Celtic cruised into the Scottish League Cup final on Saturday with a dominant win over Aberdeen at Hampden. Daizen Maeda’s hat-trick grabbed the spotlight, while Cameron Carter-Vickers, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Nicolas Kuhn also got on the scoresheet.
Aberdeen had previously shown resilience against Celtic, but this time around they were outclassed in every department. Charlie Mulgrew didn’t mince words, pointing out the vast difference in quality between the two teams.
Despite Aberdeen’s impressive form this season, Celtic’s superior physical and technical abilities were on full display. Mulgrew emphasized that every Celtic player outshone their Aberdeen counterparts, highlighting the stark contrast between the sides.
With upcoming fixtures in both domestic and European competitions, Celtic have the opportunity to strengthen their position as the top team in Scotland. The depth of talent in their squad was evident as they comfortably defeated Aberdeen without needing to call upon key players from the bench.
As Celtic look to extend their lead in the Premiership and continue their European campaign, the gap between them and the rest of Scottish football is becoming more apparent. The coming months will likely see them solidify their status as champions once again.
