Rodgers Cites Aberdeen's 'Luxury' in Celtic Title Race
The Bhoys are back in the Premiership title race, but Ange Postecoglou's side will face a tough challenge from a resurgent Aberdeen.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged the "luxury" that Aberdeen have enjoyed in the Scottish Premiership title race this season. The Dons have been able to focus solely on domestic competition, unlike Celtic who have been juggling domestic and European commitments.
Aberdeen's Focus on Domestic Football
Aberdeen's lack of European football has allowed them to focus all their energy on the Scottish Premiership. This has given them a significant advantage in terms of player fatigue and squad rotation. They've been able to build momentum and consistency, while Celtic have had to deal with the strain of multiple competitions.
Celtic's European Journey
Celtic's journey in the Champions League, although ultimately unsuccessful, has undoubtedly taken its toll on the squad. The pressure to perform at the highest level in Europe, coupled with the demanding travel schedule, has undoubtedly impacted their domestic form.
Rodgers' Assessment of the Competition
Postecoglou, however, isn't letting Aberdeen's advantage deter him. "They've had a luxury that we haven't had," he said. "They've been able to focus solely on the league and they've done well. But we're not going to make excuses. We're going to fight until the end."
The Title Race Heats Up
The title race is set to be a thrilling affair with both Celtic and Aberdeen vying for the crown. It'll be fascinating to see if the Dons can maintain their form and exploit the slight advantage they've enjoyed. But Celtic, with their incredible attacking firepower, will be aiming to close the gap and claim the title.
A Battle for Supremacy
The battle for supremacy in the Scottish Premiership is heating up. Aberdeen's focus on domestic football has given them an edge, but Celtic's experience and quality are undeniable. It promises to be a captivating season finale, with the title going down to the wire.
