GLASGOW (AFP) - A double from substitute Kenny Miller fired Celtic to a come-from-behind 3-1 win over Aberdeen in their Scottish Premier League clash on Sunday.

Miller's goals came in the last six minutes of an enthralling match which had seen Aberdeen take the lead in the 24th minute through Craig Brewster only for Massimo Donati to level on the hour.

Aberdeen went ahead after Aiden McGeady lost possession and Barry Nicholson's low cross was put away by Brewster, who had just got the nod ahead of Steve Lovell for the starting place.

Celtic - who are two points behind bitter rivals Rangers after three matches - slowly fought their was back into the match mainly through the promptings of Japanese playmaker Shunsuke Nakamura.

Indeed it was Nakamura who hit the crossbar with a trademark free-kick before Italian winger Donati equalised on the hour mark after fine work by McGeady.

Donati set Miller up for the second of Celtic's goals, the substitute shooting home from within the penalty area.

Miller then trumped that by sealing Celtic's three points with a fine 20-yard effort in injury-time which leaves the Dons still looking for their first win of the campaign.
