ABERDEEN MOVED LEVEL with Scottish Premiership pacesetters Celtic after a comfortable 3-0 win over struggling St Mirren.
Dubliner Adam Rooney got the hosts up and running after 21 minutes at Pittodrie, firing in from close range after a good delivery courtesy of Andrew Considine.
And the Irish striker doubled his tally for the day just after the break, pouncing on a loose ball, turning and finishing from inside the area. The brace means the 26-year-old is the league’s top scorer on 13, while he has got 23 goals in all competitions.
Mark Reynolds wrapped things up just after the hour mark, moving Aberdeen level on 57 points with Celtic, who have two games in hand and face Hamilton on Sunday.
