, Ronny Deila will have an opportunity to see the rest of his squad in action before making the decisions on who to keep and who to sell come the summer. I anticipate a very busy summer at the revolving doors of Celtic Park.

There are plenty of players there who are not doing nearly enough to challenge for a place in the team and I can only imagine they'll be moved on, or sent back to their parent clubs come the end of the season.
