We sought your perspectives on Celtic’s 6-0 League Cup semi-final triumph against Aberdeen. Here is a summary of your feedback: Stephen noted that despite Celtic leading 3-0 in the first half and their manager receiving a booking for diving, he believed the team lacked complete control. He described the second half as “totally brilliant,” with Celtic performing “magnificent[ly],” scoring an additional three goals and maintaining a clean sheet. He added that Kasper Schmeichel had little involvement, calling it a “Great result against an Aberdeen side who have been very impressive this season.” Charles expressed that this outcome and display were anticipated and should not be particularly surprising. He recalled a previous instance at Celtic Park where Aberdeen, trailing 2-0 at halftime, was “let off the hook” due to a “very casual and unprofessional approach to the second half,” which resulted in an “unlikely draw” that was “on reflection deserved in the end.” He concluded, “they weren’t so fortunate this time!” Jim stated, “We blew Aberdeen away with our intensity and the pace of game.” He observed that Aberdeen’s only response was “to try and foul and disrupt our rhythm,” suggesting that “A stricter referee would have sent off at least one or two Aberdeen players.” David commented that Aberdeen was “put to the sword by a highly impressive Celtic who were totally on their ‘A’ game.” He lauded it as a “Terrific performance, best this season,” noting that Celtic had “fully recovered from their own big European hammering.” He identified Daizen Maeda as “the star of the show.” Addressing commentators’ remarks about the Dons’ poor performance compared to recent matches, David asserted, “that’s because Celtic didn’t allow it. Brilliant!” Daithi described the display as an “Absolutely outstanding performance” and a “passing master class by Celtic.” He reiterated his season-long belief that “no Scottish club can handle our style of fast passing football and clinical finishing at this moment in time,” attributing this to the players’ “hunger to play for the shirt and more importantly our great club.” Benny characterized the match as “A totally dominant display from an on fire Celtic that slapped Aberdeen down with relative ease.” He observed that “Right from the delayed kick off Celtic looked up for it and were sharp all over the pitch,” possessing “way too much energy and class for a resurgent Aberdeen.” He expressed hope that “they can take this kind of form going into Europe midweek.” Paul simply stated Celtic was “Just far too good,” demonstrating “their strength and mentality for winning.” He predicted they “will do the treble this year” and “will also qualify for the knock out stage of the Champions League,” expecting them to “get better as the season progresses, plus some more signings in January.”
