“Aberdeen NOT Rangers Will End Celtic Dominance….” – Aberdeen Player Makes a BOLD CLAIM on HOW Aberdeen Can Clinch the SPFL Title Ahead of Celtic…

Aberdeen’s Title Ambitions: Can They Truly Compete with Celtic?

The debate surrounding Aberdeen’s title chances has sparked intense discussion, with many questioning whether the Dons can genuinely challenge Celtic’s dominance. However, according to Brian Irvine, a cup double-winning defender with Aberdeen in the 1990s, the question of splitting the Old Firm is already moot.

“I don’t know what they’ll do,” Irvine said. “I think the main thing is just to enjoy while the team are doing well. Celtic are obviously a good team and they’re not going to suddenly become a bad team. There is competition there with Aberdeen with the two teams right up clear of Rangers. I think the question ‘can we split the Old Firm’… we’ve done that already.”

Aberdeen’s impressive start to the season, coupled with their 2-2 draw against Celtic in the league, suggests they have the potential to mount a serious challenge. Irvine identifies three key players crucial to their success:

1. Dimitar Mitov (goalkeeper) – His penalty saves have been pivotal, earning vital points for the Dons.
2. Kevin Nisbet (striker) – His goals have been instrumental, filling the void left by Miovski’s departure.
3. Graeme Shinnie (midfielder) – His driving force in midfield has provided stability and momentum.

“The next game against Celtic will be a test,” Irvine acknowledged. “It will be at Pittodrie, which is a bonus. The team can play well at Pittodrie, which is a fortress this season. Celtic are a really good team, and you can’t take that away from them, but you’ve got to compete, and without a doubt, we can compete.”

Aberdeen’s ability to compete with Celtic will be put to the test in their upcoming encounter at Pittodrie. With Irvine’s optimism and the team’s current form, the Dons may yet prove themselves genuine title contenders.
