Brendan Rodgers expressed satisfaction with his team’s recent win at Parkhead on Wednesday night, which coincided with their rivals’ stumble as Aberdeen maintained their impressive unbeaten streak. Aberdeen’s 2-1 victory solidified their position in second place, level on points with Celtic but trailing on goal difference.
In the post-match interview, Rodgers was asked about the outcome in Aberdeen. He praised the Dons’ strong start but emphasized that it’s still early in the season to make predictions about the title race, with only ten games played.
Rodgers noted, “Aberdeen have had a great start. That’s a solid result for them. But as you’d expect, my focus remains on Celtic. Our players have been performing excellently, scoring goals, showing defensive stability, and placing us well in the Champions League. However, we’re only a short way into the season. For me, the first checkpoint is after ten games, and we’ve done well by then. Aberdeen is right there too, but there’s still a long journey ahead. I’m looking forward to the Hampden clash, especially with players returning, which should make it an exciting match.”
Aberdeen will soon face Celtic again in the League Cup semi-final at Hampden Park. This meeting follows their recent competitive encounter, where both teams battled to a thrilling draw. The Dons are expected to approach the upcoming game with confidence, and Celtic is prepared for a challenging matchup.
Their last clash at Hampden ended in a 3-3 draw, ultimately seeing Celtic advance on penalties, and they later lifted the Scottish Cup.
