Chris Sutton Reacts to Celtic’s Dominant 6-0 Victory Over Aberdeen in Scottish League Cup Semi-Final

Former professional player and pundit Chris Sutton shared his thoughts on Celtic’s impressive 6-0 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-final on Saturday at Hampden Park.

Celtic’s Attacking Prowess

Celtic showcased their attacking might, with Daizen Maeda scoring a brilliant hat-trick, and Cameron Carter-Vickers, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Nicolas Kuhn adding the other goals. Sutton praised Celtic’s performance, acknowledging their status as champions.

“Aberdeen have been Celtic’s closest challengers this season, but today’s result shows the gap between the two teams,” Sutton said. “Celtic’s attacking play was relentless, and they fully deserved their 6-0 victory.”

Aberdeen’s Reaction

Sutton doesn’t believe Aberdeen’s 6-0 loss indicates a collapse, despite being outclassed. On BBC Radio 5 Live Sport’s 606, Sutton stated, “I want to hear from Celtic fans. 6-0, Aberdeen (are) Celtic’s biggest challengers… I don’t think it is. I think they have had a brilliant start to the season under Jimmy Thelin.”

“Celtic’s victory was impressive, but Aberdeen’s response to this defeat will be crucial,” Sutton added. “They need to bounce back quickly and focus on their upcoming league games.”

Sutton’s comments highlight the pressure now on Jimmy Thelin’s Aberdeen side to respond to this defeat.

Celtic’s Champions League Campaign

Celtic’s focus will now shift to their Champions League campaign, with a home clash against RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

“Aberdeen’s European absence has allowed them to focus on the domestic league, but Celtic’s European experience will aid their title defense,” Sutton said.

Conclusion

Celtic’s 6-0 victory over Aberdeen demonstrated their attacking strength and cemented their position as champions. Chris Sutton’s analysis underscores the significance of Aberdeen’s reaction to this loss and the upcoming challenges they face.

The Scottish Premiership title race is far from over, but Celtic’s dominant performance has sent a strong message to their challengers.
