An interesting , if brief assessment. For full disclosure I’m a Celtic supporter, but I’m pleased to see the resurgence of Aberdeen under Thelin this season.
The league generally- and Celtic particularly -really need stronger competition, and what Thelin has achieved on his budget is impressive.
It was a short summary but you are remiss not to mention the other, darker elements of Aberdeens setup. Shinnie and Neilson(sp?) got away with murder all night. Either of the would have picked up a red had they been playing anybody but Celtic. Only certain refs will let you away with that , and none would tolerate it against Rangers. Another sign that Thelin really has the pulse of Scottish football.
Strengthen in January and finish at least second in the league and you will have enervated Scottish football. Good luck!
