John 'Budgie' Stewart started the South African tour the way he ended last season with two goals against Celtic.

Bloemfontein Celtics was Budgie's victim this time, as the Dons won 2-1 this evening in Bloemfontein.

Stewart grabbed his first from the penalty spot in two minutes when he was brought down in the box. The striker picked himself up and stroked the ball home to make it 1-0.

Bloemfontein equalized soon after but the Dons restored their lead on the hour mark when silky midfielder Kyle Macaulay played the ball in from the left and Stewart knocked in his second at the far post.


Aberdeen: Soutar, Hart, Anderson, Touzani, Byrne, Smith, Nicholson, Dempsey (Macaulay), Clark (Diamond), Stewart, Mackie (Maguire).
