Jimmy Thelin sends ‘quite dark’ message ahead of Celtic and Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup final.
One more for Celtic and Brendan Rodgers.
On Saturday, Celtic drew 1-1 with St Mirren to celebrate their 2024/25 Premiership title, with James Forrest scoring his record-breaking goal. Aberdeen were defeated at Dundee United on the same day, just days after Celtic beat them 5–0 at Pittodrie in the Premiership. It means Jimmy Thelin’s side finished fifth in the Premiership table following a blistering start to the season, with some predicting a title race.
