Celtic could have made the margin of victory more comfortable but Scott Sinclair's second-half penalty was saved by Aberdeen goalkeeper Joe Lewis.

Aberdeen never really looked like getting back into the match, with Celtic picking up an 18th Scottish League Cup crown on the same day as rivals Rangers won 2-1 at Hearts to go top of the Scottish Premiership.
