Aberdeen’s captain Graeme Shinnie has commended Celtic for their dominant performance after his team suffered a tough 6-0 loss in the Premier Sports League Cup semi-final at Hampden. Celtic’s resounding victory comes just as they prepare to host RB Leipzig in a crucial Champions League match at Parkhead.
Reflecting on the game, Shinnie acknowledged Celtic’s quality, despite his disappointment. Aberdeen’s defeat marked their first loss in 17 games this season, and Shinnie noted that his team needs to show more resilience. He stated, “We didn’t perform well; Celtic took advantage. When they’re given the freedom to play, they punish you.”
Shinnie, speaking to the *Daily Record*, credited Celtic’s play style, saying they moved the ball excellently and took advantage of Aberdeen’s defensive lapses, especially on set-pieces. He emphasized that while tiredness wasn’t an excuse, his team simply didn’t meet their usual standards in such a big match.
Celtic now shifts focus to their European ambitions, aiming for a strong showing against RB Leipzig.
