Aberdeen Must Unite at Hampden to Stop Rodgers’ Historic Treble Bid**
As Aberdeen heads to Hampden Park, internal strife threatens to derail their shot at a first trophy in over a decade. With tensions boiling between fans and players, Jimmy Thelin’s squad faces an uphill battle after a dismal run of four consecutive defeats. Meanwhile, Celtic stands on the brink of history—a sixth domestic treble in nine years, with Brendan Rodgers eyeing an unprecedented “treble of trebles.”

A Club Divided**
Aberdeen’s season has been a rollercoaster, and recent chaos hit a new low when defender Jack MacKenzie was struck in the face by a seat thrown by his own fans after a loss to Dundee United. With European hopes dangling by a thread, the Dons must rally to salvage their campaign.
Celtic, though dominant, showed vulnerability in their last outing—needing a 94th-minute equalizer from James Forrest to salvage a draw against St Mirren. Are the champions already mentally on holiday? Their last Scottish Cup clash with Aberdeen was a 3-3 thriller decided on penalties, offering the Dons a glimmer of hope. But Celtic’s Daizen Maeda looms large, boasting seven goals in four Scottish Cup matches.
