“Aberdeen have an ADVANTAGE Over Celtic…” Rodgers SHOCKINGLY Revealed the Surprising Advantage Aberdeen Has Over Celtic and Rangers This Season That May Help in Winning the SPFL Title….

Brendan Rodgers: Aberdeen’s Lack of European Football Gives Them an Advantage

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has praised Aberdeen’s performance in their 2-2 draw at Celtic Park, citing their absence from European competition as a significant factor in their strong domestic form.

“They are a good team, well-coached,” Rodgers told BBC Scotland. “They have the luxury of no European football, so they can prepare going into each game each week.”

Rodgers acknowledged that Aberdeen’s focus on domestic fixtures allows them extra time to prepare and work on their strategy, which they are utilizing effectively.

The Celtic boss expressed disappointment that his team failed to secure the win, despite taking a two-goal lead. “We should win the game today, there is no doubt about that. We just could not find the killer instinct.”

Aberdeen’s ability to stay level with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table after eight games is a testament to their strong start to the season.

In contrast, Celtic’s European commitments, including their upcoming Champions League match against Atalanta, add an extra layer of complexity to their schedule.

Aberdeen’s next match is against Dundee United at Pittodrie, while Celtic faces the Italian side in the Champions League.

Rodgers’ comments highlight the challenges faced by teams competing in multiple competitions. Celtic’s European ambitions may impact their domestic performance, while Aberdeen’s focus on the Scottish Premiership allows them to maintain a strong pace.

The contrast between Celtic’s European ambitions and Aberdeen’s domestic focus sets up an intriguing dynamic in the Scottish Premiership title race.
