Second-placed Aberdeen bounced back from their midweek defeat to leaders Celtic with a 2-1 home victory over Ross County in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Michael Gardyne opened the scoring for County with a low strike after eight minutes before Ryan Christie equalised with a left-footed effort from outside the box moments later.

The Dons took the lead seven minutes after the break when Kenny McLean scored from the penalty spot after Graeme Shinnie had been pulled back by Jason Naismith.

The result sees them move back within one point of Celtic, who drew 1-1 with Kilmarnock, and five clear of Rangers, who beat Hearts 3-1.
