‘I don’t think’: Chris Sutton reacts to Celtic thrashing Aberdeen 6-0 in Scottish League Cup semi-final….

Celtic displayed their offensive firepower with a resounding 6-0 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden on Saturday. The match drew significant attention, not only because of the final berth at stake but also as a clash between Scotland’s top two clubs. Aberdeen had previously managed to hold Celtic to a 2-2 draw at Parkhead after coming back from 2-0 down, but this time, Celtic were unrelenting, putting on a dominant performance that underscored why they are reigning champions.

Brendan Rodgers’ side showed their superiority by pressing Aberdeen from the start and giving them no space to settle. While many anticipated a Celtic win, especially after Aberdeen’s impressive midweek victory over Rangers, few predicted such a ruthless display. Daizen Maeda took home the match ball with a stellar hat-trick, and goals from Cameron Carter-Vickers, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Nicolas Kühn rounded off an emphatic win.

As the goals kept coming, former Celtic striker Chris Sutton weighed in, defending Aberdeen’s performance and questioning what this heavy defeat might mean for the team going forward. Sutton addressed Aberdeen fans, asking whether this loss signals the end of their strong start under manager Jimmy Thelin. “Aberdeen have been Celtic’s closest challengers this season. I want to hear from their fans – do you think the wheels are off at Aberdeen after that demolishing at Hampden?”

Aberdeen’s schedule may have worked against them, as the team struggled to keep up with Celtic after playing their third game in a week. The heavy defeat could bring added pressure on Thelin’s side as they prepare for their next Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee. In contrast, Celtic will quickly shift focus to the Champions League, with an upcoming home match against RB Leipzig following a recent draw with Atalanta.

With demanding fixtures ahead, Celtic remain steadfast in their pursuit of trophies, while Aberdeen will aim to recover quickly and prove that this defeat was only a minor setback. The match underscored the current gap between Celtic and the rest of the league, leaving questions about how Aberdeen—and the rest of Scotland—can keep pace.
