No, it seems that the division requires a strong Aberdeen in order for Celtic to reach their peak and continuously win and score points.
The Dons’ performances thus far this season, especially their comeback of a 2-0 hole at Parkhead earlier this month to salvage a point and stay on Celtic’s tail, have greatly delighted head coach Brendan Rodgers.
According to Rodgers, the product can only gain from Aberdeen’s comeback as a major power in Scottish football.
Since fierce competition can only improve the current champions and league leaders, the manager selfishly believes it can increase his team’s prospects of maintaining their unwavering form.
The Dandies have gone 16 games without a loss since Swedish coach Thelin took over, and their 2-1 success over Rangers in the middle of the week only served to increase their self-confidence.
However, Rodgers and his team will have the chance to set a precedent for the remainder of the season in this evening’s Premier Sports Cup semi-final match at Hampden.
