Aberdeen captain Graeme Shinnie praised Celtic for their dominant performance following Aberdeen’s heavy 6-0 defeat in the Premier Sports League Cup semi-final at Hampden. The convincing win comes as Celtic prepare for a crucial Champions League match against RB Leipzig at Parkhead.
Reflecting on the loss, Shinnie admitted his disappointment but acknowledged Celtic’s quality. The defeat ended Aberdeen’s 17-game unbeaten streak this season. Shinnie emphasized the need for his team to demonstrate greater resilience, stating, “We didn’t perform well; Celtic capitalized. When you give them the freedom to play, they punish you.”
Speaking to the *Daily Record*, Shinnie highlighted Celtic’s impressive ball movement and ability to exploit defensive lapses, particularly on set-pieces. He made it clear that while fatigue wasn’t an excuse, Aberdeen fell short of their usual standards in such an important match.
